The no-download problem is that websites such as Mturk would not allow tasks that require workers to download any sort of software or plug-in. Because Inquisit requires participants to download a plug-in, Mturk would not allow such experiment to be posted unless there are ways around it.

The region would be in the US, and participants would speak English. Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm very interested in any answer to this question. Also see this discussion of running [longer studies on mturk](http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/3486/how-to-use-mechanical-turk-for-longer-studies-i-e-30-minutes) and in particular this question on [where to post studies online to get participants](http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/3982/where-to-post-online-psychology-studies-for-participant-recruitment)

I'm voting to close this as too broad. I'm actually basing the vote on the question being phrased such that it presumes a positive answer, when it is quite possible the answer is and will remain negative.

@AliceD Am I missing something? I only see what's Craigslist suggestion, and I think it's fair to say that online data collection is moving away from downloads and towards JS/HTML5 solutions, so I don't see an answer coming.

@ChristianHummeluhr - Yeah you might be right. I will leave this to others to support though, it's not my field.

# Where to recruit paid participants for online Inquisit experiments?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-01-08)

My team and I are trying to use [Inquisit](http://www.millisecond.com/) for a reaction-time based experiment looking at attentional bias. However, with the no download policy on Mturk and CrowdFlower, we don't know a good site to recruit and pay subjects to participate in an experiment that requires a plug-in.

What's a good way or site to solve this problem?
