Ninite--Your one stop site for popular downloads

Have you ever wanted to download some of the popular free software on the web, all at once, and without all the prompts that come along with it?

I came across something that can help with that. It is called Ninite.  Literally there is a a grocery list of free and popular downloads to choose from. According to their website they state " Ninite installs software fast with default settings and says "no" to browser toolbars and other junk. Ninite checks your PC's language and 64-bit support to install the latest, best version of each program."

So pretty much its one of the fastest, easiest ways to install free software. All WITHOUT having to register an email address or to download a client interface to your desktop first. Amazingly easy is how I would describe it.  How does it work?

Sort through the lists of downloads you want to install, check the ones you desire. Scroll to the bottom of the site, click on the green "Get Installer" button. Your downloads should start very quickly. If not, there is a link on the page that allows you to initialize all the downloads. So depending on how many software options you select it could take very little time or a little longer (coffee break), but no interaction or options are really needed by you to get the application(s) installed. If you like things that help you save time. Then this is the site for you.

I have included a video to kind of show you how it works. It can be viewed at http://screencast.com/t/YjhkOWQ0M
