Is it just me?

Where is the G.D.'d DOWNLOAD button or tab once you select the file you want??

Maybe you have to be a Brit to download?

Hi Larry,
Go through the shopping motions and after about four steps you get a download link.

Thank you, SES.

Only government employees would think up ways to make things so user-unfriendly by failing to provide instructions that people just give up and say "the hell with it." What do I know. Maybe that was the purpose.

Well, that was a complete flop, SES. I jumped through all the hoops and nothing downloaded. I waited a full 5 minutes - nada, zilch, zip, zero, nothing. Screw it. Fortunately, I thoroughly researched all of the DEFE Hut 3 ULTRA on microfilm between 1988 and 1992, so nothing lost, nothing gained.

Try dealing with private sector sometime! I doubt they'd be giving anything away free (even to non-UK taxpayers!). I downloaded a file with no trouble, by the way.
