      Be sure to type the password in all lower case. If you are using Internet Explorer, please try another browser. If this problem persists, please email me (tina at makeuseof dot com) and I will send you the URL.

      I am not sure what the issue here but the fact that you’re using Tor shouldn’t make any difference for the download porocess. What error are you seeing? Did you try downloading using some other browser?

    This is so helpful. I have two monitors and when I’m doing trouble shooting I like to keep this command list up on one screen to save me the hassle of toggling back and forth. You guys have the best manuals. I will keep referring people here as long as you continue to be the best resource on the web.
