I want to create a 'Software Download Website' like File Hippo. I want to list softwares according to popularity, recent softwares, browsers, anti malware etc.
When user clicks on the name of the software he should be redirected to the page which will contain the description of the software. There will be a link provided for download.
How can i achieve this in Drupal? Which modules?

Hi,

It is not difficult. You need:

1. CCK for custom fields.
2. Views and panels for displays and custom page layouts respectively.
3. Imagefield with imagecache to handle images and their links.
4. Core upload module or cck filefield module for file uploads.
5. Voting api and fivestar or rate modules for ratings.

What more features you want? Let me know by replying to this comment and I'll tell you the required modules for them.

Around the time this issue was created, we launched such download site (in D6). It includes features such as membership subsciptions, terms & conditions, user points, views, node access, support tickets and quite a few other modules. We gained a lot of Drupal experience by working on this site, but also learned that this is not an easy task to complete. The entire site was created with contrib modules only (so yes that's perfectly possible).

Contact me via my profile page for a pointer to the actual (commercial) site.
