Can't download the Renesas bootloader

So I go to their site, but the flash programmer requires that you 'log in to download'. Ok, so I give them a whole bunch of my personal information they don't need just so I can have an account in order to download. Then I'm waiting for a confirmation email to verify the account. It never comes (no, it's not in Spam, or All mail). So I try to contact Renesas support, but I can't do that because it redirects me to a login page before I can lodge a ticket.

So... is that it? The Renesas flash programmer is functionally unavailable, and with it bootloading on the Minima is broken? Anyone else having this problem? Why for the love of God, can't they just let you download it via a link without having to have an account?

So frustrating. If anyone has any ideas about how to get a hold of this flash programmer, I'm all ears, but as it is, I'm stuck with a bricked Minima.

I tried a gmail address and it worked. Aparrently it doesn't like me using my normal email address that comes through my domain. I hate websites that make you jump through hoops like this just to download a FREE tool. Forced to make an account and give street address and phone number, come on guys, you don't think I'm going to give you my real data, do you?
