I was surfing the web the other night looking for an updated download and came across filehippo.com.

Eee Gads, I exclaimed, this is like an Aladdins Cave of useful software – I must write a little bit about this site on my blog as other people may find it useful too.

What is filehippo.com all about?

Well …. using their words (not mine) it’s goes something like this:

With FileHippo.com our aim is to provide you with the simplest method of downloading the newest versions of the best software – without the usual excessive popups or spyware and without the low quality software.

Features

* Only the best software, we focus on quality not quantity.
* Very fast servers with 100Mb connections, to make your downloads as fast as possible.
* We keep the old versions of programs, so if you update and don’t like the new version, you can always return to the old one.
* All software is 100% spyware and virus free.
* Filtering feature to allow you to only show Freeware and/or Non-beta software.
* Full support for resuming downloads and download managers.
* Change log and technical details for downloads.
* RSS feeds for all updates, categories and for individual programs.
* New European and US download servers

I’ve taken a cursory glance through the links on the homepage of FileHippo and discovered that some of the software I already use needs updating.

I have also discovered that some of the software archives also contain installers for Linux & Mac boxes in addition to the usual Windows ones – bonus!!

Here’s the link for your use:
