A forum regular recently distributed his software on GiveAwayOfTheDay, this discussion about why is very interesting. He later posted his experiences, looks like he got a huge increase in users. Another regular describes his experience on Bits duJour, a similar site that sells software at a discount, rather than giving it away.
