*Firefox Portable* is, obviously enough, a portable version of Mozilla's
popular browser. As well as insurance for times when you find yourself in
need of the internet but without a browser, there are plenty of other
occasions on which you might chose to use this portable tool, like if you are
using someone else's computer, or are very short on space. As Firefox
Portable *saves your bookmarks and folders*, it's perfect for work or study
when you are on the move. No need to try to remember where that great
research site is because you bookmarked it at home - all the information you
need is saved in the Firefox Portable file, ready to use no matter where you
are. There's no great mystery to using Firefox Portable. You install it
wherever - maybe on a *flash drive or USB key* for portability - open the
file and use it like you would your normal Firefox. You can browse, bookmark
and do anything you would normally, but the great advantage is that when you
want to go, just take the Firefox Portable file with you and you'll have all
your saved information, but no trace of your presence on the computer you've
been using. *Firefox Portable - perfect portability for a perfect
browser.*Download *Firefox Portable 7.0* in Softonic

Coollector 3.16-A better way to collect your favorite movies
*Coollector Movie Database* is an original *movie database* and *video
catalog*, different from anything you've seen so far. Instead of starting
out with an empty database that you fill in bit by bit with your own movies,
Coollector Movie Database comes with a huge collection of *more than 80,000
movies*, updated weekly. Each entry includes all sorts of information about
the movie, including cast, plot summary, awards and more, though the level of
detail may vary from one to another. The idea behind Coollector Movie
Database is not really maintaining a personal list of movies, but rather
customizing the database included in the program to your likes and needs. You
can mark movies as owned, seen or loaned, rate them or add them to a wish
list. The more personalized the database in Coollector Movie Database is, the
more useful it'll be for you. On the downside, the interface design in
Coollector Movie Database is a bit awkward. The design could be improved to
make the program easier to use and the contents more comfortable to browse.

Zattoo 4.0.5-Watch TV on your Mac for free
*Zattoo* allows you to watch TV channels on your PC for free. Most of the
channels are local to where you live but there are a selection of free
international channels such as Bloomberg and Press TV. After registering for
a Zattoo account online and installing the client, you'll get an overview of
the available TV stations in your locality. When you click on a channel, you
have to sit through a 10-15 second advert which is a bit annoying but after
that, the streaming is uninterrupted. Streaming is very stable and image
quality is very good. Zattoo also has a TV Guide which helps you plan your
viewing schedule and see what's up and coming and you can search for specific
channels. There are very few features or options beyond that, however. There
are no quality settings and no way to change the language of the interface
either which is a bit annoying. There's also no way to make recordings of
programs in Zattoo, which would be useful. *If you don't have a TV at home or
want to watch local TV on the move, Zattoo is an excellent solution.*Download

TuneUp Media 2.0.2-Your music consultant for iTunes
Is your iTunes library a mess? Do you have badly or mislabeled tracks?
Rewriting tags yourself can take forever, so TuneUp Media has been created to
help you out. TuneUp Media sits next to your iTunes window, and has four
functions. First is 'Clean', which searches for possible fits to your
mislabeled tracks, and then automatically changes the file's tag. You can
also search for cover art in the same way. Drag any album missing artwork
into the TuneUp Media box, and it will find suitable matches, then update
your files. If you like the 'cover flow' feature on iTunes, this is a great
way to make it look good. 'Now Playing' finds YouTube videos, Amazon
recommendations, Google news and ticket information relating to the music
you're listening to. 'Concerts' will list any performances in your area.
TuneUp Media allows you to clean 500 songs and find 50 album covers, so once
you've used them up you have to subscribe to do more. The unlimited 'Now
Playing' and 'Concerts' functions might be useful to you, and the YouTube
videos are a nice touch. TuneUp Media is a nice idea, although the
subscription is not cheap for a service you might not need a great deal. I
found the program to be a little slow and clunky, and unfortunately its
design doesn't fit that well with iTunes. *If you have lots of files in your
iTunes library that need organizing, TuneUp Media is for you. However, the
other features don't make this a program you'll want to run all the time, as
it is a little ugly and sometimes slow.*Download *TuneUp Media 2.0.2* in

Timeline 3D 3.2.6-Create your own stunning timeline of events
Timelines are an eye-catching way of illustrating the passage of time or a

easy to create your own timelines for any subject, whether it's family
photos, a moment in history, or even to remind you of a series of meetings
and work related events. Timeline 3D makes the process very easy by enabling
you to create interactive timelines that you can view on your Mac and even
mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Android phones. To navigate
timelines, use the arrow keys or your Apple Remote. You can add a wide range
of multimedia including photos, videos and audio soundtracks and you can even
integrate them with Apple Keynote presentations to really impress in
meetings. The results you can produce with Timeline 3D are very impressive.
Like Keynote, it can turn the most mundane of presentations or timelines into
something truly cinematic. However, it is rather inflexible on the type of
calendar it uses - Timeline 3D only supports the Gregorian calendar and
doesn't provide easy templates for timelines of say a couple of years, or
days. Finally, exporting your timelines to QuickTime for use in Keynote is
simple enough but takes a long time to compress. *Timeline 3D can create some

