@DivinylsFan - You always have to careful when downloading from sites that offer advertisements too, but that is how to keep things free.
I clicked on the first link in my first post and clicked on the .nhd file to download. Under the DOWNLOAD button, I saw this notice:
The download button will start your download and show a message from our advertisers in a new window.
I use Brave for a browser and I don't allow ads, so all I got was the download - no ad in another window popped up.
Any of the big sites that you can download from can offer misleading clicks. I usually right click and see what the download link url really is.
I did also upload here, so you shouldn't have any problems with misleading clicks:
