      You used to be able to download without signing up.

      Edit: Apparently not everyone is being asked to login like me now. I’m not sure if it’s a regional thing or maybe my VPN is triggering something?

          Really? Every time I visit, it asks me to sign in. Maybe it’s by region or something?

            Mind posting a screenshot?

            I can view opensubtitles.org click on a random title, click download, and a .zip containing an .nfo and .srt downloads no issue.

            Presumably that’s the old method; there’s also a ‘download (beta)’ button. It puts up a 20sec timer, then lets me click download and lists how much of my quota (1 of 10, not signed in) I’ve used.

            Supposed to remain free, just rate limited to 10/day.

              Sure. When I go to “opensubtitles.org” I get redirected to the login page. Here’s the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/bhGTeC1

              Edit: After I login, it works as you described, by the way. It’s not really a big deal; I was just surprised that it started happening since I hadn’t seen any mention of that change anywhere. I’m even more surprised that it isn’t happening to everyone.
