      Really fitting since usually the correct one isnt any of those. It’ll be the non-flashy, plain text “download here” link.

        KNIGHT: He chose… poorly.

        Indy studies the array of download buttons.

        ELSA: It would not be made out of gold with Javascript.

        Indy picks up another cup, a simple earthenware jug.

        INDY: That’s the cup text link of a carpenter of raw HTML.

        He and Elsa exchange a look.

        INDY: There’s only one way to find out.

      The real ancient trials were on the 1990s warez sites where you’d have to hunt for a 2 pixel square link on a giant page of porn ads and other trickery. Then you could get part 42 of 78 of a .rar for some game. Repeat another 77 times and wait a week for it to download on 33.6k and you got a free game!

        And using flash get to manage your shitty download speed to resume disconnections and multithreading the 5 kbps stream to max out your download.

      Back when I had this problem, I got past it by hovering over the links and buttons and looking at the little url preview in the corner. The real one will either be on the same domain as the website or it will be something like gofile. The fake ones will go to domains like ads.doubleclick.net and ofksheugj.info.

      Every time I see this I expect them to show someone called Wesley.
