I want to know if these sites are safe and legit.

[Macstir]

Sorry, I'm new to the whole forum thing but I was just wondering if someone could tell me if these sites were safe. If you want to PLEASE name sites that you know to be safe. I would really appreciate it.

Versiontracker.com
metaquark.de
sourceforge.net
fadingred.com
telestream.com
rapidshare.com
macpaw.com

like I said I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me of the site are ok yo use or if I should find my apps on new sites.

Taking a look at the sites you mentioned, tells me, that they all seem okay, except Telestream from Portland of course ( ). In all seriousness, Rapidshare stands a bit out, but just because it can be used do upload and download files, and as the files are not administered by an administration, everyone can upload something, so you may never know what you get.

Thank you

Thank you for what you have said but the part about "everthing but telestream from Portland" what do you mean and. By what you have written in the first sentence of your reply. I'm guessing that you went to them? Can you help clear my confusion. And thanks for the links.

I just got up, so my English skills are still a bit sleeping. I meant to say, I visited all pages, and only Telestream I never visited before. I was being sarcastic, thus the to underline that. I can' t say if Telestream is to be trusted or not, as it claims to be an Internet Service Provider.