Have you ever had to regularly use special characters or fonts on your

can *automatically detect the font that you are using* so that the characters

rest. *PopChar is a powerful and easy to use tool that makes entering unusual

MindNode 1.7.3-Easy mind mapping for Mac
Mind mapping is a great way of graphically organizing your ideas, and works
well on big projects or to present connections between ideas. It is mostly
used in brainstorming sessions for one. MindNode is a simple and free mind
mapping tool, for people not looking for anything to elaborate yet wanting to
get initiated to the graphical idea organizing tool. You can create large
mind maps and use different colors for each different idea and connection and
choose between different types of brush strokes with MindNode, a good way of
differentiating the connection types in your graph. Although it will never
feel as natural as actually drawing on board, it is easy enough that anyone
can create advanced mind maps in seconds. MindNode is not highly advanced
though, so don't expect lots of shapes, tones or layer possibilities. On the
other hand, MindNode does offer keyboard support, which, if you take the time
to learn it, will allow you to sketch up your mind map even faster. To share
your brainstorm session, MindNode lets you print the document or export it in
any way of a number of formats. *Although not highly advanced, MindNode is a

Xilisoft iPod Magic 4.2.4.0729-Manage your iOS device without iTunes
*Xilisoft iPod Magic* allows you to transfer DVDs, music and video to your
iPod or iPhone, without needing iTunes to do it. Believe it or not, there are
some people out there who love their iPhone or iPod but aren't huge fans of
Apple's music player, iTunes. Those people are going to need another means of
transferring files on their Mac to their iOS device. That's where Xilisoft
iPod Magic comes into play. Billed as a three-in-one device management app,
Xilisoft iPod Magic lets you *rip audio and video from your iPod to your
Mac*, *copy files from iPod to iTunes* and *transfer files from your Mac to
your iPod*. There's even a way to convert non-iPod file formats on the fly,
before transferring them to your device. This program's clear, well-designed
interface makes it easy to manage files on your iPod or iPhone. The contents
of your Apple device are displayed in the main window, which is sectioned
into audio, video, podcasts and photo. There are three large buttons
underneath to add files to your iPod from your Mac, export files from your
device to your computer and for exporting to iTunes. Alternatively, you can
drag and drop multimedia to and from Xilisoft iPod Magic. The app even
*supports batch transfers*. Ripping a DVD to your iPod/iPhone is also very
easy with Xilisoft iPod Magic. Just load the disk, hit the icon and the movie
will be transferred to your device, or to iTunes, in the correct format. In
fact, most video or audio that you transfer using Xilisoft iPod Magic will
automatically be converted to the correct format. Xilisoft iPod Magic comes
with a a neat *preview window* so you can see the video as it's transferring
too. On the negative side, some users might find Xilisoft iPod Magic to be a
bit sluggish and unresponsive at times. It often takes a very long time to

iPod or iPhone, without needing iTunes to do it. Believe it or not, there are
some people out there who love their iPhone or iPod but aren't huge fans of
Apple's music player, iTunes. Those people are going to need another means of
transferring files on their Mac to their iOS device. That's where Xilisoft
iPod Magic comes into play. Billed as a three-in-one device management app,
Xilisoft iPod Magic lets you *rip audio and video from your iPod to your
Mac*, *copy files from iPod to iTunes* and *transfer files from your Mac to
your iPod*. There's even a way to convert non-iPod file formats on the fly,
before transferring them to your device. This program's clear, well-designed
interface makes it easy to manage files on your iPod or iPhone. The contents
of your Apple device are displayed in the main window, which is sectioned
into audio, video, podcasts and photo. There are three large buttons
underneath to add files to your iPod from your Mac, export files from your
device to your computer and for exporting to iTunes. Alternatively, you can
drag and drop multimedia to and from Xilisoft iPod Magic. The app even
*supports batch transfers*. Ripping a DVD to your iPod/iPhone is also very
easy with Xilisoft iPod Magic. Just load the disk, hit the icon and the movie
will be transferred to your device, or to iTunes, in the correct format. In
fact, most video or audio that you transfer using Xilisoft iPod Magic will
automatically be converted to the correct format. Xilisoft iPod Magic comes
with a a neat *preview window* so you can see the video as it's transferring
too. On the negative side, some users might find Xilisoft iPod Magic to be a
bit sluggish and unresponsive at times. It often takes a very long time to
build your audio library into the window. The iTunes integration is far from
perfect and a number of times Xilisoft iPod Magic managed to crash iTunes as

Lion Cache Cleaner 6.0.4-Cleaner and optimizer suitable for Panther and above
Firstly, don't be fooled by the name - *Lion Cache Cleaner* works on OS X
from Panther upwards. The developers seem to have a confusing habit of
changing the name with every new release of OS X. It's also much more than
just a cache cleaner which makes Lion Cache Cleaner in the running for surely
one of the most misleadingly named applications ever! Lion Cache Cleaner is a
one stop solution for a range of OS X maintenance needs. It works on both
Intel and PPC Macs using Panther or above. It even extends to virus scanning
of internet downloads although this can be extremely slow. What we really
liked about Lion Cache Cleaner is that it can repair permissions
automatically after software installations - very useful for someone like me
that installs and tests a lot of software. As the name suggests, you can
obviously flush several caches at once, language localization files and other
useless data. I'm always a bit wary of programs that claim to optimize RAM as
this is something that can make your system terribly unstable if done badly
but you can run Lion Cache Cleaner in Single User Mode to avoid crashing your
entire machine in one go. We also liked the fact that you can instantly see
the login items on your Mac which can reveal erroneous entries that may be
slowing down your startups. On the downside, Lion Cache Cleaner leaves behind
the package receipt and . plist file when uninstalled and the overall
interface, while easy to use, is very dated. *Despite the confusing name,
rest assured that Lion Cache Cleaner works from Panther upwards and is a
lightweight, easy to use and effective way to maintain your system.*Download

