Just thought I would leave a tip for anyone that *is* looking for a source of common Windows utilities. I don't mean to sound like and advert but boy, have I reinstalled a lot of Windows PCs over the years and www.ninite.com has been invaluable. You can select as many or as few utilities from the site and download a single installer (from a great big "Get Installer" button). It has all the common stuff (and, yes, Filezilla too). The site has no trick download buttons or anything to confuse the user.

The installer will auto-install everything you selected and, importantly, automatically say NO to any adware, browser toolbars or similar. Running the same installer later will also update all of those same apps to the latest version.

So, if the utility you are looking for is listed, or someone wants to install a bunch of common applications at once I would recommend pointing people to it over the normal places.
