    Question SourceForge Alternatives

    I'm working on a Visual Basic project and I want to put it on a SourceForge-like website to aid distribution when the time comes.

    While it will be freeware, I'm not ready to make it open source, though in the future I may well do. This means that I cannot publish my program on SourceForge - OSS only.

    So, what alternatives are there for distibuting freeware software, with no costs involved?

    Cheers,
    Kez.

    Edit: Well slap my thighs this might be better off in Programming/Web Development!

    Says they prefer open source, but don't think it's a requirement.

    I've seen that, but my software is not open source, unix based, or cross platform, so I reckon it'd be a bit out of place!

    Cheers though.

    download.com has a $79 "processing fee" but I'll examine the others more closely, cheers.

    The application is a network monitoring tool - it checks servers, printers, routers & websites and reports back on their status. Once it's finished it'll be good for diagnosing LAN problems. It's aimed at medium to large size LAN's.
