Trouble downloading CLI for Linux

I'm having trouble downloading the ESX 5.1 CLI for Linux.  When I click on the download link I get an error saying the file is not avaiable.  I'm using the free ESX license, do you have to have a paid license to get the CLI?

Hello and welcome to the communities.

There were problems reported earlier with other downloads. Keep trying and hopefully it will work soon.

It's been several days and I'm unable to download the vSphere 5 or 5.1 vCLI packages.

Is it really hard to provide a download link without registering to your website?

I did registration but now: I can't download it because link doesn't work!!! I got super pissed off.

btw: why vmware team keep changing name of the products? What hepnend to esxi? why they decided to call it differently?

The direct link did not work for me either, but then I went to the search box, entered CLI, pressed search, et voila: Linux and Windows installers appeared ready to be downloaded.
