Moderators rridgely Posted July 20, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishmen Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 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 DVD Decrypter Easy CD-DA Extractor Eraser ERUNT Filemon for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 Folding@home for Windows NT/2000/XP Foxit PDF Reader HijackThis Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition Media Player Classic for Windows 2000/XP Microsoft ActiveSync Mozilla Firefox for Windows MSN Messenger for Windows Nero Burning Rom nLite NTREGOPT 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 Rainlendar Real Alternative Regmon for Windows NT/2000/XP RegSeeker RK Launcher SETI@home Spybot Search and Destroy SpywareBlaster SyncBack TMPGEnc Total Uninstall Ultimate Boot CD Full XMPEG Which is every application I have. Edit: I just went to Download.com wtf are they doing to that site.

Capman Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Give it time and filehippo might be a must. It is so simple and uncluttered, it has a future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard382 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 englishmen, what a wonderful site. Wish i had heard of it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted July 21, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishmen Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 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 that Filehippo has huge potential if it was only to enlarge its database of software and have tracking of programs updates as fileforum does.

Moderators rridgely Posted July 24, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishmen Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 wonder how trust worthy softpedia is. On some of their downloads they have a 100% spyware free gurantee. Curious if that can be trusted. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.

Eldmannen Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 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.
