Ok, that explains what happens. Using a non-interactive tool such as
wget may not work here because of the CGI that creates the actual
download link.

Try this: Use Chrome, IE, Firefox or any other browser to download the
software to your workstation and then copy it to the target machine
unless you can run the browser on the target machine directly.

Or you could install one of elinks, links or lynx. These are test mode
browsers that can run in the terminal. You can install one of those on
your Radiator evaluation host and use text mode browser to access the
download link.

In any case you need to accept the license agreement before the actual
download link becomes available.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks!
Heikki
