Re: Kick ass fake links
"Yea, I've seen those redirects that 'suggest' you install their little client to "Enjoy a faster download experience"
Anyone who's tech savvy will ignore that crap."
I tend to agree, but I would like to note that some of us have been pre-conditioned to accept download managers to some degree. E.g. a few years ago Microsoft pushed a download manager on anyone trying to download stuff from their MSDN site.
I can't recall any recent incidents of that type however, so hopefully that nonsense is in the past. I just find it interesting that once again, yesterday's bad habit is today's security pitfall.
