Has anyone tried to actually download a data set? It seems you have to register first. Is there any good reason why an open government initiative would need to require registration to access the actual data?
India Launches Beta Version of Its Data Site

Re: India Launches Beta Version of Its Data Site
#62This site is absolute trash, pretty much like anything else the NIC creates. I've tried to register using a dozen possible methods and there are all sorts of errors. Seriously, how hard is it to allow someone to create an account, beta or no beta? They have this ridiculous list of ways to sign up including Foursquare and PayPal and almost none of them work. Yes Paypal, really.
So after about 20 attempts I now have an account, but if I try to download a data set, it takes me to my profile page.
