IMO, the modern alternative is a decent website. I was a member of the ASP and even sat on its Board for two years. Like PAD, it served its purpose and is now completely obsolete. Honestly, if I could take down every single file download site listing of my software, I would. People find your software with search engines, not download sites. Today, download sites exist to siphon visitors away from direct sources so they can shovel borderline malware at visitors with useless file download and scanner tools, etc.
