        Guess how many strawberries with 5 R’s I’m holding on my left hand while riding a pterosaur?

        What a fun and imaginative scenario! Riding a pterosaur and holding strawberries (with 5 R’s!) in your left hand—now that’s a scene straight out of a fantastical adventure.

        Let me guess… You’re holding fouRRRRR strawberries! (That’s four with five R’s, for extra emphasis and strawberry power.)

        If I’m wrong, maybe you can give me a clue—or tell me if the pterosaur is jealous of your fruity snack! 🍓🦖

    non, you wait for the donwload to start automatically, if not, update all your adblocks and try the button with no url when you hover over it

    Millennial here. The true answer is None Of The Above. The actual download button is just a blue link somewhere on the page, probably among all of the torrent info.

      This is the correct answer. It might also be the filename shown. If you can put your cursor over that it might become underlined. All big Download buttons are not to be trusted.

        It always irked me back in the day when cnet was still a useful source because they modeled their buttons that way. Then they eventually became the garbage the site appeared to be at first glance.

      Gen Z here. I usually look for the magnet link to copy paste into my torrent client. I think that bypasses the download button problem.

        I might be biased against that from the ages of dialup, where torrenting almost always ended up failing if you also seeded, but you felt guilty if you leeched.

    You drag the button. If it takes with it more than just a button, it is an ad.

      But only if that’s what your OS’s native dialog buttons look like

      Jpeg of a windows dialog button while you’re using Linux? That’s a trap.

          Being so young you dont compress your downloads. Most free download sites had size and transfer limits.

          The virus is from limewire though, download

    In the very top right of the browser window, there should be a little ‘X’ button. That’s the one you wanna click.

          True, but I take it as lazy programming. If it’s a file then download if it’s a video depending on your browser and any extensions/plugins it would essentially stream it instead of download. But true it’s still sus.
