We take similar care with our backend systems used to update the catalog. It is safe to ignore these because Ninite opts out of the junk. You may get irrelevant warnings or experience download failures if you have security software configured to warn about the mere presence of junk offers in installers. Ninite declines all toolbar offers and bundled junkware. When we add new versions to our catalog we take care to verify the downloads from the origin site and run a virus scan. There are no options or prompts to ignore these issues or continue with questionable data. If validation fails the app update fails. If an official mirror is unreliable we may use our own mirror at .įiles retreived from Ninite Pro's cache are also validated immediately before use.
Those exes then talk to over a well-configured TLS connection to get the latest app configuration information.Įach program is downloaded from its publisher's official mirrors and then checked for a matching SHA-256 hash (delivered over TLS) or valid file signature from the publisher before we run anything.

Once I selected the software, it took less than half a minute before I had an installer downloading, and then about 20 minutes before all installations were complete. In setting up my new Lenovo ThankPad Yoga 15, you can see that in two simple steps I have all the freeware I'll need on Day 1.
As a bonus, they've already gone through the hassle of making sure that none of the toolbars and miscellaneous junk gets installed alongside the software. The installer is generated within seconds, and saves you the hassle of visiting the individual web pages of all of the software you're going to need anyway. Ninite aggregates the most popular freeware on to a single web page, let's you hand select the ones you need, and then custom builds an installer for those applications. This application can possibly save you hours of setup and configuration each time you buy a new computer, or rebuild your existing one. As it's been around for years, I'm still surprised at how often I find someone who hasn't at least heard of Ninite.
