I have a few arguments about the way the article took his/her argument down.
1. There was no mention of http://putty.en.softonic.com/
2. If you are looking for an SSH client, you are not a normal user and should know that CYGWin or Putty are freely available.
3. Using whois is considered more advanced end-user techniques.
4. Continual complaints that the download server doesn't have SSL. It's annoying and bad. Trying it again and again is kind of pointless. You made your point.
5. Tries to get the author's key via the MIT PGP server. This is NOT end-user stuff here.

- corresation 13y agoYou seem to be arguing that the article wasn't an entirely different article. As __david__ rightly mentioned, he doesn't say "this is what the average person encounters". Indeed, I think the situation is even more profound given that it is, quite specifically, talking about security software that fairly adept practitioners use.
- psykovsky 13y agoThat was exactly his point, I guess. If an advanced user strugles like this to securely download some piece of software imagine a regular end-user.
