Download link repository for common free (as in free beer) windows software.
Why? Because everytime I have to use Windows, installaling sofware is a chore, so I've decided to make a list.
By the way, if you want to contribute to the project, feel free to ask or send pull requests.
Oh, and don't worry about the license. Thanks to the WTFPL, you can do absolutely what you want with this list.
#Internet ##Web Browsers
###Firefox
###Opera
###Chrome
###Chromium
The download page isn't on the same domain as the project. It is however listed on chromium's website here.
###Internet Explorer
##Browser Plugins
###Flash
It is pretty hard to find the full installers for flash player. They are not directly linked on the download page : you need to search through the help to find them or else you will download a downloader (which requires an Internet connection) that will download and install flash.

Make sure you click to download the offline installer instead of clicking on the big and bright sourceforge download icon. The link you are looking for says "offline installer" and the font is smaller.
##Video Conference ###Skype
Skype too provides but hides a full installer. They cannot be accessed through the website but are hosted on skype's servers and the links are provided in the community forums.
