Thought we needed a thread where members can post any cool download links. Post content such as: game addons, game demos, legal ebooks, legal music, freeware, shareware software, screensavers, desktop themes, skins, patches, service pack.

You cannot post the following:
-Warez [cracked/pirated software]
-Torrents
-Data that is not licenced to be publicly available on the Internet
-Self advetisement or promotional content - unless you have surpassed the 150 post guideline.

You must:
-Post links to direct specific software not sites in general as mentioned above.
-State whether the software you have posted is free or not. Make sure to state the price, if it does cost at all.
-Give a description of the link you post

Failure to comply with the guidelines will result in a post delete and a warning. Break the rules a second time and a report will be sent to an admin requesting an immediate suspension.

Also use this thread to request software.

Mailing me delicious chocolate pudding.

That was my first thought, but it would age over the amount of time it would take to mail out to you, and thus, you'd think I sent you one of my home-made "sausages".

drrty.

and nobody should have to use Gimp.  It's going to be like OLPC campaign, only not entirely botched: One Photoshop Per Child.

Yes, well, not many people pay for Photoshop, and the majority of Photoshop owners tend to download it illegally, and I don't know if posting torrents is legal here...

My employer keeps me in Adobe.  As for the manual, I've always been more of a learn-as-I-go type but the heftier manual you can buy separately is great.

Ubuntu is definitely worthy of being up there... since it's my native OS at work and home

This is rad, and i'll be putting these links to use.

Does anyone know of any sites to download movies right to the PS3 HDD similar to Stage6, or joox.net?

Hey Rael... can you add "9dragons" to the list of free games. It's a mmorpg, similar to WoW, but it's entirely free... and I dont feel like editing your post.
