For me it is too late. SF used to be the place I looked first. Recently I wanted to download windirstat and could only find it hosted on SF so I opted instead to LiveCD and just use some gnu tool.
- loganabbott 10y agoSorry to hear that. We would love to have you back at some point. I know it takes time to rebuild trust but hopefully people will see we are serious about it with the steps we have taken.
- 5ilv3r 10y agoI wanted to come up with a nice snarky counterpoint, but figured I should go have a look first. The new landing page looks nice, and it no longer looks like a download.com clone packed with adware. Good job. Request: Stop making javascript only pages. I browse with noscript enabled and I noted most of the 'new' things use javascript loaders, so I can't see them. This will help regain the trust of privacy loving users.

- 5ilv3r 10y agoQuite right. It's just like css. It may enhance a page, but pages should always fail back gracefully to basic content if a user cannot support it.
- StevePerkins 10y agoWinDirStat has hosted binaries on FossHub as well as SF for quite awhile now (http://windirstat.info/download.html http://windirstat.info/download.html). Also, there are dozens of similar alternatives (http://alternativeto.net/software/windirstat/ http://alternativeto.net/software/windirstat/). You downloaded a Linux distribution, burned it to CD/USB, and went through a full reboot... to figure out which directories on your Windows PC had a lot of files in them? Wat?
