Here's to hoping Apple and Microsoft's respective App Stores will help kill parasitic download sites (CNET and MacUpdate especially).

- gommm 15y agoWhat is the problem of macupdate?
- 0x0x0x 15y agoThey used to: * list alpha/beta software as new releases, even without the dev's consent * re-list software as updated, even when no updates have occurred * the owner has on several occasions rewritten various app descriptions * re-wrote and misspelled one of my company names and ignored requests to change it * ban any form of in-app mature content based on "religious principles" IIRC * refused to list one of my apps because the owner didn't see the "utility" in in it, even though Apple and VersionTracker both happily hosted 500K D/Ls.. That comes from the corrospondence I've had with the owner over the years. He's generally been a giant asshole and we finally quit updating to them several years ago. It's always possible things have changed. edit: format
