The software providers are the ones that helps us to find the most interesting and useful programs for our needs. These websites are gigantic and full of resources and that’s the main reason for the competition between them. I’ve selected the top 10 of them for this year. Is almost impossible not to know them, but if it happens than I’m very proud to be the one from which you get to know them.
10. Top Downloads
Top Downloads.net is on 10th spot just because it has only a 28k Alexa rank and it is not that famous at the moment. One thing which I really appreciate at this website is that is very well structured and also has good stuff.
9. Software.com
The 9th spot is for Software.com. Even Software.com has the best possible domain for this type of activity, it is not as popular as expected. Although, Software.com has tons and tons of free cool software so you have where to choose from.
As the name suggests, Freeware Files website is based on providing free software.
7. FileHippo
With a very simple website structure, File Hippo manages to offer many applications for Developers and simple OS users in the coolest kind possible.
6. TuCows
Funny and unrelated name, but tons of HQ software files.
5. Download.com or Download.CNet.com
The download section of the famous CNet website which provides you tons of news and software related articles.
4. Soft32
Because of it’s name people think that Soft32 is based on providing only Windows software, but here you can find Linux, Mac and even Iphone software for free and paid.
3. BrotherSoft
One of the oldest websites which is based on providing all types of software.
2. Softpedia
Tons and tons of categorized software and projects for free and available for purchasing too. On softpedia you will be able to find latest news and tips about your favorite software.
1. Source Forge
Is the place where all web developers over the world collect their projects and that’s why, SourceForge is able to provide better and better software for people over the world.
These are most interesting and most well build websites for development and software.

Where did you get this information. As I know, the value of software websites should be considered in several aspects. It is hard to say who is the best unless get all these factors added together.
