There are quite a few sites to download Inkscape. I don't know which one is safe. I even saw one by CNET. What is CNET?

thanks

CNET is a big tech news/review/help site owned by CBS (as in the TV network). They should be safe to download from. I think I've downloaded some Mac stuff from them in the past.

The link on the main site http://www.inkscape.org/en/ to Sourceforge should be fine.
Yeah . Inkscape is a free software so you can just download it from the main website instead of searching torrent websites :biggrin:
