I always recommend that users visit the developer’s site to download an app (if possible). This is one reason why.
If I end up at a link that goes to Download.com, I back out as quickly as I can. That site has been a nightmare for as long as I can remember. CNet generally is to be avoided.

Not really. They were one of the first tech news sites, but never, in my experience, exercised any level of journalistic integrity. First doesn’t equal best or even good.
Crap like that is why I haven’t touched CNet or Download (thanks for reminding me, Gadget!) in years.
