Feh. I'm sorry to seem like a naysayer, but this place has such a clue
deficiency that it says "Licence: Freeware" for things that are very
clearly proprietary software, e.g., Tripwire ASR 2.0[1]. And a brief
survey of the security category suggests that their offerings aren't
very recent.
I'd recommend using Freshmeat first: http://www.freshmeat.net/
And Sourceforge.
On the plus side, Yippee does have ratings. Counter to that, though, I
have no idea whether they're competent to rate this software.
[1] Not to mention rsync, which they claim is at v. 1.0, although it's
at 2.4.x!
