I've seen this occur on websites that "look" for a particular browser.  I use Firefox and don't get the "register" message.  But I have seen some websites use ActiveX controls in IE to make IE do things that other browsers can't (because ActiveX is an IE proprietary technology).

... Just went to the download.com site with IE and was able to start the download with no registration necessary.

I also have cookies turned off on my browsers...that could be another "trigger".  Try turning them "off" or setting them to "session only".

Aaron and if I looked correctly you know have to register to get the 
download, does that sound right?

I have been there recently and when you to download.com then you click on 
download the next screen will prompt you to register.

I normally find it here:

http://www.lavasoft.com

The "Personal Edition" link takes you to the download.com download page.
