Goals

• Users: find and download the best software easier and faster
• Customers: efficiently purchase, maintain, and upgrade software at lower cost with confidence
• Authors: attain more Users and Customers according to quality of products

DownloadFAST.com was created to fill a void in the distribution of download software.  What is the most intelligient process for finding and downloading software?  Other major download sites are focused on driving page hits to increase advertising revenues (a dying business model), regardless of whether the needs of users, customers, and authors are being sacrificed.  How can a user intelligiently and quickly find the best download software among the 1000s of titles?  How can a customer be assured when purchasing from software authors they've never heard of, who have web sites of variable design?  How can an author with quality products get recognized by users and customers?

DownloadFAST.com was created to grow the market for download software into a serious, more efficient method of software distribution.  This growth is driven by numerous advantages for users, customers, and authors, over retail and bundling software distribution.  Authors who are selling more software, are able to fund development of better software, which benefits users.  Increased sales volume generates lower prices for customers.  Retail outlets shelf-space, and bundles physical size, limits distribution to only a few software titles in each category (often not the best software).  Download software has no such limits.  There are billions of users, millions of customers, and thousands of talented authors (programmers) on this planet.

Mankind is only beginning to unlock the potential of the computer.  And download software distribution can help accelerate this process.  Our slogan is, "load intelligence", because a computer is only as intelligient as the quality of the software loaded inside.
