Download redirects...

I'd consider it a kindness if people would stop using crappy download redirects that basically require you to use a browser to download files instead of being able to save a URL and use wget to grab a download. Urgh. This post brought to you by the 1,000,001st site that uses a redirect to provide the URL in an apparent effort to annoy the user.

    I couldn't agree more. I also hate it when sites use a form button when they should use a link, so you can't paste the link in an email or manipulate it from the command line (easily)
