New european website for freeware

There is a new site for downloading freeware and even shareware and retail software. It's based in Spain and according to 'The Register' (techie types will have used it for latest techie news, https://www.theregister.com) it's already Europe's largest download site so you shouldn't get any uninvited guests with your downloads. It's at https://www.en.softonic.com

I've tried it and it's got a fast search to find what you want (although it sometimes comes up with some odd results) and blindingly fast download speeds.

If you are looking for some software give it a try.
Nice to save.

  • Hi BlueVenny,

    This is Tomas from Softonic. Thanks for recommending us.

    Since we're trying to improve, we'd like to know searching which terms you get odd results.

    Thanks in advance,