Web Site Maestro 8.6.2-Optimize your HTML code and speed-up your site
The bigger your website grows, the longer it can take to load in a browser.
This is especially true if your site is rich in mutlmedia content. Web Site
Maestro is designed as an optimizer to 'crunch' your website so that it loads
much quicker. Web Site Maestro speeds up your site by optimizing both HTML
and JPEG/PNG images. It does all this in a separate folder, meaning your
original files are left untouched. Note that you should continue to edit web
files in your original folder and your website will continue to be
'compressed' in the duplicate folder. Using Web Site Maestro is very easy
thanks to a wizard takes you through the installation process step by step.
You have a high degree of control over what is optimized and can choose
exactly which scripts you want to compress . These include JavaScript, Java,
LassoScript, CFscript, VBscipt, Jscript, PHP, ASP, JSP, CSP, TPL and CSS.
There's also a handy 'Smart Handling' feature, which allows you to optimise
only those files that you've modifed which makes things much quicker. Web
Site Maestro also makes it easy to upload your new files to FTP or WebDAV
servers with it's own internal FTP client. *Web Site Maestro is a powerful

FireBug 1.8.3-Web debugging made easy in Firefox
Debugging is probably one of a developer's least favorite tasks but,
regrettably, it's an essential part of software development. Any helping hand
is therefore received with open arms and FireBug does much of the hard work
for you. FireBug is a Firefox extension that allows you to monitor and tinker
with JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and Ajax through a combination of a powerful
debugger, error console, command line, and code inspectors. There are many
other minor features to FireBug but the most important by far is the
debugger, which automatically checks your code line by line. The debugger
sets breakpoints in your scripts and examines every step of execution in real
time. Particularly handy is the FireBug icon in the Firefox status bar which
tells you instantly if your page is broken. Just open the FireBug panel and
you'll see exactly what the problem is - no more scouring through reams of
script in the JavaScript Console window. You can open Firebug in a separate
window, or as a bar at the bottom of your browser, and also configure a
blacklist of sites that you'd like it to exclude. *For any developer who has
been driven mad by debugging, FireBug provides an ultra quick, easy and
headache-free way of developing your code.*Download *FireBug 1.8.3* in

TuneUp Lite 2.2.3-Your music consultant for iTunes
Is your iTunes library a mess? Do you have badly or mislabeled tracks?
Rewriting tags yourself can take forever, so TuneUp Companion has been
created to help you out. TuneUp Companion sits next to your iTunes window,
and has four functions. First is 'Clean', which searches for possible fits to
your mislabeled tracks, and then automatically changes the file's tag. You
can also search for cover art in the same way. Drag any album missing artwork
into the TuneUp Companion box, and it will find suitable matches, then update
your files. If you like the 'cover flow' feature on iTunes, this is a great
way to make it look good. 'Now Playing' finds YouTube videos, Amazon
recommendations, Google news and ticket information relating to the music
you're listening to. 'Concerts' will list any performances in your area.
TuneUp Companion allows you to clean 500 songs and find 50 album covers, so
once you've used them up you have to subscribe to do more. The unlimited 'Now
Playing' and 'Concerts' functions might be useful to you, and the YouTube
videos are a nice touch. TuneUp Companion is a nice idea, although the
subscription is not cheap for a service you might not need a great deal. I
found the program to be a little slow and clunky, and unfortunately its
design doesn't fit that well with iTunes. *If you have lots of files in your
iTunes library that need organizing, TuneUp Companion is for you. However,

Cyberduck 4.1.3-Elegant and efficient FTP client
*Cyberduck* is a free FTP client with a simple GUI that makes it very easy to
handle your uploads and downloads. The client handles FTP, SFP, Webdav and
Amazon S3 transfers. Adding a new connection is very simple and only takes a
couple of seconds. You can also drag and drop bookmarks to and from your
Finder. The interface is easy to use and will probably be well suited to
first time users. You'll also find that Cyberduck is compatible with most
external editors like BBEdit, TextWrangler or TextMate. One major complaint
coming from Cyberduck users is that FTP login and transfers can be a little
slow. Obviously this is a bit of a drawback, since transfer speed is one of
the main benchmarks of FTP clients. However, many of the fixes introduced in
the latest version compensate somewhat for this. The CPU hogging issue after

Amazon S3 transfers. Adding a new connection is very simple and only takes a
couple of seconds. You can also drag and drop bookmarks to and from your
Finder. The interface is easy to use and will probably be well suited to
first time users. You'll also find that Cyberduck is compatible with most
external editors like BBEdit, TextWrangler or TextMate. One major complaint
coming from Cyberduck users is that FTP login and transfers can be a little
slow. Obviously this is a bit of a drawback, since transfer speed is one of
the main benchmarks of FTP clients. However, many of the fixes introduced in
the latest version compensate somewhat for this. The CPU hogging issue after
completed downloads has been fixed as has the option to connect to services

Album Art Downloader 0.42.1-Download the album covers of your favourite albums
I must admit, I do admit the feel of vinyl but most of all, the huge covers
which graced all good LP's and singles. Of course, CD's still have them but
since most of our music is now digital, album art is not something we really
see much anymore. However, Album Art Downloader finds the cover art for your
albums based on their name and can add a touch of class and polish to any
collection. Simply enter the name of the group and the program will search
several sources of album art including Amazon, Coveralia and GoogleImage.
This means that the database is incredibly large and it can recover album
info for just about any modern record. Once you find the image you want, it
can be "My Pictures" and the program creates a new folder called "Album art".
Each album is then obviously separated into each group and artist. The
quality of the downloads varies however - some are little more than
thumbnails whereas others are in high resolution. The major drawback for most
users is that it requires some script knowledge as you have to write scripts
to download the various album art you need. However, the developer site does
offer some hints and code on how to do this so if you've done it before, you
shouldn't find it too hard. *Regain the glory of the vinyl days and make your
collection shine again by giving it it's original album art with Album Art

