[thelist] download.com.com

Nope,not friends, they own the domain com.com, and download.com.com is a
subdomain. IMHO it's kinda stupid and a bit confusing, but hey, it's their
money.

Enlighten me:
how can "download.com" be "download.com.com"?
I was under the impression that when registering a domain that you were 
1) not allowed any periods in the domain name and, 2) you are not 
allowed to use any country codes (eg you can't buy "nz.co.nz") or 
top-level domains as part (or all) of your domain name.
Does CNet just have friends in high places?
