Why Use Download Software Sites?
2012 Best Software Download Site Comparisons and Reviews
Software download sites serve one purpose: aggregate and provide downloads to software. However, the download websites have a variety of ways to obtain, organize and distribute the software. Many software download websites accept developer submissions, and others seek out their own relationships and listings with developers. Some of the download sites also have editor and user reviews and rankings.
Looking for software online can be overwhelming. The large selection of software, muddled with ads and search engine listings, can make it nearly impossible to find what you are looking for. This is why some of the best download sites will allow you to search by category, name and rankings of software. For the best software download sites, be sure to check out Download.com, Brothersoft.com and Tucows.com. For more information, be sure to check out our articles on software download websites.

Each different download software website varies slightly. Some have more software than others and some are easier to navigate. However, in order to find the best website we scoured the web and tested all different types of download sites and ranked them on a few different categories.
Software Categories
Not all the software listed on these download sites is free. Usually, the site has three types of different downloads: freeware, trialware and retail software. Most of the download sites we looked at also have a variety of different supported platforms, including Windows, Mac, iPad apps, iPhone apps, Blackberry apps and Android apps. Some of the download sites also support Linux software.
We use this section to review all the different types and selections of software offered by each software download site. We review how software is submitted and the process it takes to post a download to the website.
Site Organization
Many software download websites have hundreds of thousands of applications available for download. There are also drivers, widgets and a variety of other aspects to the websites. All the information can become overwhelming for the consumer. We use this section to test and review how simple it is to navigate the site and find the downloads you need. We test the search box performance as well as the other category search options.
Security
The very nature of software download sites is somewhat dangerous, which is why you need to find a website that can guarantee security. For this section we look at the virus and malware protection offered by the websites. We also read the user forums to follow the experiences of other users.
Help & Support
Most software download websites are extremely intuitive so you shouldn’t have any difficulties finding and downloading software. However, if you do encounter any issues with download or payment, you may need to contact the owner of the site. In this section we review all the different customer service options offered by the different sites.
A software download website is a fantastic way to quickly find the best software, read user and expert reviews and easily download applications. No matter the type of computer or the type of software, you’re bound to find all the applications you need on one of the software download sites.
