What does it take to get to the actual installer?

Genuine question. I have been in open source projects but this seems to be exceptional. I also donate to projects that have content that works. I installed DocToPdf, not needed, but hey, free s/w. Not good that it asks for entire web history and to modify browsers, which it did. But I'm now on the 5th attempted install and I still have no link to the actuall installer for FreeFileSync. I just get continued bumps to forced s/w installs. Help me out: is there a link to your installer?

If you go to https://freefilesync.org/download.php ,
ignore all the Ads with the big "Get started" and "Download now" buttons,
and simply click on either of the (text)links
* Download FreeFileSync 10.2 Windows Setup
* Download FreeFileSync 10.2 macOS
* Download FreeFileSync 10.2 Linux 64-bit
* Download FreeFileSync 10.2 Linux 32-bit
* Download FreeFileSync 10.2 Source
you should be fine.
It seems you let yourself be distracted by those big buttons,
luring you to download and install other stuff than FreeFileSync ...

Yes, thanks. You are right, distracted by the big shiny buttons. That'll learn me not to watch a film, have a beer and install s/w. One of the s/w comparison sites said it came with another install, so I wasn't surprised by the first one. Then it got stuck in an install loop, and I posted after rejecting the next four. For ref, these.
