I usually install programs through the distro package manager. Out of curiosity, what are you doing that requires downloading so many executables from the web?

Hopefully not leaking company information to clever attackers.
I work with a number of clients in high security environments where you have to get permissions to perform operations like execution (or even setting chmod x on a file). It really does limit people running random things and causing destruction.
