This is not due, say, to a sudden increase in traffic (my traffic has more or less been pretty stable over some time now), no’r does it seem to be caused by any newly implemented changes in the site code itself (as far as I know there aren’t any). I am thus somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed in terms of getting this problem fixed. The people at my hosting company, Webuilders, have actually been rather patient and flexible in terms of communicating with me and managing this issue, but I still don’t know what to do…

I’ll figure out some sort of solution sooner or later I’m sure; I just wanted to let everybody know that this situation will hopefully be dealt with soon and in the meantime I apologize for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, check out my for a categorized list of software reviewed on Freewaregenius.

My mission: To replace as many retail/shareware software as I can with first rate FREEWARE alternatives, such that one day every installed program that I use will be FREE.

But this site will not list every single free program on the planet. Sometimes less is more!

I assume that for every category there are one or two programs that anybody would want to use. This site will present you with these handful of options, filtered and picked out.

If you have better things to do than scour the web for cracks, serials, and hacked copies of the software you use, then this site is for you, because the free software that is presented here is in most cases BETTER than anything you could pay for. 

I created this site because I enjoy finding, downloading and testing new software. I hope you will enjoy these programs too.

Notes on RATINGS and SELECTION:

• You will find that I only have 5-star and 4-star ratings for the software in this site. This is because anything less than that wouldn’t be posted in the first place.

• The selection criteria are my own, based on my actually using the program. I will not post something that I have not installed and tried out.

• Most of these are programs are Freeware (100% free). In RARE instances I might list something that is adware if there is no other option out there for that category, but only if the ads are innocuous and do not interfere with the user experience.

• I will almost never list any programs with partial functionality and/or nags that urge you to pay or upgrade to a more advanced pay version.

• Please do not post any serials for shareware programs here or anything that points to cracks or cracked versions of commercial/shareware software. Any such comments will be promptly removed.
