You must be a registered member to add files to FreewareBB: REGISTER HERE.

METHOD 1 (PAD File Submission):
(NOTE: Although FreewareBB does not currently accept PAD file submissions, if you have a PAD file, please reply to the personal message you will receive after registering and validating and include the PAD file URL in your message.   We will extract the information from it and process it in the normal way.   We are planning to introduce proper PAD file submissions in the first half of next year - 2012)

If you are the developer of any freeware we currently list here on FreewareBB and wish to claim ownership and editing rights, please see THIS TOPIC for more info on how to do that.

METHOD 2 (Manual Submission):
Here's the quick-start way of adding a download to our site manually:
1. From the complete category view of the download section HERE, navigate to the most appropriate category and sub-category for your submission,
2. Hit the "Upload File" button,
3. Enter the details of your freeware (i.e. Title, description, direct link to the download, screenshot, etc),
4. Note that you can enter a link to your own site for the download and screenshot or if your file is 5Mb or less you can upload it to our servers; you can also enter or upload more than one download location (mirrors, etc) as well as offer more than one screenshot,
5. Once done, hit the "Add Submission" button and your freeware will be checked by a member of staff before being approved.

PLEASE ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO USE DIRECT LINKS TO FILES (i.e. www.somesite.com/somefile.zip)

We can alternatively host your file for you free of charge if you are unable to provide a direct link or your file is too big to be uploaded to the site, and in this case please contact me once you have registered.

Once you've given the necessary details, simply hit the "Add Submission" button and details of your file will be sent to a member of staff to authorize - this can take up to 24 hours though is usually much faster.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES BEFORE SUBMITTING
1. DUPLICATES: Please search for your software on our site before submitting it - if you find it, contact a member of staff and we can transfer ownership. Duplicate submissions will be deleted.
2. TRIAL SOFTWARE: If you are submitting a trial version which has limited functions after the trial YOU MUST include those details in your listing, and specify what the free version will continue to do. If you do not we will delete your software immediately. Please don't try it, we do check!.
3. YOUR WEBSITE: Please make sure your website is not listed in WOT and SiteAdvisor negatively, if it is, it's unlikely we will accept your submission.
4. VIRUSES: If you attempt to submit spam, virused files or commercial software we will delete your software and ban you from the site - your choice !!. If your software is known to have a false positive, make a note of these in the Special Notes section and please try and include even a short explanation to help the members.
5. CONTENT: Both the content of your software and your website will be checked - FreewareBB is a family friendly site and as such your software or site should not make reference to adult content or otherwise inappropriate material not suitable for all ages.

Please remember that we have people from many different timezones on the site and if your post requires a reply it could take longer at some at some points because of this.