Web Site Maestro 8.6.2-Optimize your HTML code and speed up your site
The bigger your website grows, the longer it can take to load in a browser.
This is especially true if your site is rich in mutlmedia content. Web Site
Maestro is designed as an optimizer to 'crunch' your website so that it loads
much quicker. Web Site Maestro speeds up your site by optimizing both HTML
and JPEG/PNG images. It does all this in a separate folder, meaning your
original files are left untouched. Note that you should continue to edit web
files in your original folder and your website will continue to be
'compressed' in the duplicate folder. Using Web Site Maestro is very easy
thanks to a wizard takes you through the installation process step by step.
You have a high degree of control over what is optimized and can choose
exactly which scripts you want to compress . These include JavaScript, Java,
LassoScript, CFscript, VBscipt, Jscript, PHP, ASP, JSP, CSP, TPL and CSS.
There's also a handy 'Smart Handling' feature, which allows you to optimise
only those files that you've modifed which makes things much quicker. Web
Site Maestro also makes it easy to upload your new files to FTP or WebDAV
servers with it's own internal FTP client. *Web Site Maestro is a powerful
tool for speeding up slow websites and compressing content rich web pages for
faster loading.*Download *Web Site Maestro 8.6.2* in Softonic

Copernic Desktop Search 3.5.0-Super-fast desktop search
*Copernic Desktop Search* is an alternative to Windows search that aims to
make the search process quicker and easier to manage. Using Windows' built-in
desktop search is a bit of a struggle. The more information you have on your
computer, the slower it is and sometimes it can take a long time. Copernic
Desktop Search is a contender in the battle for the best desktop search tool
around. When you install the program, it will index your computer so it knows
what to search. This is an amazingly quick process. In fact, Copernic Desktop
Search was so quick that we thought it hadn't been done¡! It automatically
re-indexes after that, waiting for idle periods to make sure its search stays
up to date on your documents. The file indexing schedule is *completely
customizable*. Copernic Desktop Search interface has lots of ads - which it
euphemistically calls 'web results' - and you can't get rid of them. That's
not the case with the other aspects of the interface - there is a main search
box and results are displayed under tab-like icons that allow you to refine
by *music, files, images* and more. Once you select a certain area - say
emails - you can *refine further* by date/size, etc. All of these options are
customizable, and there are additional search options in the Copernic Desktop
Search taskbar and in a toolbar on your web browser. Undoubtedly the most
important aspect of any desktop search app is the results. Copernic Desktop
Search was *incredibly fast*, but sometimes missed results that seemed
obvious. Results improved when we manually updated the index, which makes us
think that special attention is required when configuring the indexing
options. In its favor, Copernic Desktop Search results are easy to see and
classify, and the multiple refining options make sifting through large
numbers of documents very easy. If you don't have that much to index however,

MetaX 2.13-Quickly tag your movies
*MetaX* saves you a lot of time and typing by *tagging your movie collection*
in a completely automated way, so that they're easier to manage and look
great in your movie manager. Using MetaX is piece of cake. All you need to do
is open your movie files in the program, and it'll import the appropriate
metadata from the TagChimp database. You can then select your preferred
results or check individual tags from other results. MetaX has *direct access
to IMDB*, from where you can obtain extra information about any movie.
Another feature we especially liked is the ability to capture a frame and use
it as cover for your movie. On the downside, it's a pity the program only
works with a few video formats (MP4, MV4, M4A, M4B, M4P and MOV). The
interface in MetaX is simple and straightforward, but if you get stuck at
some point don't worry: the program includes a complete Help section with
links to forums, demo videos and PDF user manuals. *With MetaX you can easily

Mipony 1.5.1-Excellent dowload manager for file hosting sites
File hosting sites are a great way to share large files online, but they are
also a pain to browse: extra clicks, waiting times, checking back to see if
the download is finished and start another one... Luckily you can now let
Mipony take care of it all! Mipony is a handy download manager that has been
especially developed to work with free hosting sites such as Megaupload,
Rapidshare, Mediafire, Filesend and many others. All you need to do is copy
and paste download links onto Mipony's interface (or simply enable the
program's *clipboard monitor*) and relax while your files are being
downloaded, one after the other, as fast as possible. You can also use the
program's built-in web browser, or copy and paste a web address and Mipony
will scan it in search of download links. Mipony checks the links before
downloading them to make sure they work, waits if necessary and downloads the
files to your hard drive. If the file is divided into several parts, Mipony
will also let you join them. The program's configuration settings enable you
to limit download speed and number of simultaneous downloads so that you
don't jam your internet connection. You can also use Mipony with premium
accounts on many of the supported hosting sites. The only thing that annoyed
me about Mipony is that the program's window opens on top of everything else
every time you copy a download link to the clipboard. It would be nicer if it
simply stored all copied links in the background. Other than that, it's
simply an excellent download manager! With Mipony you can manage all your
downloads from free hosting sites in a much easier, more comfortable

