Dropbox for downloading the guide—is there another way? #60

The message we show on the site before redirecting to Dropbox is better than what we had before. Can we help IRGI move away from Dropbox altogether? It’s not just that the download is large—it also requires a Dropbox account.

It looks like Dropbox is just recommending people sign up, but it's still confusing. There should be a way of adding a query parameter to turn this into a direct download, potentially by adding dl=0. We''ll have to look into it more

It looks like if we change ?dl=0 to ?dl=1 in that link it downloads automatically which should fix this
