The tucows site is one of the earliest sites for downloading programs that are called freeware and shareware. I suggest reading the information for new visitors at http://www.tucows.com/about/new for a good description of what the site is and how it works. I think I would use it more than the c/net downloads site as it appears to me to be more user friendly. I would also recommend the articles found at http://editorial.tucows.com/blog/CurrentContentArticles. They're easy reading and informative.
