I downloaded this...seems like an OK kind of thing to get some free downloads just for the sake of a few ads. But, and I don't think this was just my connection as I was on a fast wi-fi connection, the program was SOOO slow. Opening a new catalog it took about 2 minutes to fully display all the contents.

Im not adverse to adverts at all so long as they arent the focal point of the product...
