Whatever Happened To Download.com? Earn Cash Back On Stocks: Up To $5,000 Per Year https://www.silomarkets.com/logic Remember download.com? Back in the 2000s, download.com was the goto site to download any software or game. In fact, it was one of the most popular websites in the world, but ever since the 2010s, it’s only been downhill for download.com. At this point, they only pull in a mere 1% of the traffic that they used to. One of the main reasons for this shift is that modern computer users are a lot more techsavvy. They have no need to download software from a repository like download.com. They’d much rather just download the software from the official website. This trend was only accelerated by the fact that software from repositories often came with a lot of bloatware. Moreover, people don’t download anywhere near as much as they used to. Almost everything we need daily is available on browsers, so the need to download standalone software is far less. This video explains the rise and fall of download.com and why computers no longer have a central download repository.
