errr... no, you just need to register an account. I think you clicked a link for 'Prime' members, that's their paid service faster downloads, articles, etc.

The problem was I didn't think the "Download now »" text was a link for me to download it, since the one above it wasn't. I was expecting the link below it, but it just had some text saying I can get it, but could get it faster if I payed them, then the next bit gave a link for me to pay them.
