For those who frequently download software from the Internet, they would have a special web address that is often visited. Websites where can downloads free software on the internet are very many, but from the many, not all provide a complete collection, convenience, review or other attractive features. Here are 5 great websites where a variety of software can be downloaded for free on the internet.
We can get free software that often termed as Freeware from the following great sites. Freeware is a cheap alternative to paid software. One thing when downloading software, when you want to get free software that can be used fully; do not forget to look for the Freeware label.
Download.com (CNET)
Download.com is one of biggest download sites; it has a good collection of software for Windows, Mac, Mobile and Webware. Besides of the collection are very much, the site is also giving a clear category, and other advantages of the cnet is the review or a review from the Editor as well as giving good ratings from editors and users.
If you want to get Freeware software, be sure to select Free from the option price asked. One of the things that are less fun from this website is the number of ads (banners, flash) and a solid content of the website, so sometimes a little slow to get to the software download page.
Softpedia.com
This download website is in the second ranking after the magnitude of CNET, with a collection of software for Windows, Mac, Linux, Mobile, Gadgets and more. There also available download for script, which is very helpful to programmers like website developers. Like CNET, Softpedia also provides ratings from users for existing software.
The structure and appearance of the Softpedia is easier than cnet, besides of the existing collection of software for linux. Softpedia sometimes give free license to paid software, which is rarely performed any other download websites.
FileHippo.com
This site has a simple look, not a lot of advertising and specifically provides popular software for freeware and shareware / commercial (pay). Filehippo is focused on quality, not quantity. All software on FileHippo placed on their own servers, so the download relatively quickly.
Because the simple display, then the process of looking for software is very easy, and we can get popular software in every category. So for those who want to get popular software without having a lot of browsing, FileHippo is the right choice. Another plus is that we are still able to download previous versions of software.
Brothersoft.com
This download site is a software download site, for Windows, Mobile, Mac and the Web. Having a collection of more than 200,000 downloads. One thing that is less pleasing is the number of banners or ads on every page.
Brothersoft also does not much give reviews about the collection of software that feels less for those who want to know more before its review.
MajorGeeks.com
Is an alternative download site to Softpedia or CNET. Display is simpler and relatively fast loading. Software seems to focus specifically for windows.
One advantage of the majorgeeks is the presence of an alternative download location. So if the download fails or slow, we can change the location of other downloads.
From the five top download sites, usually the first one I chose is FileHippo, because it looks simple, not many ads and can go directly to popular software that we often use. The next alternative is to Softpedia.

- Snapfiles.com, windows software download site for freeware and shareware
