Because that is the first place I always look for new software :-)

That is fine when Aminet is actually working, I tried to get something from
there at the weekend and they had all the usual server errors.
Unfortunately Aminet seems very unreliable these days :-(

SF is an absolutely dreadful site, only those developing would ever visit
it. Every time I do get something from SF I get sent in circles, there is
never a direct link straight to the archive. I just hate the way SF is so
bloated and very difficult to navigate. Why use a Linux site fior Amiga
software in the first place ?

Wouldn't it be better to just distribute an archive for each version.
Someone needing an OS4 version does not need to download a Morphos or 68k
version. Same goes both ways.

People on dial up will not thank you for making them download a lot of data
they don't need nor want. Please seperate the different versions to make
downloading more efficient. 

Same for YAM, how about having archives with just each executable, how many
times do people need to download exactly the same image set with every
update. At least have the images as a seperate archive :-)



Regards,

Bill.
