I am unsure what you mean by, "from blogspot or from Julio", Benoît. If 
by, "Julio", you mean the author/application page in the Application 
Repository, then, no, that is not where the ads are.

Take, for example, the page at:
http://jsbsan.blogspot.com.es/2012/05/arduino-y-gambas3-lectura-y-graficos-de.html

The link for "Programa en Gambas3 (Nueva versión 2)" is 
http://5d346c06.linkbucks.com/ (hope you get lots of clicks from that 
Julio!)

Click the link, and an ad pops up in a new tab. You have to wait for the 
ad to load, then you can click, "SKIP THIS AD". When you do that, yet 
another ad pops up in another new tab. Closing the latest new tab 
reveals the download dialog in the first ad tab.

I suppose going through this is not too much trouble to help support a 
fellow coder. It's just that I find it somewhat, annoying; especially 
when some of the ads try to be deceptive with, "Your download is ready."


And, as I said, "If it bothers no one else..." :-)

Regards,
T. Lee
