I’ve just been trying to download the tar.gz version of the latest Avast for Linux, but all I’m getting is a web page of some kind of script appearing rather than a downloadable product.
The RPM and DEB packages download ok but just not the TAR.GZ package.
I’ve tried with a different computer and browser in both Linux and Windows but still just get the corrupt web page. (Which also seems to cause a temporary hangup as well)
Anyone else finding this problem?
By the way, these Captcha “I’m a human” challenges are a bit ridiculous aren’t they? On the forum registration page I had to try 4 or 5 times before I could get one that was even vaguely readable - and now I’ve got to do the same damn time-wasting thing on this forum post! Surely they don’t have to be SO ruddy obscure?
Do you have the plans for an anti-alien NUCLEAR DEATH RAY or something hidden somewhere on this website? - hence the excessive pro-human security!
Any Linux distribution (x86 platform only) with GLIBC version 2.1 or higher and pthreads libraries installed
486 processor (Pentium or higher recommended)
32 MB RAM (64 MB recommended)
I submitted a ticket to Avast Support about this and today got this reply:-

Hello,
it reaches the tar.qz just fine. The “script page” is the tar.qz file which your browser opens in text mode. Use rightclick and save as.

Is this a Czech joke perhaps?
p.s. I’ve had enough of the crazy Captcha’s here. Lost my first attempt to post while trying to follow it.
