First, HeidiSQL is FREE and open to EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, provided the country that you live in doesn't block you from downloading it. If you have some sort of beef with your internet service provider, take it up with them. Anse, correct me if I'm wrong, but HeidiSQL isn't blocked on your end for anyone, is it? Also... jaigo, what do you mean "Cubans"? Are you saying that the residents of Cuba cannot download Heidi or all "cubans" all over the world? Please make yourself clear and be careful where you point your blaming finger.

Written by Dr. Dave 5 years ago 95 posts since Sun, 27 Jan 08	I think it is, Anse. That's why I tried mirroring the download for him. He hasn't responded whether it worked or not.
Written by Dr. Dave 5 years ago 95 posts since Sun, 27 Jan 08	Update: http://unpythonic.blogspot.com/2007/10/you-are-accessing-this-page-from.html I believe Google is doing that to comply with U.S. law (which they have to, since their servers are located in the U.S.) The U.S. has embargoed several countries including Iran: Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Iran, Sudan, and Myanmar/Burma is the current list AFAIK. Iraq used to be on the list, but now that Hussein's been overthrown, Iraq is off the U.S. embargo list.

You're welcome, but I also gave you a direct link for HeidiSQL off my site too. :P Anyway, glad you now have a solution.
Written by jaigo 5 years ago 4 posts since Sat, 26 Jul 08	I am also very happy to download and use HeidiSQL. Thanks again!

Written by ansgar 5 years ago 3950 posts since Fri, 07 Apr 06	Not a problem. As long as you don't ship a virus with the installer :)
Written by ansgar 5 years ago 3950 posts since Fri, 07 Apr 06	Just added a mirror link on the download page for the recommended downloads. Should be accessible everywhere in the world.
