How to download in spite of their shit interface ∞

1. From clicking “slow download”, set a timer for 1.5 minutes.

   • You can use the Clock provided by Windows [ 1 ]
   • Note: Do not interact with the CAPTCHA until it has concluded.
2. Do not close this tab (which provided the “Download file” link)

3. Keep your downloads tab open (e.g. brave://downloads/ on Brave)

It seems you did not wait 60 seconds ∞

If you get the error message

It seems you did not wait 60 seconds of the Captcha loading, please start from the beginning

Then begin the 1.5 minute timer anew. Do not interact with the CAPTCHA until it has concluded.

Slow/frozen downloads ∞

Just be patient. If you don’t get an aborted download message, just wait.

Self-aborted downloads ∞

Your download might abort in the middle.

Check your downloads tab (e.g. brave://downloads/ on Brave) and click the button to retry or continue the download.

If you cannot get the download working again from that download page, then go back to the upstore.net tab which provided the original “Download file” link and click the link again; it should still work.

If the link does not work

1. copy the tab URL
2. open a new tab
3. paste the URL

4. and follow these instructions anew.
