* Any major download site, such as Download.com, Softpedia.com, and MajorGeeks.com.

Moved to lounge

But would have likely had Majorgeeks mentioned first and left off Download.com and Softpedia.com (debatable still on their testing of all apps they list)

Download.com via Site Advisor

Softpedia.com via Site Advisor

Majorgeeks.com via Site Advisor

While likely % of downloads tested are different, the things found speak volumes.
