So I went to the download page: https://fpgasoftware.intel.com/13.0sp1/?edition=web&platform=windows
to try and download 13.0sp1 (which I already use, just trying to redownload a few files).
And it worked, but it took a lot of fiddling in the browser to make it work.
First time I went and tried a download it would work.
Click on link, throws up a legal dialog to agree/disagree (I agreed) and then the download 'save file ...' popped up.
If I tried to do another download it got to the agree/disagree box but after agreeing the save file box never appeared, and the download would not start.
I had to refresh the browser page and then I could get through the file download sequence.
When I tried again right away it failed. Had to refresh the page again for it to work.
I'm using Firefox 64b v73.0 on Win7 64b and have never seen this problem before.
So Intel broke something in their download page, it appears.
This is not unusual, unfortunately.
Ever since Intel took over Altera and moved from the Altera support pages to the abomination of this Intel support website there have been issues.
But that is a rant for another post at another time.
Even now just posting in this dialog is horribly slow, I'm typing about five words ahead of what is on the screen...
