Well, I just attempted to get a download from the site mentioned by T. Lee and I am appalled at what happened. The first link ("Programa en Gambas3 (Nueva versión 2)" produced an otherwise blank page in a new tab that said, in effect, for XXX bucks you can advertise here. Nothing more and NO WAY to get back to the original page other than just close the tab. The second link was stopped by Ghostery as being a "forwarded link to a known blacklisted site". Also, my AdBlockPlus kicked in and alerted me that there were blockable items on the page. Since I never saw ANY type of download pop-up appear, I just gave up. I state for the record that the ads and questionable links on just that page alone would keep me from going back. Bill

The downloads are free, you just have to wait for the "skip this ad" button pops in the upper right corner and then press it. Sorry for the inconvenience Julio I have no problem with that: I don't see that as spam. Well I do. I have no problem with advertising on websites. But to force ads upon downloaders of community contributed applications is, in my opinion, inappropriate. But if it bothers no one else, who am I to buck the crowd? Regards, T. Lee As I actually use AdBlock, I don't see them. Are they advertising from blogspot or from Julio? I am unsure what you mean by, "from blogspot or from Julio", Benoît. If by, "Julio", you mean the author/application page in the Application Repository, then, no, that is not where the ads are. Take, for example, the page at: [3]http://jsbsan.blogspot.com.es/2012/05/arduino-y-gambas3-lectura-y-graficos-d e.html The link for "Programa en Gambas3 (Nueva versión 2)" is [4]http://5d346c06.linkbucks.com/ (hope you get lots of clicks from that Julio!) Click the link, and an ad pops up in a new tab. You have to wait for the ad to load, then you can click, "SKIP THIS AD". When you do that, yet another ad pops up in another new tab. Closing the latest new tab reveals the download dialog in the first ad tab. I suppose going through this is not too much trouble to help support a fellow coder. It's just that I find it somewhat, annoying; especially when some of the ads try to be deceptive with, "Your download is ready." And, as I said, "If it bothers no one else..." :-) Regards, T.
