If you have been using Ubuntu for long, then Synaptic Package Manager might be one your favorite applications as it allows you to manage, download, add/remove various packages and applications in bulk.

Unfortunately, Windows does not come pre-installed with any such application which allows user to download and manage various other softwares. However, QWinApt can do the same job for you on Windows that Synaptic does for Ubuntu users.

QWinApt is a package manager for Windows which allows for bulk downloading, installing and updating of a huge number of softwares.

It has got a user-friendly GUI just like that of Synaptic and the applications have been divided into categories for easy search and download. Mostly all softwares listed in QWinApt are free or open-source.

QWinApt can be downloaded from the link below. To install the app, download and extract all the zip archives from the featured downloads section on the right. Thanks Lee for sharing this great app.
