I'll go with the small red download button in the middle.
It could be the very bottom one, but it probably says advertisement under that and it's just been cropped out.
But even the correct button is likely to launch you into a popup to try and get you to download a "downloader" of some description, as if that's not literally the sole function of a fucking web browser, and then suddenly you've been taken to livejasmin.com or a sketchy gambling site targetted at Asians.
Same, small red one in the middle makes the most sense if it is one of those buttons at all
None of them.
I don't see the tiny blue link, so probably none.
As a millenial: i have no idea. I haven't seen ads on a download page in such a long time. Really takes me back...
It's still prevalent, even with uBlock, if you try to pirate from direct-download sites.
Adblock, also if you're not sure you can inspect element
My grandma told me to click them all until one works.
Kobiyashi Maru it
None of them.
The bottom one downloads malware.
The rest of them are the malware itself if you dare to click.
This is why they said "you wouldn't download a movie." Because it's a risky click.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
As an early Z - I certainly didn't expect so many people here to struggle with it so much.
The most plain looking one, or the one left after AdBlock has hidden all the rest. Or depending on the site and how far into it you've clicked, potentially none of them because it'll start automatically after a few moments in some places.
I'd say you'd have to click the file name to download the file.
The real download link is loading.
