After Googling a little I decided to try out Photoshop Premiere Pro CS4. Premiere Pro CS4 is used for editing videos. But when I tried to download the trial version it forced me to download Akamai Download Manager. Akamai is being used by quite a number of companies namely Microsoft, Asus and Adobe.
I don’t know what’s the big deal with Akamai because my download speeds totally suck with Akamai. Many users complaint of their downloads not even finishing. Personally I just hate being forced to install software that I don’t want.
To download without using Akamai you simply follow the steps in the video below. It’s either you start the download using Akamai (yes you still have to install Akamai), then copy the file link as show in Akamai into your web browser to start a direct download using your own download manager. Personally I’m using Internet Download Manager. You can get it from www.internetdownloadmanager.com.
Second way is to use FireFox with the HTTPFox add-on. This step is not shown in the video. It’s a bit tougher than the step shown in the video. Basically, you run HTTPFox and search for the .7z and .exe links then copy those links to your browser to start a direct download. I would recommend this step for experienced users.
