What's so good about this site that hasn't been done asquillon times before?

Windows only, no descriptions. If I know the name of the software, why not just use Google?

And yeah, this has been done before. Better.

For all you complainers: What do you expect? A free steak dinner? Sheesh.

I expect at least descriptions.

Also, Pricelessware is a useful resource.

Windows only, no descriptions.

There were a number of sites which specialized in Mac share/freeware, but OS X forced many admins to drop support of legacy systems. VersionTracker, Tucows, and MacUpdate still carry the torch, while Freemacware and others are OS X centric. Those truly nostalgic for the old ways can visit the Beagle Brothers Museum, though the listed programs aren't available for download.

I'd be worried about downloading software from an unknown source. Could be infected by spyware, or something.

C'mon, 400 links to anything without descriptions is just noise.

For those seaching for Macware, Hyperjeff has a great database, searchable by license (free, share, demo, etc.), kind (Aqua, Carbon, Unix, etc.), and type (audio, video, business...).

And, yes, there are descriptions.
