I only use an ancient version of FF and with images disabled so I never
know
what ads/pics I'm supposed to be looking at , for the 10 seconds or so
before the deliberate revenue earning delayed functional download link
appears. Quite obvious delayed intrusion , then , as no extraneous imagery
to mask it. But it has always appeared, ISTR. I don't know if its still
the
case that if you download the front cover pic, that counts as one off your
daily download limit.

I use Opera. I see 3 references to "Sponsored link(s)", but no actual
links. That said, I've blocked a lot of domains and I have other
content blockers, so I don't know what I'm supposed to be seeing. I
also have images disabled by default, but even when I enable them I
still see nothing. I don't see any download accelerator, nor is there
any attempt to hijack my settings.

It does take a little time before I see the "Get Manual" link, though.

It's a bit of a 'strange' site in a number of regards, but overall, I have
had quite a reasonable amount of success with it. Sometimes, it seems to be
the only site where an obscure manual is available. Providing that you
eventually see the "Get Manual" link, this always seems to work without
issue. However, on the occasions when this hasn't appeared. all other
attempts to follow promising looking links on the page, have seemed to
result in dead ends, transfers to advertising or 'sponsor' sites, or
connections to helper software downloads. It doesn't help that some of the
transfer links don't seem to put the URL that they are going to take you to,
into the bottom task bar, as you mouse over them ...
