Thank you, for your efforts, but there's still a long way to go.
I occasionally need to tell non-technical users to install WinSCP. Assume someone told you to download the software from the following page: http://i.imgur.com/1HoyMWz.png http://i.imgur.com/1HoyMWz.png Where is the ad, and where is the download link?
It's better than last time I looked, since the ad is no longer a big green button labelled "download", but it is still misleading.
- mkj 11y agoI had to install winscp the other day and thought the same. Perhaps time to give up on winscp.

- scrollaway 11y agoI keep thinking this fight is just a game of whack-a-mole. It's nice to reduce the impact but there's some really core issues with the model in the first place: Embedding ads means embedding dynamic content from a third party server that was submitted by other people. On top of that, Windows users having to download software off websites instead of common software being distributed through a repository doesn't help. The repository (aka "store") model has shown itself to work really well even in the mainstream, unfortunately the Windows store is atrocious.
