Software Distribution Specialist : Publish Snipe Browser to 50–100 Download Directories (Multiple OS Editions) I need an experienced software distribution specialist to publish Snipe Browser across a minimum of 50 download directories, app stores, and software catalogues, targeting up to 100 live listings total. Snipe Browser has 6 distinct Windows editions and each must be matched to the correct platform on each site. Payment is for live, verified published listings only, not attempts, not pending, not rejections. If it is not live, it does not count. This is the administrative task of getting it in download directories, not coding itself. About the Software -------------------------------- Snipe Browser is a free, privacy-first Chromium 140 browser built on Ungoogled Chromium. It has zero Google telemetry, uBlock Origin compiled in by default, Ruffle (Flash) built in, a ~23MB idle footprint, and no forced updates or accounts. It is one of the only modern browsers with verified working builds across the full Windows range from XP through 11. Homepage and all download links: [login to view URL] The 6 Editions --------------------------- Each edition has its own installer and must be published as a distinct product where the site supports platform filtering. - Snipe Browser XP - Windows XP Professional x64 SP2 ([login to view URL] use the 392mb one click installer) - Snipe Browser 7 - Windows 7 SP1 x64 ( [login to view URL] - installer ) - Snipe Browser 8 - Windows 8.0 and 8.1 x64 ( [login to view URL] - installer) - Snipe Browser 9 - Windows 9 beta x64 ( [login to view URL] - installer / [login to view URL] for the OS) - Snipe Browser - Windows 10 and 11 x64 ( [login to view URL] ) - Snipe Browser 32-bit - Windows 10 and 11 x86 ( [login to view URL] ) Counting rule: Multiple editions live on one site count as individual listings toward the target. If you get all 6 editions published on OldApps, that counts as 6. The Task --------------- Publish the correct edition or editions to each site based on what that site supports and its audience Create and maintain a PAD file (Portable Application Description XML) for sites that require it Write accurate, non-spammy metadata for each listing - title, short description, long description, category, version, homepage URL, download URL, licence (freeware), and OS compatibility - Prioritise the performance and privacy angle in descriptions ( the key differentiators are uBlock built-in, zero telemetry, Flash restored via Ruffle, legacy OS support, and ~23MB idle RAM) - Do not use automated bulk publishing tools ( most sites detect and reject these and it damages listings) - Provide a running tracker updated throughout the project Categories to Use ------------------------------ Where the site offers category selection use: Web Browsers, Internet, Privacy Tools, or Utilities. For legacy-focused sites also flag: Legacy Support, Retro, or Lightweight. Deliverables -------------------- - CSV or Excel tracker with site name, URL of live listing, edition published, publication date, status, and account credentials where created - PAD file delivered at project close - Minimum 100 verified live published listings ( 50 unique sites ideally but some sites will have more than one listing) - All listings must use correct edition labelling and accurate download URLs pointing to [login to view URL] or [login to view URL] [login to view URL] for legacy versions) Requirements - Demonstrated experience publishing software to download directories - Familiarity with PAD file format - Ability to match software editions to appropriate platform sections on each site - No bulk publishing bots - Good written English for metadata Target Site List ------------------------- Mainstream / High Traffic ----------------------------------------- Softpedia ([login to view URL]) : multiple OS sections, publish all applicable editions MajorGeeks ([login to view URL]) : reviewed, high trust, essential FileHippo ([login to view URL]) : version tracking, mainstream audience [login to view URL] / CNET ([login to view URL]) : largest general audience Fileforum / BetaNews ([login to view URL]) : tech early adopters Neowin ([login to view URL]) : tech-savvy, privacy-aware audience Ghacks ([login to view URL]) : contact for editorial coverage alongside listing TechSpot Downloads ([login to view URL]) FileCluster ([login to view URL]) SnapFiles ([login to view URL]) Freeware / Open Source Focused ------------------------------------------------------ FreewareFiles ([login to view URL]) : freeware only, strong fit SourceForge ([login to view URL]) FileHorse ([login to view URL]) [login to view URL] Freebyte ([login to view URL]) Giveaway of the Day directory ([login to view URL]) FreewareHome ([login to view URL]) [login to view URL] software section Freeware Guide ([login to view URL]) Legacy / Retro / XP Focused OldApps ([login to view URL]) : publish all 6 editions, primary target OldVersion ([login to view URL]) : XP and 7 editions especially WinWorld ([login to view URL]) : legacy software archive community RetroZilla community forums and directories MSFN ([login to view URL]) : Windows legacy community, live thread counts Win-XP forums software section Vogons ([login to view URL]) : retro hardware community, live announcement thread counts Portable / Lightweight Focused ---------------------------------------------------- [login to view URL] : if a portable edition can be packaged LiberKey directory PenDriveApps [login to view URL] European / International Directories [login to view URL] : major German software directory [login to view URL] [login to view URL] software section Tucows ([login to view URL]) Logitheque ([login to view URL]) : French directory Softonic ([login to view URL]) : high traffic, international Uptodown ([login to view URL]) : large international reach Malavida ([login to view URL]) [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Privacy / Security Niche AlternativeTo ([login to view URL]) : list as alternative to Chrome, Firefox, and Edge [login to view URL] : put forward for inclusion on tools list Privacy Guides community ([login to view URL]) : live community listing counts [login to view URL] — put forward for inclusion Techlore community directories General Directories Soft32 ([login to view URL]) SoftSea ([login to view URL]) Download3000 ([login to view URL]) FindMySoft ([login to view URL]) Software Informer ([login to view URL]) Brothersoft (if still active) Winsite ([login to view URL]) FileBuzz ([login to view URL]) SoftLookup ([login to view URL]) [login to view URL] Freewareplanet Downloadplex ([login to view URL]) FileDD ([login to view URL]) Package Managers / App Stores Winget / Windows Package Manager : publish a manifest to the winget-pkgs GitHub repo Chocolatey ([login to view URL]) : community package, live package counts Scoop ([login to view URL]) : bucket submission, live package counts Ninite ([login to view URL]) : contact for inclusion consideration Microsoft Store : investigate eligibility for packaged app submission Community Directories ------------------------------------- Wilders Security Forums software section MalwareTips software recommendations [login to view URL] software directory Gizmo's Freeware / TechSupportAlert ([login to view URL]) : live listing counts Donation Coder ([login to view URL]) software section Notes for the Freelancer -------------------------------------- The Windows 9 edition covers an unreleased fan-completed beta OS.
