Of course they're not. :-) But they're equivalent in ease. I'm not
speaking of a URL to the website which leaves you to navigate to the
download. I'm speaking of a URL directly to the download. You click on it
and the download dialog appears or the download page with the download
button and attendant instructions appear.

I don't like this either. I use a lot of shareware and have a lot of
registrations. I have a folder which I dedicate to storing registration
information and update announcements with provided URL's to downloads.
This seems to be the standard approach. I'm always informed by e-mail of
updates. Some even ask at the time of purchase if I'd like to be informed
of updates. Funny, I can't remember any ever offering, up front, to send
updates via e-mail. Good. :-)