Anomos 0.9.5-Download P2P anonymously and securely
*Anomos* is an encrypted multi-peer-to-peer file distribution protocol that
provides arguably the most secure P2P downloading on the net. The reason for
this is that Anomos *encrypts connections at both the source and receiving
end*. The disadvantage is that Anomos doesn't work with normal .torrent files
- it requires it's own *.atorrent* format although Anomos allows you to take
.torrent files and convert them to .atorrent. Anomos is *based on the
peer/tracker concept of BitTorrent* but also in combination with an onion
routing anonymization layer. Added to the end-to-end encryption, this creates
a highly secure download network. In theory, no one will be able to detect
the P2P file exchanges as they would be able with a normal P2P client. Anomos
is extremely easy to use. It uses *Python*, however, to open the main
interface which looks very basic and can be very unresponsive. Sometimes it
takes a few clicks to get Anomos to respond to browse the the correct folder
for your torrents. As yet, there's no directory of .atorrents either but as
mentioned earlier, you can convert .torrent files browsing the "File" and
conversion option. Anomos can also be a bit tricky to understand if something
goes wrong. Downloads tend to disappear and your only option is to click on
the Log reports to see what happened to your torrents. *Anomos is an

Delicious Library 2.7.1-Catalog all your media
Delicious Library will appeal to those of you that feel the urge to catalog
all your discs, books, DVDs and any other media filling up your home. The
application can store thousands of items, which are instantly searchable and
easy to organize in different categories. You'll enjoy Delicious Library's
shelf view which gives you a great vision of all your stored items. What
makes Delicious Library stand out from other cataloging software is how it
lets you add items to your catalog, either via Bluetooth or by using your
integrated iSight camera. This last one is a little tricky, as you need to
hold up the bar code right, however once done on a few items you get the hang
of it and it works really well. It's a shame that Delicious Library only
works with Amazon. On the other hand this means it has access to information
on thousands of items. You'll also be able to buy and sell items directly via
Amazon. If you don't want to use iSight or Bluetooth, start typing the name
of your item, Delicious Library should find it on Amazon and fill in all the
information for you. The only real drawback to me is handling lent items,
which isn't really obvious in the program. For this you're best creating
Friends lists. *Delicious Library is a beautifully designed cataloging tool

X Lossless Decoder 20110924-Decode your audio without losing quality
FLAC, APE and Apple Lossless formats have increased in popularity in recent
years because they're all audio formats that lose absolutely no quality
unlike formats such MP3 or OGG. X Lossless Decoder is a three-in-one tool
i.e. a decoder, converter and a player for audio files in all of these
formats namely, FLAC, APE, WV, TTA and Apple Lossless. It will also play
AIFF, WAV and MP3 files. Once you've finished creating your lossless audio
file, you can use X Lossless Decoder to convert it to something more
universally acceptable such as MP3. Just remember to go into the Preferences
and change the file output format from the default of "WAV" to "MP3". X
Lossless Decoder provides support for CUE sheet which can extract and split
files. For the technicians out there, X Lossless Decoder uses not a front-end
decoder but a library to decode so no intermediate files are generated. The
lack of a GUI is a bit strange but when encoding from a CD, select "File" and
"Open Audio CD" and you'll see your track listing. It would be better if X

drawback. *X Lossless Decoder is an efficient and highly flexible decoder

Vuze (Azureus) 4.7.0.0-Super fast and media rich bit-torrent client
*Vuze* (formerly known as Azureus) is a bit-torrent client which follows a
similar format to eMule but its makers claim it can offer significant
improvements in terms of hits, download times and navigating available
material. There's no doubt that Vuze offers some *spectacularly fast download
times* but this comes at a price. Mainly the fact that Vuze is extremely
bloated and tries to install two toolbars when you install it. On the upside,
because Vuze is an open source project, there is a *large community of
programmers, designers and users who are continually testing and improving
it* and there's an excellent FAQ. You receive *comprehensive stats* about
every file that's downloaded with Vuze (most of which will mean nothing to
you though) but most importantly it gives you the all important *Estimated
Time of Arrival* and *Share Ratio* which tells you how much of a particular
file you have uploaded or given back to the community. Apparently, in a
perfect world, every file should have a share ratio of two which means for
each file you download, two users download it from you. Possibly the most
notable feature of Vuze, however, is the *media website that's embedded* into
the application. It looks like an entertainment website and that's pretty
much what it is only the entertainment can be downloaded via Vuze. These
include *gameshows, user generated content, sports* and more. Vuze has a
rather overwhelming interface as a result. It's far more bloated than other
P2P clients such as uTorrent and Transmission. It takes some getting used to
at first the upside is that it is much more customisable than most Mac P2P
apps. For example, if you want to configure Vuze to work only with a VPN, you

Clementine 0.7.1-Lightweight, easy-to-use music player
*Clementine* music player is a is a lightweight, clean audio app for Windows,
based on the popular Amarok engine for Linux. Just like iTunes, Clementine
lets you build up a personal music library by importing files and folders
from your hard drive. This means you can comfortably listen to all your music
from one single location, even if it's scattered all over the system.
Besides playing music, Clementine also includes interesting extra utilities,
such as a *tag editor*, support for *online music services* like Last.fm and
Jamendo, a built-in *online radio player* and a *cover manager* that can find
missing album covers for you. Clementine doesn't have as many library
management features as we could expect from a music manager, but it's come on
in leaps over the last few versions, managing to add extra features - like
global hotkeys, sleek interface and good playlist management - while
remaining a light, well-designed player that's perfect for those who prefer
to stay away from bloatware. *Clementine is a lightweight music player with

from your hard drive. This means you can comfortably listen to all your music
from one single location, even if it's scattered all over the system.
Besides playing music, Clementine also includes interesting extra utilities,
such as a *tag editor*, support for *online music services* like Last.fm and
Jamendo, a built-in *online radio player* and a *cover manager* that can find
missing album covers for you. Clementine doesn't have as many library
management features as we could expect from a music manager, but it's come on
in leaps over the last few versions, managing to add extra features - like
global hotkeys, sleek interface and good playlist management - while
remaining a light, well-designed player that's perfect for those who prefer
to stay away from bloatware. *Clementine is a lightweight music player with
clean design and a bunch of interesting extra tools. Give it a try!*Download

