God, that sounds like a spam title, doesn't it?
Anyhow, a different thread is talking about the best free anti-virus apps, so I thought I would expand it to discuss favorite sites for finding free software. A couple of guidelines:
I am talking only about software that the author intended to be free - NOT cracks/warez/bootlegs/etc.
I am not talking about sites like Download.com and "get-ur-free-software-here.com" I envision this as being a meta-list of discussion forums where other users have listed their favorite software.
For example, here are my two favorites:
Bleeping Computer - Freeware Replacements For Common Commercial Apps (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/Freeware_replacements_for_common_commercial_apps-t3616.html)
AVS Forum - Free killer apps for your HTPC... (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=355128)
Anyone have a good one?
