cpl, pay per download

Hi, has anyone of you ever heard of CPL programs (that is you get payed per download). This means, you put affiliate links of a software program into your pages and when a user downloads the program you get paid.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance and keep your mind open.

So does this mean that none of you has ever heard of this? Am I the only one?

Are you talking about something like ClickBank?

No, I read this on Babylon's affiliate pages - they initially had planned to offer a 'pay-per-download' program but now it seems they won't launch it.

I wouldn't call this pay per download, it's really just a CPA offer where the action is a download.

Any software company with an affiliate program would qualify for this, but I get the impression that you're looking for programs that pay for free downloads.

The only ones of those I have seen involve downloading spaware/adware.

Usually Pay-Per-Download OR Pay-Per-Install is provided by SPYWARE & ADWARE companies, they usually pay between $0.25 to $1 (I hope according to how nasty there payload is) for each US, UK, European country install.
