 ah. from what i recall, that can be solved by creating a qq account.
there does exist a baidu downloader for linux.... or something called
"Baidu Exporter":

 i have received a copy of the SDK (via a different route) - the
problem is that it took a *month* of retries to extract it out of
china, and every single copy has file corruption.  the last corrupted
version was only corrupted right at the end, meaning that i have
alllmost everything needed...

 ... what i'd like to be able to confirm is, before getting back to
allwinner, whether it's *their* file that's corrupted or whether the
process of extraction of the file from china is the likely cause.

 therefore if someone else can obtain the file and verify its
integrity, that would be very useful.