ThinRDP 1.0.0.39-Remotely access your desktop via a web browser
*ThinRDP* enables you to *access your desktop* from anywhere via a simple web
browser, and manage your programs and documents as if you were sitting in
front of your computer. Using ThinRDP is very easy. The host computer – the

Silverlight. A web browser will be enough, as long as it supports *HTML5*.
All you need is to leave ThinRDP running in the remote computer, and
optionally set a username and password for more security. The system will be
accessible through a web browser just by entering the remote computer's IP
address (note that you have to use port 8443). All your programs, files and
documents will be there. ThinRDP can be especially useful to provide remote

ABBYY FineReader Professional Edition 11-Digitize paper documents
Paper documents have two main problems - you can't easily edit them and they
are delicate. ABBYY FineReader is designed to easily solve this problem by
digitizing paper media. It can also handle PDF documents, giving you the
freedom to do what you want with them. ABBYY FineReader is an advanced
program that uses optical character recognition on scans or photos for text,
layout, tables and even the language of the document. The results can be
edited within the program, or exported to Word. Compatible with all scanners,
and cameras too, ABBYY FineReader is extremely easy to use. It detects any
connected devices, so you can scan in a document or choose an image from a
camera or your hard drive. The image is then read, and two windows open. One
shows the original image, and the other the digitized editable version. The
performance of ABBYY FineReader is impressive. We tested a document
photographed with an iPhone, and it was converted perfectly, with no errors.
There are sometimes issues with images, but in general ABBYY FineReader will
give you extremely good results. You can export files to PDF, DOC, XLS or
HTML. If you want to effectively digitize paper doncuments, ABBYY FineReader

Xtorrent 2.1.161-Clever Bittorrent client with powerful search tool
Coming from the developer of the excellent Acquisition search tool, we're
bound to expect a top notch program. The Xtorrent client does not disappoint.
This Bittorrent client offers a powerful search tool, reminiscent of
Acquisition, and a great way of organizing your different downloads. These
will be separated by type (image, video, audio) and can be stored in
different groups. Once a file is downloaded you can have Xtorrent
automatically store it somewhere, such as place audio files in iTunes.
Torrents can be managed individually and Xtorrent offers both a progress bar
and bottom information window to keep you updated on all the stats relating
to the torrent. I enjoyed the torrentcast feature, which is ideal to download
new episodes of a file being released regularly. If there's one thing that's
missing from Xtorrent, it's the ability to create your own trackers, a
feature now available in most torrent clients. I also felt the interface
could get a little crowded with many downloads running. Overall though,

FreeFileSync 4.0-Compare and synchronize your folders with ease
If you manually backup folders, or perhaps transfer files from portable
devices to your HDD regularly, FreeFileSync is a great application for doing
the job effectively and efficiently. While FreeFileSync won't win any beauty
contests, FreeFileSync's interface is super functional. Drag and drop folders
you want to compare or synchronize, the click the fat buttons to start the
process. Compare simply brings up any differences in the two folders, while
synchronizing can be done in a variety of ways. 'Two way' will copy or update
files from both folders to each other (so both are identical afterwards),
'mirror' overwrites the right folder with the left's content, while 'update'
just copies new or updated files to the right folder. FreeFileSync does its
job excellently. It is not automated, but it's quick and easy to use, and
asks just the right number of questions before anything happens, so you won't
lose files accidentally. You can tell it to use the recycle bin too, just to
be on the safe side. *For anyone who wants to synchronize files and folders,

CrystalDiskInfo 4.0.3-Check out the health status of your Hard Disk
If you need to be reassured on the health status of your Hard Disk, run
CrystalDiskInfo and see what the response is like. CrystalDiskInfo is a
hard-disk health monitoring utility. It displays basic HDD information,
monitors S. M. A. R. T. values and disk temperature. You don't have to do
anything apart from running CrystalDiskInfo in order to have a health status
report, stating temperature level, error rate, spin-up time and lots of other
information which might be useful to know, especially for tech-savvy users.
Even if you are not one of those, you might still find it cheerful to see
written in a glossy blue box that your hard disk status is 'Good'.
Unfortunately, there is no interaction with CrystalDiskInfo, it's just a
window with data and you can't do much else with those. There is a graph
display, but it doesn't seem particularly easy to understand it, if and
when it works. *Although the figures given by CrystalDiskInfo can be hard to

CloneSpy 2.62-Find and delete duplicate files on your computer
CloneSpy is a very efficient program that finds duplicate files on your PC,
allowing you to free space on your hard disk. This ensures your operating
system to run better and even faster, depending on the type of duplicate
files you had. You almost surely have doubled music files which occupy
useless space on your HDD. This happens when, for example, you borrow a music
CD from a friend and you copy it all without realizing you might already have
some of the songs included in your friend's CD. Before you can start
scanning your system with CloneSpy though, add a folder in the 'pool1'
section. When you browse the CloneSpy directory you want to analyze, bear in
mind you need to press the 'add selected folder' or the 'add all
sibling folders' button, otherwise the process will not work, and you will
be left with a feeling of not knowing what happened. If you don't change
CloneSpy settings, the program will ask you every time before deleting a
file, always showing you the two supposedly duplicate files. *Although
CloneSpy's GUI is surely not so user friendly, the program is so useful
that we can close an eye on that. CloneSpy helps you find all duplicate files

