Where can you get programs for free and legally? The best place is file stores. They have thousands of programs, which can be downloaded by anybody. I will introduce you to five popular file stores.
Why file stores is the best place to download files?
First of all, in file stores you can read software reviews and see their ratings. That way we will find out more about a program then from developers webpage. Second, we will download files faster.
Are all programs free?
No. Not all programs are free. The most are demo versions. We will able to use these programs only a limited time. When it expires, we will have to buy that program or uninstall it.
Tucows
“Tucows” is one of mostly known file stores. This webpage has more than 40 thousand programs for all computers. Every program has a rating and that is one of the best “Tucows” advantages. Every program can be downloaded from many places around the world, that's why download can be very fast.
Softpedia
Very impressive. This webpage has more than 90 thousand programs available to download and not only for your PC, but also for mobile phones. This file store has many reviews. And that's not all “Softpedia” advantages. We can easily find and download programs. Web page is very clear. You can comment and rate programs, but you can find ratings only for the most popular programs.
Download.com
“Download.com” is one of the oldest file stores. We can find many programs for PC, PsPC and mobile phones. This makes “Downlaod.com” very popular. Web page has good program reviews with comments of other internet users. In this file store you can always find hits and news lists. We will also find music, games and videos. A very bad thing for “Linux” users, that “Download.com” doesn't have software for this OS.
SnapFiles
Before 2004 year, this file store was called “WebAttack”. Now its name is “SnapFiles”. This file store is the only file store, which has freeware and shareware programs separated. It is good if you want only free programs. But on the other hand, “SnapFiles” is only for Windows OS users. No programs for “Linux” and other OS. Other bad thing is that we won't download files from “SnapFiles”. This webpage gives you links to developer's webpage. That means download won't be so fast as it could be.
Majorgeeks
“Major Geeks” every day offer you many new programs for Windows OS. New programs are added quickly. Programs descriptions are not so good as it could be, but the webpage is very clear. You won't get into trouble finding your wanted program. Visitors can vote for liked programs. File store lets you download files at fast speed, but there could be more programs to download.
