Latest QB64 version.  Late comments. (4 years ago). Yikes!

Looks like they update the binaries but don't reset counters.

But oh well, it's free advertisement.

Softpedia? The 1990s called, and it wants its (whatever the hell it had in the 1990's) back!

I remember when Barney and I downloaded stuff from that site when Fred got laid off from the Slate Rock and Gravel Company, and couldn't afford paid software.

Ah, that.

I'm not endorsing their files, since anyone could do anything to a zip and offer it on their website, so only the binaries available at https://github.com/QB64Team/qb64/releases/latest are official.

But still, our binaries also have the indication of the target platform on their names.
