Hi @lptn,

Would you mind submitting a PR to fix this? I won't be able to resolve for a couple days / weeks unfortunately.

@stevebauman
Sorry, I use another package where this problem is fixed and currently don't have a time to fix this problem in this package

Ok -- would you mind linking that alternate package where this is fixed so that I have a reference point and can resolve it here for future developers?

Hmm -- this isn't broken at all. I've followed the steps directly in the readme and it works as expected. You simply need to register now to download the database, instead of being able to download it as a guest.
