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

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

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

    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.

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

    hehe yeah I can assume that... umm btw if I pay that fee for download.com, does any of you know if I have to repay it everytime I upgrade my app's version?

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

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

    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
