any sites that let you upload your freeware app for free?

[MrPolite]

download.com apparently charges some $80 for listing a product. Is there any famous websites that let you list your app for free?

Not sure on Fileplanet's policy, could give them a try.

Try Softotex.com-they have freeware listing, free to list a freeware app.

At my Babya Software Group website, if you register first for a free account, you can submit download listings in the downloads section link

the listing fee im sure is used to keep casual script kiddie stuff out

[aafuss]

Disadvantages non-shareware authors, as freeware should bear no cost for a listing-maybe, contact CNET ask siggest a no-cost listing for freeware authors.

[BrianS]

CNet doesnt care.

i think it saves them a huge headache by having the listing fee, and they took note as soon as they implemented it

kasracer, sourcefourge charges too, I think. Do you HAVE TO put your source code up there?:D

[Kasracer]

I don't think sourceforge charges.... but if it's freeware, why not put up the source?

planet-source-code.com umm I dont want to put the source code... I just wnat to put it up as freeware and let people donate $5 IF THEY WANT:D:D:D
I dont know why, but I really don;t like sharing my sourcecode hehe

[dis1411]

the reason for not putting up source is
1 - like polite said people could donate
2 - giving it for free is a good way of seeing traffic/testing whether or not you could get away with charging
