This is the one I recommend as you can edit the colors used.
Highly recommend if you work primarily at night.

Based on what?
edit: I did just notice the "primary" download link for the English version points to CNET Download.com, and that site seems dubious (but did not "infect" my browser). The file itself is okay though. Still always better to use direct download links.

Redirects and all ads and stuff not a harmful one but annoying for sure

Checked the download page for a bit it´s baffling how one could get a browser infection from there.
Pretty sure the browser was already dragging something along and unlucky user misclicked somewhere badly.

That being said, i´d go for the portable links, not a fan of setup routines for 300 kb applications :D

+1, barebone minimum, excellent usability

That thing helped me hack (not in the bad sense of the word) p3d files when i hardly knew what a p3d file were :D

That's the one I use in Windows. In Linux I just use the hexedit program...
