i quit using filehippo because they have started doling out filehippo installers instead of the actual .exe file :mad:

p.s. : the new look seems more tablet / touch friendly to me...i.m.h.o. :)

You can do the same for CNET and Softonic. But Sofpedia, Snapfiles haven't gone with bundled installers, and Softpedia's collection is massive, well categorized and the reviews are outstanding.

They are rolling it out slowly for all products. And those dev's that have requested FileHippo not to bundle their softwares, those products will not have FileHippo installer option. It works the same way at CNET too.