Swiss File Knife - SFK makes daily tasks with Windows Command line easy. It
covers such a huge range of tasks that it's hard to list them all here.
Amongst many other things, it can find and extract text in binary files, list
dir tree sizes, filter and replace text, run an instant ftp server, find
duplicate files, join many text files into one, create and verify md5
checksum lists and of course, run a command on all files. It can also detab
text, create hexdumps from files, trace contents of a tcp connection, find
dependencies between files, print colored text to terminals, locate commands
in path, print last lines of a file, hex to binary, binary to source code,
convert CR/LF, split and join large files. So how does this help you in your
daily life. Well, if you want to transfer files from one PC to another for
example, Swiss File Knife allows you to simply type "sfk ftpserv", and you
have an ftp server running within one second. The same goes for many other
functions: "sfk find" finds text within files - without long and boring index
creations. "sfk run" runs your self-defined command on all files, but you get
a preview of what would be done before the stuff is really executed. *No
installation, registry modifications or DLL dependencies - SFK simply runs

Q-Dir 4.76-Free multi-pane file explorer for Windows
Power users often find the standard Windows File Explorer too limited and
need a more complete file manager to suit their needs. If you're among them
look no further because we've got the right app for you with Q-Dir. Q-Dir is
a multi-pane file manager for Windows that makes file management more
convenient and above all, far more comfortable for you. Having several
windows pointing to different locations on your hard drive makes it much
easier to move or copy data from one folder to another, and also makes
browsing faster. Q-Dir supports different layouts with 2, 3 o 4 panes and
each one of them can be configured separately. Q-Dir doesn't really add any
extra function to the ones already featured in Windows Explorer, but there's

KMPlayer 3.0.0.1442-Excellent free multi-format media player
*KMPlayer* is a lightweight audio and video player for Windows that supports
a wide range of different file formats, including AVI, ASF, WMV, AVS, FLV,
MKV, and many more. Choosing a multimedia player used to be a real
no-brainer. However, during recent times the raft of new features and updates
added to classic media players like Winamp, Windows Media Player, and even
iTunes have left the apps increasingly bloated. For those looking for a fresh
alternative to these ballooning apps, *KMPlayer* could be your ticket. Like
similar app UMPlayer, KMPlayer has a small desktop footprint and its
minimalist interface makes *video playback* quick and hassle-free. The
player's interface is fully skinable, and there are some nice aesthetic
touches, such as the changing of colour on the player with every new track.
There are all sorts of options to help you pimp and *customize KMPlayer*,
such as visualizations, plug-ins and playback options. But the beauty of
KMPlayer is that these are turned on at your request rather than being forced
upon you at the outset. KMPlayer handles both *audio and video*, and supports
a wide range of different formats, meaning that once installed, you should
never need to touch another player. Video playback is particularly impressive
thanks to the range of processing tools available that allow you to sharpen,
change picture properties, apply filters and even make video captures from
within the program. *If you're looking for a customizable, light yet powerful

StuffIt Expander 2011 15.0.1.17-The standard Mac file expander now for Windows
If you often receive zipped, or otherwise compressed files, you'll know an
extraction application is necessary. WinZip is probably the standard for PC
users, but now *StuffIt Expander*, the long time Mac equivalent has come to
Windows. This free version only handles expansion - you can't compress your
files - but unlike WinZip, StuffIt Expander will unpack many different
compression formats. This includes common ones like RAR and TAR files. That
alone makes it quite an improvement over the competition. Expansion is
unproblematic, and the simple interface has buttons to expand single files or
groups. Destination folders can be chosen as you would expect, and that
really is about it. There are no compression tools in StuffIt Expander,
although they are available if you upgrade to the deluxe version. *Due to its

Vuze 4.7.0-High definition movies and downloads to your PC
With the release of Vuze, Azureus is jumping onto the legal torrent
bandwagon. This application features the classic and extensive Azureus
torrent client and adds to it an online platform from which you can download
and submit legal audio and video content. Vuze's interface is a complete
shake-up to what Azureus users are used to. The BitTorrent developer has
decided to focus on online multimedia content and introduce user
participation. The first thing the user sees is a "Find, Download, Play"
screen to introduce you to Vuze. You can browse files by using the left side
menu, divided in time, main channels and tags. The menu at the top also links
to hot and new content. Vuze takes the web 2.0 road and you'll see that most
of the files have tags. You can write out a comment and leave a rating. The
program also makes it a no brainer to send a video by email and link to
content directly from your blog or website. Additionally, there are social
bookmarking links for each file. Downloading torrents is as simple as using
the search bar, which the gives you options to search the Vuze site and
results from the major bittorent sites such as Btjunkie. You can also easily
add more sites to that list if you wish. We won't expand on the qualities
of the Azureus client, for which you can read a review here. Vuze tries to
innovate by adding social tools to the program and providing legal content in
the Vuze HD Network. There are numerous channels to choose from, yet we were
disappointed with the content in general. On some channels there's very
little to watch and on others you don't necessarily find what you were hoping
for. Much of the content feels cheap and throwaway, even if it is in glorious
HD. On the downside Vuze does nothing to atone for Azureus's principal
drawback: the overuse of your RAM and DSL connection. Yes, Vuze is still a
resource and bandwidth hog, and there's nothing you can do about it. The
whole interface is really simple, though the program is so heavy you will get
some slow down, and the amount of legal content is still limited, Vuze is a
promising application for sharing and enjoying legal content. If you're
already hooked on the original Azureus bittorrent client, take a leap into

