The only problem is that it says 20 days trial for some reason. May be you could buy it for a few buck or so after the trial ends. I would like to know it too since I am thinking of getting this software as well.
As long as the hashes match, I see no problem with downloading it from the official website.
I included the hashes and my warning because I seem to recall that, at some point, there were versions of DT v3.47 floating around that included spyware, malware, or other nastiness. I also seem to recall that those versions were distributed by its creator, but I could be remembering things incorrectly. Either way, it's better to be safe than sorry. Check the file hashes after downloading to make sure your copy is legit. I've been using DT v3.47 for over ten years and never noticed a 20-day trial or anything like that. AFAIK, it's freeware.
