In the course of the last few years, there have been a few great web sites that have stood out as trusted resources for downloading free software legally. Let me list the top 5 sites that offer this service, so you can use them as resource:
1. Tucows.com – tucows earned its reputation as one of the original free download sites. Now with over 40,000 software titles, it is a very dependable resource for free software with software reviews and ratings. It has minimal ads on the banner, but they are not distracting.

Now that more people have higher speed connections (Cable, DSL, Fiber), as of late, one would imagine that downloading a trial copy of Halo would be fast and steady. Well, not always. Instead of the person carefully watching their connectivity status while running their download, it is the group distributing the software, that is monitoring their bandwidth use.
