fisty · 19-05-2003 11:32pm

daemon tools.
good for mounting images without wasting cds

MrNuked · 20-05-2003 12:23am

585 spybot programs removed by spybot. Guess I'm famous ?
System mechanic is quite useful. Trial only though.
Personally I found the game adom superb. Not everyone's cup of tea though. (Big complex RPG with no graphics done D&D style). Free to download if you do a search for it. (too lazy to put up links I'm afraid).

All Macromedia programs are available for download from their website. 30-Day Trial ones which you can put a product key into if and when you decide to buy it.

Anyway...

Winamp
Nero
Trillian
RealVNC
Tiny Personal Firewall
CloneCD
WinTidy
NetSwitcher
DaemonTools
Kazaa Lite

Ryo Hazuki · 22-05-2003 8:46pm

Winamp 3 is the devil.

Possibly, but has anyone noticed that it has to buffer WMA (windows media) files for about 3seconds before they play?

Its quite annoying and the same thing happens when you fast forward.

This NEVER happened in winamp 2!

Also, any good sites to get some winamp skins?

Best Software I ever Downloaded?

ACDSee 32 2.41

The best and fastest image viewer ever!

30 day trial, then just uninstall and reinstall!

Brillant program, got it about 5 years ago and im still using it!

Ive tried others but they are so slow and hard to use.

Captain Trips · 23-05-2003 2:46pm

Yeah but Winamp 3 does have crossfading which makes it wicked at parties if you've got a laptop with a few hundred albums all hooked up!

Silent Bob · 23-05-2003 7:55pm

Debian.

MrNuked · 23-05-2003 8:15pm

MrNuked, consider yourself nuked. We don't talk about warez here. It's not in the charter because only a retarded gibbon would think it's ok to talk about warez here. Don't do it again please.

trunks · 26-05-2003 1:52pm

great for those peskey web sites
you can just dowload the whole web site in one shot

and it runs in window and linux distros as well
http://www.httrack.com/index.php

jabberwock · 26-05-2003 2:04pm

you can just dowload the whole web site in one shot

can run into problems with asp sites I've found

another good one is Webreaper.

trunks · 26-05-2003 2:21pm

WebReaper uses Microsoft's WinINet libraries

wit httrack you get all the html and all the pic seprate you you can hack and chop all you like

and you can view with any web brower not just IE

i normally just use the ones on winamp.com, there's over 3000 skins here (good site for wallpaper & skins for pretty much every popular app out there)

lol, 60 uninstalls & 60 reinstalls... surely it'd be less hassle just to buy the damn thing.

my personal favourite would have to be windows commander/total commander.

essential if you're sick of navigating your hd in explorer

hamster · 26-05-2003 7:17pm

Yes, I like webreaper a lot. Resuming a "reap" can be troublesome at times. But is highly recommended. I have used it for 3 years.

Ryo Hazuki · 26-05-2003 7:23pm

lol, 60 uninstalls & 60 reinstalls... surely it'd be less hassle just to buy the damn thing.

Nah, Its a nice quick un/install.

MrNuked · 26-05-2003 7:53pm

the concept of downloading pirated software may be a bit complex for a retarded gibbon to understand, let alone consider the moral and legal issues involved.

I liked adom. Roguelike game.

I wish to dispute this

www.irfanview.com

Tiny little app, has a block of plug-ins for it too for various other formats.

Bloody excellent piece of software.

Captain Trips · 26-05-2003 11:04pm

I'd say PSP 4 or other early versions were better image viewers. Very quick.

best piece of software you have downloaded
