Let's be honest for a moment. If you want to download everything smoothly, without waiting around or dealing with slow speeds, you'll probably need a premium account on a file hosting service. That's just how file hosts work. With premium access, downloads are faster and more stable. Sometimes they're even faster than torrents, depending on your connection.
Free downloads still work, but don't expect miracles. Speeds can be slow, downloads may pause, and there are often limits from the file host. In many cases it feels a bit like the old dial-up days from the 90s. Not great, but those are the rules of file hosting.
Of course, you might say: "Forget it, I'll just use torrents." That's your choice. Just keep in mind that torrents are easy to track, so many people end up using a VPN or a VPS to stay private. At that point it's not really free anymore either.
The links on our posts are direct download links (HTTP/HTTPS), not torrents. That means you can download them normally without worrying about torrent tracking. Still, if you want faster speeds and fewer interruptions, a premium account with the file host you prefer will make things much easier.
Now let's look at how downloading works and where to find the download links.

As shown in the screenshots, most posts give you multiple links to choose from, often offering downloads via different Free File Storage services. For example, you might see two links for the installer version and two more for the portable version. This gives you flexibility to pick your preferred storage provider.
The download links are always located at the bottom of the post inside the section labeled "DOWNLOAD FROM FREE FILE STORAGE".
