You have to log on and allow CNET to keep a record on what your downloading. What CNET is saying is that from this point on they are going to track what you do at download.com. Once you log on you can click the link that that has a font size of 2 right below the secure downloader link that is font size 40. Hmmmmmm I wonder why the font sizes are so dramatically different.
How can I download without installing the stupid cnet download manager?
