Post subject: | No more Download.com! |
Please, stop upgrading us via Download.com. If there's a new update, link us to a page that has download URL for existing users. Don't make us nav to Download.com The next time I am given a Download.com link in order to update XWidget I will just uninstall XWidget. There are few web sites as evil on the Internet as Download.com Believe me, I used to be an independent software developer distributing my apps on Download.com. I understand the marketing advantage of eyeballs there. Do that for new users, don't punish existing users. Download.com has changed. While doing an update of XWidget today I was prompted to approve junkware, with a VERY long pause between each Decline, not twice, not three times but about SIX TIMES!! And even after declining them all, after XWidgets completed, I was prompted AGAIN to approve junkware, with no titlebar or any warning, it was all meticulously arranged to look like YOUR product. Not once, but TWICE!! @XWidget, if you can reassure me you'll stop using Download.com, I'll send you $10, just give me a PayPal link. (Mind you, it won't be till May 1.) I hardly even use your product, I'm just fuming mad at Download.com and I'm mad at the people who make the software I choose to install on my computer being so callous as to use Download.com. |
