Freeware for Windows -- Where Did It Go?

Talahamut asks: "The other day, I was planning on recording a radio show by running my stereo's output into my PC. Oooh, that sucks - WinXP's Sound Recorder limits you to 60 sec. recordings. Oh well, I'll just go online and grab a little WAV recorder. 30 minutes later, I'm frustrated because all I find is crippleware (time-limited, of course...) that records every format under the sun from any sound stream imaginable. What happened to the small home-brewed Windows utilities that used to be so easy to find online years ago? All the freeware sites I checked had nothing but commercial crippleware. Is there no place to find simple programs like that anymore?"

I have no "agenda". I simply stated how I see things, and offered a potential explanation for where the freeware went. I assumed that he would know about the obvious places like tucows, download.com, sourceforge, and others, and was still having no luck. I felt that repeating the obvious would have been useless, and tried to offer some insight, but it appears I failed at communicating that. My apologies.
