The download link is asking for an email and serial number, should i go ahead with that or is there somewhere we can direct download ?

I think that this scope hacking is overrated.
As a beginner you're much better of with a scope you can have repaired under warranty if needed.
Rigol scopes often develop a fault because of low quality encoders on the front panel.
It is quite annoying if you want to increase the timebase, and it get decreased instead, and if this happens within warranty you can have it repaired for free.
As a beginner the difference between a 50MHz scope and a 100MHz scope is probably also only that you will see more noise.
Therefore I advise to wait with the 100MHz hack untill your scope is out of warranty anyway, or you have a project where the increased bandwith is actually usefull.
