Well, I'm regularly go to Softpedia when looking spesific wares, they got almost all software that I need, from Adware to Freeware.
and also, what I like about that site are they have news section that filled with interesting news from around the globe.

http://www.softpedia.com

My personal favourites : http://www.sourceforge.net and http://www.cnet.com oh and http://www.freshmeat.com

Freshmeat and sourceforge are pretty much the same, with the same software (I think they work together) and cnet is pretty cool in trial software. Sourceforge is OPEN SOURCE ONLY and has more for Linux but a windows user can find his/her kicks there too.

I just search in the all-powerful Google. Just put in, for example 'freeware image editor -trial -demo' and I usually get what I am looking for.

I like http://sourceforge.net/ , it has alot of freeware and many sites use it as mirrors. Also, if you are just browsing for freeware you can look in catagoreys to find what might be helpfull for you. Download.com is good too, but if your computer crashes...... well that just annoying.

hmm i usually download things at download.com isn't cnet.com and download the same thing? i heard it once, anyway Google is the king xDU lol j/k why don't you try the P2P programs? like Ares that is "virus-free"

[emperor]

I think that the best is always download.com, anyway I like very much Tucows and Zdnet, too.
Tucows

Tucows, Cnet, Sourceforge for open source community programs... and Softonic (this one not in english, sorry)
