Purpose
Many sites (Download.com, Tucows, SourceForge, etc.) provide software downloads, some shareware, some freeware, some open-source. To create a search index or similar across these sites would be difficult, as there is no standard markup.
Many other sites index such downloads, selectively, without providing them directly, for example PricelessWare.
