Title: Lokerz (Free Stuff-I dont think so)
Post by: Capt. Matt on October 17, 2009, 23:13:40: Link removed and don't work TJK

My friends say you can get free games at this site, But in my opinion Nothing is free, and if its too good to be true, it is.

Whats your take on this?

Post by: Minime on October 17, 2009, 23:16:44: well is it illegal or? Sounds to good if it's not, but I remember someone mentioned a site where you could get free programs legally, but they changed everyday.

Be wary of such sites. Some are just ways to collect information for SPAM lists.
I saw a Torrent site that offered free Ship Simulator Professional 2.0 for download. Torrent activity is monitored to catch illegal activity, so they offer an â€œanonymousâ€ service. Not a good idea!
Regards,
Marty

The site you are talking about is http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ I have been using it for many years, some cool programs pop up once in a while, and it is all legal, it is a way for companies to kinda advertise their product I guess.

That was "Give away of the day". It is a genuine site. I use it a lot. No problems with that (although some of the giveaways are rubbish). But occasionally there are some real gems! :thumbs:

Post by: TerryRussell on October 19, 2009, 00:52:01: Actually "Giveaway of the Day" is a site where you get software that is usally chargeable, for free. Software developers release their software their and you can register it but only on that day. They use this as a way to publicise their other software.

None of it is freeware or shareware. It is "real" paid-for software, for free.

They do give some really good stuff away. Read the reviews first, though. Sometimes it is not so good.

My wife introduced me to the site a couple of years ago. We both use it a lot.

Post by: Agent|Austin on October 19, 2009, 02:06:32: Terry, I agree, I always read the comments, sometimes it looks cool but doesn't preform as it says it does. But sometimes there is cool stuff!

Post by: TerryRussell on October 19, 2009, 14:59:27: Hi Austin.

Now they have a new review/rating system it may be better than the previous love it/hate it rating.

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ is the place if anyone is interested.

Today's one is an Excel add-on. It isn't of any interest to me today, but maybe tomorrow's one will be.

Post by: mvsmith on October 19, 2009, 15:54:47: Torrent offered PRO 2.0. You might not be able to use it, but they claimed you could get it.
