Good download site
Well it's hard to get around download.com. It's pretty great. However there's still somewhat bad downloads and feature presentations instead of the most relevant programs.

A Safe place to download, no viruses.
That alone is enough to give this site 5 stars...
But it also offers reviews, news, videos & more.

I use download.com all the time!
I mainly use it to look for new exciting programs for my laptop or just reading about reviews of different programs. They have a lot of users who review programs for the computer and also they have their own staff reviewing.
You can always find almost any program out there and download it from download.com and try the demo version, very useful!

Companies can ask for reviews via automatic invitations. Labeled Verified, they’re about genuine experiences.

We use dedicated people and clever technology to safeguard our platform. Find out how we combat fake reviews.
Learn about Trustpilot’s review process.
Here are 8 tips for writing great reviews.
Verification can help ensure real people are writing the reviews you read on Trustpilot.
Offering incentives for reviews or asking for them selectively can bias the TrustScore, which goes against our guidelines.
