Online Installers Suck!

What are Online Installers?

Consider this, you want to install a certain software (say Google Chrome), you go to its home page which says ‘Download’. You click on that link feeling you are downloading the installer setup. But when you run the file you realize that it starts to download other files which it will use to install the actual software. The irritating thing that you downloaded is an Offline Installer.

Here are few reasons why Online Installers suck:

Cannot Install Software Without Internet

If you are stuck at some place without an internet connection, you won’t be able to install the software if it has an Online Installer.

Extra TIME and bandwidth

Every time you want to reinstall the application, the Online Installer will re-download the entire thing, wasting time and bandwidth. Online Installers do not have features like download resume (unlike download managers and modern browsers like Firefox)

Crashes

Online Installers are prone to crashes, they aren’t as robust as Offline Installers.

No User benefit

Our mission is to get rid of Online Installers by providing users direct links to the software they want to install.

Here are some key features:

Direct links will be picked from the official site only. This will insure authenticity of the installer.

Download links will be provided as soon as the software becomes available for release.
