Softpedia is mix of both. It mostly has links to developers' downloads but hosts old stuff on own servers. There are also instructions for torrent links but I hadn't yet seen them there.

I love the idea of the 'old' software that is not available from the developer(s) anymore, being available. Thanks for the link, will go visit. This is something I will look into.
