Great Download Sites

Great Download Sites

In my opinion the following sites are some of the best in existence for downloading software.

Top 20

http://downloads.nettop20.com/

this site tracks the best download sites, and has links to the top 20 downloads from all the best download sites..

So it is a one stop shop for the best downloads, or at least that is its mission.
another site with the same mission is, however it is not as slick looking at Top 20.

http://www.inntechserver.com/top_download_sites.htm

They both have links to what they consider the best download sites, but I have only listed what I consider the best in my list. Or if I tryed them and they showed any annoying pop ups or gross advertising, or if they are just plain confusing, with illegable multicoloured 8 point text for example (yuck!!!), I have excluded them from my list.
OK, lets see only seven sites made it to my list, but they are good.

CNET's Download.Com

http://download.com.com/

this is one of the grand daddy sites, if you do a search on SANDRA you will find that it has been downloaded from CNET alone a total of 2,713,659 times.
A basic way to use it is to monitor the specific category of interest, and click on most popular, new releases or our picks categories. Definately worth a look if you have not checked it out.

Another site worth checking out is Ziff nets essential downloads site at:

http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/

check their dazzling downloads, most popular and most talked about sections for pointers on where the latest greatest software is.
