Kaj, it looks like bloat is just the natural course :-)
was the prior image for an even older version of Workstation than 6?
Kaj
Waited a minute, watched ads, says download will take 61 minutes, answered captcha, got popup ads, chose downloading, get same popup ad over and over, no download
VMware version: don't remember. I never made them myself
AdrianS
jeez, it's sad that things have gotten so bad - the thing is that with adblock plus I never see popups so I forget how bad it can be
Kaj
I was just wondering how I can get a popup. Firefox is supposed to block them, but they put them under the download button
AdrianS
you should try the regular download - the other one requires more BS
Kaj
Regular?
AdrianS
you should use adblock plus
Kaj
I never have popups
AdrianS
are there two meters on the page you get?
Kaj
Yes, I'm using regular. For Gold I need to pay
AdrianS
the regular (free) download is the one on the right
Kaj
Yes, that's the one I described
AdrianS
and you still get all that crap?
Kaj
Yes, otherwise you have to pay. Makes sense, but this is not working
AdrianS
what I see when I click there is a countdown timer
Kaj
Yes, and then all the other stuff
I'd rather just upload the VirtualBox image I have
