Need a new download site.

Have you been to download.com today? They changed their format and now its a pain to just browse through the mounds of crap progams that they have. Anyone know any other good sites? Of course I know about tucows,snapfiles, and zdnet.

Also do not tell me to go here :

http://forum.CCleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=1224

(I just had a feeling that might have been coming)

I would highly recommend Fileforum ever since I found it last year some time I have not been back to download.com once. It also keeps a track of all you favourite applications and email's you when there is a update.

My current tracked applications are:

7-Zip

Ad-aware SE Personal

America's Army

Autoruns

avast! Home

BitComet

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner)

DAEMON Tools

DriverHeaven Driver Cleaner Professional

Dup Detector

Media Player Classic for Windows 2000/XP

Microsoft ActiveSync

Mozilla Firefox for Windows

MSN Messenger for Windows

Nero Burning Rom

nLite

nVIDIA ForceWare Drivers for Windows 2000/XP

NVTweak (formerly Coolbits)

OpenOffice.org for Windows

PeerGuardian for Windows 2000/XP/2003

Picasa

Power Defragmenter

Process Explorer for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003

QuickTime Alternative

Have you been to download.com today?

Haven't been to download.com "download.com.com" for years since in my views it became crappy years ago, and I certainly won't download anything they host.

Thanks englishmen I like that site. They have better software than any other site I've been to.

dido, cheers mate

I'm glad you both like it, make sure you sign up as well to keep track of updates to your programs.

"download.com.com" download.com works without the extra .com :)

Give it time and filehippo might be a must.

It is so simple and uncluttered, it has a future.

"download.com.com" download.com works without the extra .com :)

Hmm oops B)

englishmen, what a wonderful site. Wish i had heard of it sooner. :D:D:D

Years ago it went from "download.com" to "download.com.com" and typing in download.com would take you to download.com.com, now they've reversed it. Someone on that site is smoking something.

http://www.softpedia.com/

I tried Softpedia a year or so ago and while its got a good collection of software I believe Fileforum beats it because of its clean white layout there for its not got a load of flash colours and buttons to load. Also the fact that you can track any number of applications and receive emails when there is a update makes it better. It is better then Dowload.com tho but then most sites are :D that Filehippo has huge potential if it was only to enlarge its database of software and have tracking of programs updates as fileforum does.

hey englishmen completly off topic but were did you get the litte penguin for your start bar. Could you send me a link or just pm how to get it. :)

I wonder how trust worthy softpedia is. On some of their downloads they have a 100% spyware free gurantee. Curious if that can be trusted.

Its actual a part of a theme I got from CrystalXp.Net it is the top one. Download it once downloaded extract it and open "Crystal dlb 2" then double click "Crystal dlb 2.msstyles".

I believe that Fileforum do not post software that contains spyware etc. Yet on softpedia why would you have the 100% spyware free guarantee on some apps and not others it implies that if it has not got 100% spyware free guarantee stamp on it does contain spyware.

I hate the sites that need to signup before you can download anything.

Good thing about download.com is that you dont need to signup, and it's pretty fast to download from.

Much of these "download sites" contains much crap like shareware, demos, trials. Software that only work for 30 days then either nags the hell out of you or stops working completly. Software that have limited functionality, example you can open files but not save them, or you can see the settings but you cant change them, etc.

My favourite site is SourceForge. It is not exactly a "download site", but atleast there i get software which is really free, fully functional, and which I can really trust.
