      Exceptions

      Well i certainly am non-profit and this was focused on education :)

      Is it binding if they dont force you to accept first?

        Exceptions

If you wish to retrieve files from www.fosshub.com using an automated 
+tool or script with the purpose of redistributing them on your intern
+al network, download server, download mirror, CDN or any other simila
+r service we might allow you to do this under the following condition
+s:

- Inform us about your intention before any attempt to interact with o
+ur website. If possible, provide us a sample of your code/tool to see
+ how it is designed to work with our system.

- If you are the representative of a school, University or any other e
+ducational institution.

- If you represent a non-profit organization focused on education, hea
+lth or any other worthy cause.

- A company that wishes to retrieve files from us but use its own repl
+ication system.

- Any other situation that wasn't added here but you consider it to be
+ an exception.

Important: We reserve the right to deny certain requests if we think t
+hat will abuse our service or cause any other issues. Also, we reserv
+e the legal right to request a financial compensation if you ignore o
+ur Terms of Service.

        I've no idea what Todd Chester is doing, but it seems as though they'd have a working download had they followed the steps outlined above.
