Hard to come up with another interesting one, but hey... let's try it with Tinyapps.org -especially the 'File' category, so cute..

No matter which freeware site i go to, i always upload or check via VT browser extension before "igniting" the app.

My favourites go-to's are:

Snapfiles

Speaking of Snapfiles they seem to be having issues.  No DNS record etc..  Anyone know if they went dead door nail?

This looks like an alternative to Ninite (and  Chocolatey) for those who are installing on multiple machines.  Slant has a little review of the site, and likes the idea that it is doable simply from the browser.  Oh, this actually uses Chocolatey.

I didn't notice this before... pretty cool!  I compared it to running Chocolatey manually, and it appears that it's just a click-once wrapper around the command line commands.

Snapfiles is back

They still are my #1 choice, generally, when not downloading from the programmer/company site.

I see now why I did not get the message you did about the hardware failure.  I was clicking a speed dial that went directly to the new rdownloads page, generating a 404 error.  It is easy to forget the fundamentals when using all these shortcuts and gimmicks.  I always liked Snapfiles too.

another one that might be worth consideration, though probably not strictly a freeware site

Alternative To offers alternative solutions to a lot of mainstream apps

And don't forget Similar SItes, and others:

Alternatives to AlternativeTo

I do use these quite a bit, Slant is good in how they rate and describe.
