Why is monero website using https but when you click to download the command line wallet you get a warning from the browser that the site is not safe? You end up having to click through warnings to get to the downloads?

Also, how do I verify that my download is the correct one and hasn't been messed with?

Thanks,

Glenn

    Seems to be https here, along with the download link. Sure you have the right website? getmonero.org/downloads? To check, verify the hashes. THe one from the site and one of the actually download.

https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/ uses HTTPS. The links on that page going to the actual downloads appear to be HTTPS as well. If there is one or several which is/are not, post the actual links as well as where they appear.

The site uses HSTS:

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=15552000; includeSubDomains; preload

So your browser should not access it via HTTP if it's already accessed it and spotted the HSTS header.

You might be using the wrong website, such as monero.org, a well known squatter.
