How about
1) Latest virus buster software
2) 1 article freeware
3) Multipart freeware
4) Misc stuff
5) Single article shareware
6) Multiple article shareware

And eliminate the crippleware.  Just have 1 article telling what site(s) have
it available for anonymous FTP.  Why should the net pay for some company's
advertising?

There was a young poet named Dan, whose poetry would never scan,
when told this was so, He said, Yes I know,
It's because I try to fit every possible sylable into the last line that I can.
