However, all this being as it is, the real kicker is that Driver Guide doesn’t force this on non-Windows users. All you have to do is change your browser’s user agent string, which for Firefox can be accomplished through an extension like Override User Agent. If you switch your user agent to a search bot, Safari (which changes the OS to OS X), or a mobile device, the checkbox is gone, and the site magically will let you download your file directly.
[EDIT 02/18/2015 This workaround no longer works.]

I think we should go back through older threads now and collect the files they were looking for, and submit to VogonsDrivers. 😀
PS. Thanks to Lord_Nightmare for the head's up.
