For ALL CNet lovers idea

by Quickmorays Sep 19, 2007 12:48AM PDT

I like the idea that Cnet catergorizes thier downloads as you browse them on the web. I have found that it's very profesional and makes it easy to find software for anyones needs. I myself have found that I follow Cnets idea and create folders in my downloads section exactly where you would find them on CNet. Although, I have found that Cnet changes the names of those catergories around. So I delete and make folders and believe me, it's a good 2 to 3 day job.

My idea is (if everyone or most like it) have Cnet create a download utility for thier site and automaticly creates folders as you would on Cnet and places those .exe files within the speciefied folder. I am not a software designer and if I was I would create on myself. I think it would be easier for ppl like me when downloading software.
I have lots of ideas for this download manager for Cnet, so if you have any questions or want to know my ideas, just ask.
So does anyone like the idea?

It doesn't worry me.

Since I save all my necessary downloaded .exe files to my own Dowloaded folder I sub-divide the folder as I need, not as Download.com categorizes them. So any changes Download.com makes doesn't affect me.

When I first started using PC's I learned how to use Windows own File Manager called Windows Explorer. It taught me a great deal about Windows in general, and how to manage my own files. Personally I believe using and understanding Windows Explorer is the one crucial skill that all new PC users should learn. That and "Right click everything",
