I admit I'm somewhat of a download junkie. My method is to copy my downloads to a rewritable CD (CDRW) and when the CDs become full I copy them to my hard drive and then burn them of on a CDR. Then I erase the CDRW and start all over again.
I like to keep the games and programs separate. I also have a separate one for personal saved documents. I currently have 21 program CDs and 36 game CDs (thats burned of) and thats not counting the 'commercial bought ones'. I'm also somewhat of a packrat, I don't like to delete anything.

I have a Folder entitled "Downloaded Files", with two sub-folders entitled "New Downloads" and "Installed Downloads" I download into "ND" and attatch a note to the folder with a Utility called "Explorer Notes" [available FREE from PC World downloads] with a 20-word explanation of the program. These may set here for months before I install them or delete them. When I install a program, I then move it to the "ID" folder. Now, from either the "ID" or "ND" folder, I can save to CD as desired.

There is also a possibility to back up your programs to internet-server, LAN or remote FTP server. It prevent the data loss that may happen due to CD disk failure. I use this backup program: http://www.office-backup.com It can also make a backup spanning multiple CDs.

I appreciate your helpful website. I've heard of Iso image file & wasn't sure if you had to save downloaded program files into such a special format on cd. This article resolve my concerns, at least about this. I do wonder WHEN you DO NEED to convert a file to an iso image file before saving it on cd? thanks
