Do you download softwares online There are tons of softwares available online, some of them are free and some of them are not free. Do you download the softwares online. I do a lot. But some time I have even a big number of softwares which I cant even test. What about your experiences.

every one will do the download, but at last mess up with some problems.. go for online download if it necessary... check the comments and reviews before downloading.. and also check whether it will bring any hazards to the system.. try to stop the wscript.exe from processors before accessing the download sites

I downloaded everything for free from internet. I downloaded software, movies, songs, pictures and e-books. All for free Internet for me is a place to get everything for free. If I couldn't get it for free, then I prefer to buy it offline. However, I don't download much. I only download them only if I need them. Songs is the most I have downloaded. There is always new song everyday and I get it for free.