Using Posterino is generally a pleasure. The only problems you mount

Google Earth 6.1.0.4738-Explore the globe
*Google Earth* lets you explore our world from far away and right up close.
The application lets you zoom in on any part of the world and for some
places, observe from a few meters away. *Explore and learn.* *Google Earth*
not only displays satellite images but it also includes terrains and 3D
reconstruction of buildings. You can look for directions and businesses, just
like in Google Maps and pinpoint areas or draw on maps straight in Google
Earth. Google Earth includes a very wide, and constantly increasing library
of *layers*, which you can add to the map to enrich your experience. You'll
find all sorts of information, *from historical landscapes to national
parks*, regions where you can find endangered species or tourist spots.
Google Earth will also showcase more news related information such as forest
fires or tsunamis. But Google Earth is not limited to terrain, and with every
new version, it adds new sources of satellite imagery and information about
other areas in the world. Say you're really into stars; then you should turn
to the *Sky* mode and navigate among the constellations. Or, if you prefer
exploring the seas, enable the *Water* surface option and learn all the
secrets about oceans and marine creatures. Feeling more adventurous? Select
the *Moon* or the *Mars* options and take a walk in space without leaving
your easy chair. What's more, Google Earth also lets you travel in time by
providing you with a new *Historical Imagery* function that allows you to see
the evolution of certain locations during the past few years. *Navigation.*
Moving around in Google Earth is incredibly intuitive thanks to the multiple
navigation tools. Some areas will show less information than others, and
Google Earth is known to use up a substantial amount of bandwidth, but it
remains a fascinating piece of software *Conclusion.* *Google Earth is as of
yet an unequaled application. Browse around the world, zoom into streets,
gaze at the stars or dive into the ocean. Millions of possibilities.*Download

CrossLoop 2.81-Superb free and easy screen sharing tool
If you're a bit of a computer whiz, then you probably often get asked by
friends and family to sort out their latest PC disaster. However, if you live
far apart, have a busy lifestyle or can't get there easily physically, you
might find Crossloop a godsend. There are many applications out there that
allow you to share desktops but perhaps none that do it more easily and
simply than Crossloop. CrossLoop is basically a free secure screen sharing
utility designed for people of all technical backgrounds so you don't need
to be a geek to use it. It allows you to connect to another user's computer
and share their desktop without having to change any firewall or router
settings. This is obviously perfect if you need to find out why someone is
having problems with their PC or if you just want to simply share information
with them. The key to this program's appeal is its simplicity. In fact, the
developers claim you'll be sharing desktops within 60 seconds of
installation. After installing CrossLoop, you will see a welcome screen with
two tabs. Select the 'Join' tab if you would like to connect and control
a friend's PC. Select the 'Host' tab if you would like to temporarily
share access to your PC. This host tab contains an important 12-digit access
code that your friend will need to enter to connect to your PC. Obviously,
the only requirement is that your friend has Crossloop installed too to
initiate a session. Once done, you're ready to go. A separate window opens
with your friend's desktop and you can tinker to your hearts content.
There's not much you can do to customise such a simple program but the
developers have recently spiced up the tabs with some new skins such as Aqua,
Jungle, Nebula and even Pink Lemonade. The most recent release features a
completely new design and they've extended the networking community
functions. Now you can create your own profile where you can view your login
history and rate those that have helped you. For those that are really handy,
you can also receive a Crossloop "badge" and advertise your services on the
site - great for IT support professionals. Obviously, the main concern with
such P2P connections is security. However, the developers maintain that all
sent information is highly encrypted with a128-bit algorithm using the
randomly generated 12-digit access code mentioned earlier. There's no need
to worry about anyone accessing your PC without permission either – a popup
requesting permission from you alerts you before any information is
exchanged. The only real drawbacks of Crossloop are that as yet, it doesn't
offer file sending or a chat function. This is not a disaster because you can
always use a separate instant messaging application to do this but these
features would be the icing on the cake. Nevertheless, Crossloop really is an
excellent application for what it offers. The fact that it is free only adds
to its appeal, considering similar programs such as Copilot charge anything
up to $5 for 24 hours of use. However, the popularity of this program means
that the developers may start charging for it soon: so take advantage of it
now whilst it's free! To keep up with the latest developments with Crossloop,
don't forget to check the developer blog.Download *CrossLoop 2.81* in

Earth Alerts 2011.1.158-Forecasts for catastrophists
*Earth Alerts* is a 'near real time' monitoring and information service for
natural hazards. You won't find showers or sunny spells among the forecasts
made by Earth Alerts - it's strictly a tsunami, earthquake and wildfire kind
of kind of program. Once you download Earth Alerts, start your examination of
nature's less clement behavior by entering the locations that interest you,
bearing in mind that although Earth Alerts supports *global events*, it is
tailored to the US. One you have chosen your location and enabled
auto-update, you can monitor all of the major events. *Earthquakes, tsunamis,
volcanoes, cyclones, wildfires and landslides* are all covered by Earth
Alerts, with information taken from a variety of organizations that
specialize in natural hazards, weather and geography. You can focus on each
area separately, looking at maps, radar images, Google Earth results and even
news stories relating to whatever is currently happening. Earth Alerts
provides *plenty of settings* options, from tweaking the frequency of updates
to requesting email and SMS notification of any changes. You can add multiple
locations and specify the specific locales and minimum severity of the events
you want notification of. Earth Alerts is *a very interesting program* and
will be particularly attractive to people living or interested in the US. On
the negative side, Earth Alerts' maps and graphs are not interactive and the
old-fashioned interface casts a negative shadow on the program's
technological claims. *Earth Alerts is perfect for the disaster-obsessed, but
lacks the polish needed to make it a truly great program.*Download *Earth
