200 million users can't be wrong!

The days are getting shorter and the summer is at an end. This offers a great time to look back at the last three months in the world of downloads. One thing that stands out is the powerful players have kept their leads on top of most download charts. A quick look at the top download sites shows familiar names at the top with Google's Chrome browser making some powerful gains. The browser is touted as a fast, streamlined way to access the web.

Google is certainly no newcomer to the Internet field and their browser is making inroads against some of the other big names. What's also great is that the latest version of Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) is fully compatible with Chrome, giving users even more download options.

Other top spots are still occupied by security and antivirus programs. The fact that the web can be a sometimes wild and dangerous place is no surprise and this fact shows up in the popularity of the security applications. Topping the list right now is AVG's Anti-Virus Free Edition. A good anti-virus app at no cost is a deal that's hard to turn down.

Slipping in somewhat under the radar is an application that serves as an alternative to a popular application. While almost everyone has downloaded PDFs and Adobe Reader to open them, there are still many users searching for an alternative. One of the most popular alternatives is Foxit Reader. This application offers a great option to those users who are looking to increase their options when it comes to reading PDF files. It offers a simple and usable interface and performs its task well.

With summer in the past you can expect the download charts to change. Students are back at school and the days are cooler, so you can expect users to be at their computers more shaking up the world of downloads.
