List your favorite software download sites

[rock-n-roll]

Hi

Can you list your favorite sites to download software from? I'm looking for safe malware free sites where i can download the latest software from, like Download.com or Majorgeeks.com. Thanks for your help.

Major Geeks is the place. They don't like spyware and have a forum as well.

Nick ADSL UK is a big reason Major Geeks is a good place.

I also like to look at Webattack.com to see what's new.

1st:Major Geeks.
Then probably Snapfiles(formerly WebAttack.com).
Sofotex.com is good also.

I usually like to get my software from the developer's site, but MajorGeeks is also good. Some of the software that i use is hosted by sourceforge so i go there too.

this link below has links to alot of good sites that ive used and never got any malware from
http://www.freeware-guide.com/top15fws.html

and this (http://freewarearena.org/PHPNuke/index.php) site is also very good too. it also has the freeware book here (http://freewarearena.org/PHPNuke/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=18) which is a browser that only holds links to good freeware sites. also the links down the page abit (sites worth a visit), also see the screenshot, are good.

Take a look at
http://www.softpedia.com/
Great site !

For Freeware, also
http://www.freewarefiles.com/search.php?option=mostrecent

Hey rock-n-roll,

www.caiman.us/

and

www.pricelesswarehome.org/

the latter produces the results, as consensussed
by the members of Google - Groups - Alt.comp.freeware, which you might
find worth while for discussion of the best freeware available.

Regards.

I like majorgeeks and download.com as my preferred download sites.

Some light, useful, and system friendly utilities can be found at TinyApps.Org (http://www.tinyapps.org/).

I'll also say majorgeeks and download.com, but about past favourites like simtel.net - I think they were bought over by Speedbit (DAP guys) and their content went down. I guess tucows.com still has a lot of credibilty left.
BUT - I'd say GOOGLE is always the best place if u know what u want. Now I don't ned to go to any other site - google is like a giant web central station for me, switching me to a lotta stuff.

at the moment i love this (http://decentdownloads.x-istence.com/) site. if you take the time to have a good look at what they have, i hope you we be very pleased :)

MajorGeeks and Snapfiles here. Sometimes I visit http://sourceforge.net/
I only visit that site to look at source codes being that I'm a beginer programmer.
