9 Best Websites To Download Free Softwares

I’m a big fan of downloading software’s and application and try something new by the end. This way, I keep finding some new thing and new apps which you might not have heard of. Today, I’m going to share list of websites from where you can download softwares and find some new one also.

Download Free Softwares

I’m not sharing sites, which let you download premium software for free, but you can use these websites to download open source alternative of paid apps. Like we have Open Office.org for Microsoft office alternative, we have GIMP as an alternative for Photoshop.

If you want to download multimedia softwares, we have Video Lan player, Windows media player, Real player and so on, selecting the best out of them depend on user’s personal choice. Though a review of software help up to understand the software and give more insight about it.

I would not suggest you to download software’s from Warez sites, reason being, most of time they come bundled up with viruses and malware, which tends to infect your Computer. Or install some toolbar, which will keep irritating you with weird pop-up’s.

I prefer these websites, because not only I get details about software but expert also review these app, and give their suggestions and feedback. Along with it, related software’s section will let you find more relevant software’s.
