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. |O
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.

how hard is it to create a disposable mail address on mail.com?
sheesh. |O

while it is a bit annoying having to sign up to I don't think I've ever had any problems with STs site

maybe you didnt read,
i have a damned email address.
they sent the damned email,
i clicked on the link in the damned email.
it didnt validate shit - just asked my for an email again.
i dont know if they are using cookies, i.p. or what - but it clearly isnt reliable.
for the record, it all worked fine last month with the same browser, email etc.
-
works for me (and others), sounds like a personal problem.
-
I've had weirdness with the ST site before. Wiping the st.com cookies has always fixed it for me.
-
will try later, but the browser is set to wipe them at shutdown anyway - so i'm not sure.
-
will try later
Try a different web-browser.

lol.
well anyway, i got the file.
stupid site must be coded by a college student in deli using buzzwords!!! >:D
it does NOT work in:
original Opera 12.xx
latest Opera <<< based on Chromium.
latest Waterfox <<< based on Firefox.
it did work with Konqueror.
compatability is clearly not ST's strongpoint.
i may waste some time later to try some other browsers like Brave & Firefox
-
Works in Chrome (Version 71.0.3578.98), used Guerrilla Mail for a temp email
