two days ago HddSurgery has changed the system, now you can't login anymore for firmware downloading if you are not registered with your data recovery company email address.
http://firmware.hddsurgery.com/login.php
Accounts with gmail/yahoo/yandex etc will not be accepted.
If you want to dowanload firmware with simple registration, you have to pay 1 EUR for each firmware download.

P.S.
I registered myself with my personal email on 29 July 2016, now they've deleted my account without any explanation.
I haven't received any message via email.
This is how they work, if one day they wake up thinking they want charge more money, they can delete your account without any explanation.

I read you alow only registrated users who share something with you.
i just allow proffesionals. You and I make our own groups.
i do not call you greede for asking something in return. You ask participation on your forim, I just ask for someone to identify him self. not to hide behind between xyz account and make robbots since we pay for every download. We made biggest Db on line. Many many people use it, I never asked anything in return. When hosting bill become to much, i had to reset so i can exclude robots from people.
Am I guilty for eclipse also?

I did re-register with this ...
Also ....
On my site / forum i do have a simple question - what is the name of this forum . That question alone allows me to "filter" 99% of the spambots.
Are you saying that bots and spam are able to reply to your questions about firmware and hard drives in general ? I don't think so.
I would say that even just one of those questions on your registration form is enought to filter out spam bot.
Also ... your firmware repository is NOT a forum.
Spam Bots are "spam" as they post "spam". On your repository there is nothing to post so there is noting to gain if a bot registers there ... of course they can download firmware but should be easy to limit to 1 or 2 files a day, etc ....
Don't see any reason for all of this apart from "pay us" to get firmware. Simple.
All the rest is just lame excuses.

You know I'm I'm just poking the bear with you because I know how sensitive you are when anyone says your tools are too expensive. Always fun to rile you up for a bit.

That code is the intellectual property of WD, Seagate, etc. To sell it is to profit from someone else's work. Donor Drives was pretty smart because they were charging only for the "service" to copy the code from a specific drive they had for sale and provide it to you (before they posted it all for free too). But, selling the code here will get you served with a legal notice fast.
I guess you don't have to worry about that stuff in some countries with more lax rules about copyright.
