    Hello,
    I am thinking of starting a small site for software download (something like www.soft32.com). Can you suggest me a good CMS for that type of website?

    Thanks,

    Simple answer, there is nothing freely available. The closest available solution would be the PADKIT system availiable from the Association of Shareware Professionals (www.asp-shareware.org). The site I run (see my sig) is custom written with a few starting ideas gleaned from the very simple padkit setup.

    I do know the guy behind www.filecart.com is willing to sell his script technology, but I wouldn't expect it to be cheap.

    Hey mnemtsas,
    I liked your site as well (the one in your signature)
    Can you let me know the details/pricing for the script technology behind filecart ?

    I am also interested to know the pricing for custom script on your domain.

    Regards,
