Any help will be much appreciated with this thread. I'm pretty tired and offhand I can think of a bunch of sites software can be gotten from.

I'm going to start off with Software Sites that I have used to get installers for various things.


I'll be using the 2nd post of this thread to keep track of all the website lists and categories. Thanks ahead for all the help!

will be replacing this sticky in the near future: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261358

Paint.Net is NOT open source!

That's even when Paint.Net is listed in opensourcewindows.org.
