I use Google/ncr, local googles are biased.

And as you may know, I don't even use Google - at least, not directly :)

SB-Innovation - Google Search

I do know, just pointing out the NCR thing for those that do and didn't know about it

You can set a cookie too (ohnoes lost all of anon's respect now) to let it always use the default one automatically after going to ncr

having a large repository of genuine old program versions (not all of them are free) is the main feature of this site and that should be the theme/name of this thread ('Old program versions' for example)

'newer & better' may not be compatible with user views on ergonomics or compatible with a certain system configuration or simply may not have been cr*cked yet, so take your pick

I think it's only a place containing all what one needs, I mean i don't have to go to many sites to get some software plus filehippo's update tool. Its small size and really nice.

Bing,

(joke, Mos). It seems like no other alternative for un-evil Google type.

I often snatched older version of utorrent for cheating needs here at filehippo

**naughtydog** · 21.07.10, 12:31

there is the need for older apps lets say utorrent 1.6 or so when some private trackers try to ban some clients. Lets take the case of iLT for example, utorrent 2.0.2 wont work there but they accept utorrent 1.6 so need comes into play. I didn't know about "filepig" i must say and so thanks for pointing that out.

Topic of this thread is somehow deceiving you know?
