content: am i the only one (other than dave) who is absolutely sick of this company refusing to allow software downloads without an email address?even that wont work now.i spent the last 24 hours going round in circles.request the file - give the email, validate the email, click the download, get fucked back to the begining with an email request!!!it's an endless pointless loop.someone needs to rehost atleast some of the stuff - like stlink related tools.
