Download Sites

TUCOWS - Uses a system of affiliated sites around the world to ensure quicker downloads. Not too well organized, however, and short on descriptions of programs. (http://www.tucows.com)

Download.com - Large, non-specialized site with simple layout organized by categories ranging from business, education, and development tools through Internet, games, and home/personal. Features a front-page section of news and updates as well as reviews and tips. (http://www.download.com)

JUMBO - Not for the timid. This site boasts over 300,000 shareware and freeware programs in a multitude of categories, including several feature categories (games, multimedia, etc.) and a search engine to find your program. (http://www.jumbo.com)

Builder.com - Primarily a site for advanced amateur web designers featuring tips, tools, and reviews, this site also has a large collection of software tucked away on a separate, searchable page. (http://www.builder.com)

Oldversion.com - A site with older versions of some popular programs (AIM, Winamp, Eudora, IE, etc. . .) that are now freeware. The software it provides is limited, but as they say, "newer is not always better." (http://www.oldversion.com/)
