Or at the very least provide some checksums. Provided you trust the authors post on this forum of course. At least that then solves the "I trust you, but not your crappy download location" issue.
That method has worked for me in the past. Get the part including the checksums using annoyingly slow but trusted channel A, then get the bulk using non-trusted but fast channel B. Then verify checksums. And if they managed that many hash collisions I deserve the malware. :P

* Amazon S3 (< $0.10/month for the traffic we'll create for a file this size.)
* Dropbox
* OneDrive
* Google Drive
* etc...

I can kinda understand, as one may not trust the anonymity of services that require a login (or credit card!) for a "hacking" tool.
madcrow requested, so I have now mirrored both files.

It could not detect the USB-connected scope at that step after loading the custom firmware.

Ditto.
When I plug in the scope, the computer plays the connection sound but nothing appears in the selection pane.
During the installation process, some NI utility was installed, but obviously not the correct one.
So, I downloaded visa540_runtime from ni.com, where I had to create an account. After unzipping and running setup.exe, a message came up that no notifications could be found and no software will be installed. Then I downloaded the same named program from Batronix and again, no software will be installed.
Ergo, while the upgrade utility will work for some, it does not work for others.
It just sounded too good to be true.

Sorry about the connection issue, guys.
Last night, I investigated the issue and found the cause of the problem (dll binding redirect stuff). Stay tuned for a fixed version in the next couple of days ;)
I am happy to provide technical details about the problem and fix, too, in case someone is interested.
