Helps to sometimes toggle back and forth from the non-secure HTTP:// page, and the secure HTTPS:// page to see which one will work - surprisingly one might work for a moment when the other won't.
Well, I just returned to the download page and it is still redirecting me - in the past, with the same equipment and browser setup I have now, I was able to access the download. So, we are supposed to jump through hoops to get the portable download - could at least tell us what the hoops are. I guess we are to keep returning in the hopes of "being lucky" like the moderators above?
Still doesn't work for me - in answer to #12: I've been in the same location for years using the same provider. I've tried on Firefox, Edge, and Internet Explorer. Time and date are synced. So.... just have to keep trying in hopes of a "lucky day".
