Download IBM Lotus Symphony without registering

One of the main complaints we're hearing from readers about IBM's new office suite is that you have to register in order to download it. IBM released Lotus Symphony yesterday. The suite includes a word processor, spreadsheet application and PowerPoint clone. It's built on OpenOffice.org, but it has a look and feel all its own. And it's free, but you have to give away a lot of personal information in order to download Lotus Symphony from IBM's site.

Fortunately, it turns out that there are a few ways to download the program without first signing up. No, we're not talking about downloading it from a gray market BitTorrent tracker, although we're pretty sure that's another possibility.

Download the installer from Softpedia.
Try the direct download link for the Windows version.

If anyone has a good direct download link for the Linux version, let us know in the comments.

I tried IBM to download Lotus Symphony but what a pain. Not only do you have to sign up with all your info you then have to download via their downloader tool, and if you don't want to do that then HTTP download is 5kbs....are you kidding me--I have Cable! Several hours later you might try the software or like me you will stop and go on with your life!!!

I got mine from softpedia yesterday, and replaced open office with it, it just looks better. It's a bit slow though. Anyone having trouble with the superscript keyboard shortcut? Everytime I press ctrl+shift+p it opens the properties, doesn't superscript like help says it should.

I used the Download director option and the whole process took 25 minutes.
