Arguably, I can understand that a cd installer wouldnt fall under the
download category, nor would a bug in the retail version of the game, so
removing the download keyword would do fine, but what if there are 2
different free versions of a program (ie. zonealarm has a free version and a
trial pro version, same for ad-aware).  If you have a trial a freeware
keyword, then it would be easier to tell which version is being referenced,
and therefore easier (and faster) to diagnose and fix the bug.
