Mac App a Day launches

Um... It links me to a 403 Forbidden page when I try to download the application. :

Same here. I was going to download it here at work on my Windows system (which works routinely on every other Mac download site) and FTP it to my Mac at home, but got the "Sorry, you've already downloaded this" error.

I think it's a cool idea and a generous offer, and I've got no problem with the 5,000 cutoff. I just wish the back-end stuff were wired up better.

That's the problem; nobody designed the site. It's nothing more than a horribly configured WordPress install with an innapropriate theme. I wish they'd get the flippin' hint.

same here. i went to the site to download it and it said that I already downloaded the app. Rad. Love the system.

I didn't have a problem downloading the file, but I bought Synergy a few months ago, which basically does the same thing. Oh well, free is free

Ok. it's smaller than an old-fashioned floppy disk (500k) let it download already! Of course, you don't let safari auto open stuff right? So, you don't want it? right-click, move to trash. easy.

Give away free ice-cream and have people scream that it's not vanilla and that you just handed them the cone without asking if they wanted it. whiners.

This is an incredibly stupid download system. I clicked on the link from TUAW and it brought me right to the page that started downloading it -- but I didn't want it before I read about what it was, so I clicked Cancel on the FireFox dialog asking me where I wanted to save it. Once I decided I did want it, the site said I already downloaded it!

So I remote desktopped into my Windows machine at work, which only has IE on it, and proceeded to the download page. IE popped that bar at the top telling me it had blocked a download unless I wanted it. So I told IE that I did indeed want it, but the site said I had already downloaded it!

Stupid piece of crap. Here's a brilliant idea: DON'T HAVE A WHOLE PAGE THAT AUTOMATICALLY INITIATES A DOWNLOAD. Have a big button to push that says "You can only download this once, so don't click cancel or use IE".

i had the same problem as 1 & 3

This is bs. I tried d/ling, site told me, I had done so already. And no, noone else with the same IP nor am I at a workplace. Well done, MacAppGoodDay...

Someone else at your workplace may have downloaded the app, or someone else with the same IP
