The problem is the download link on your page takes us to this page: Which looks exactly as per Setve’s graphic post above, and I end up there from a number of different directions. I was not saying that I end up with a search page. You should immediately run a thorough scan for viruses and other malware using up to date, reputable, anti-malware software. There is more information about browser hijacking on Wikipedia: Another common reason is to redirect the browser to other malware sites. Usually the purpose of this is so that the creator of the malware can then claim advertising revenue from the sites that it redirects to.

How that works is that the malware intercepts the URL that you enter, and redirects the browser to a different URL.

I’ve seen this kind of thing happen with “browser toolbar” add-ons. If your web browser does not go to that address when you click on the link, then there is a problem with your web browser.Ī likely explanation is that your web browser has been hijacked by a virus or other malware. That is the correct web address (“URL”) for the manual download page (as shown in the screen capture). Please note that is the same address that is shown in the screen capture that I posted (and the same address that Gale posted). Individual Linux distros may change Audacity as they see fit and we have no control over that. Note that Audacity only supplies source code for Linux. If you think it goes to a search page, please tell us exactly where you obtained Audacity from, what distribution of Linux you are using, and please attach a screen shot of what you are seeing. Using Audacity built from our source code, it goes to the address above. I have just tried it again and still no success. This is what I meant when I said try it and you will see - try and follow the link to a file you can actually download. I have been to that page from a number of different directions, but as royleith said in the beginning, when we click on the link that says Download the zipped manual “the web page links to a Google search page that reports Google as not supporting Audacity downloads any more.” Yes Steve, thanks for that, but I’m sorry if I have not made myself clear.
