Most defragmentation tools only let you defrag the whole drive. Defraggler gives you the power to select individual files and folders to defrag. So you can get the job done in seconds, rather than waiting for the whole drive to complete. Of course if you want to defrag the whole drive Defraggler will let you do that too.
Defraggler was written in the same compact architecture as other Piriform products (CCleaner and Recuva). This results in a compact single EXE application, which can be copied to a thumbdrive and then used whenever you need it, without a complex installation process. The EXE itself is less than 1MB!
Defraggler supports all OSs released since Windows 2000, this includes Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista. 64-bit support has also just been added! Additionally Defraggler supports both NTFS and FAT32 file systems.
After analysis Defraggler lists all the fragmented files on the drive. Selecting one or many will highlight their location on the disk. Allowing you to visually see the location of files on the disk.
Why pay hundreds of dollars for a commercial defragmentation tool, when you can use Defraggler for free! This includes corporate use as well!

KeePass Password Safe Current Version:
KeePass Password Safe 1.11

KeePass Password Safe Changelog:

* Master key transformations (rounds) are now computed in two threads; on dual/multi core processors this results in almost twice the performance as before (by doubling the amount of rounds you'll get the same waiting time as in 1.10, but the protection against dictionary and guessing attack is doubled).

* On Windows Vista, some of the message boxes are now displayed as modern task dialogs.

* Database files are now verified (read and hashed) after writing them to disk (in order to prevent data loss caused by damaged/broken devices and/or file systems).

* When saving databases to removable media, KeePass now tries to lock and unlock the volume, which effectively flushes all system caches related to this drive (this prevents data loss caused by removing USB sticks without correctly unmounting in Windows first; but it only works when no other program is using the drive).

* Improved database file writing algorithm (small block writes and explicit flushing).

* The system's INI cache is now flushed before copying the temporary global INI file to the application directory (improves Windows 95 / 98 / ME compatibility).

* Added placeholders for referencing fields of other entries (dereferenced when starting URLs and performing auto-type, see the auto-type placeholders documentation).

* Added natural sorting (when sorting the entry list, KeePass now performs a human-like comparison instead of a simple lexicographical one; this sorts entries with numbers more logically; only supported with ShlWApi/IE 6.0.2800).

* Added pattern placeholder 's' to generate special characters of the printable 7-bit ASCII character set.

* KeePass now locks when the system is suspending (if the option for locking on locking Windows or switching user is enabled).

* Added a 'Tools' button menu in the entry editing dialog.

* Tools button menu: Added command to select an application for the URL field (will be prefixed with cmd://).

* Tools button menu: Added command to select a document for the URL field (will be prefixed with cmd://).

* Tools button menu: Added command to insert a placeholder into the URL field.

* Tools button menu: Added command to select an auto-type target window (a dialog will be opened, in which you can select an existing currently-opened window; an appropriate auto-type definition will be added in the notes field).

* Several entry context menu commands are now only enabled if applicable (if the user name field of an entry is empty, the 'Copy User Name' command is disabled, etc.).

* A " - Copy" suffix is now appended to duplicated entries.

* After duplicating entries, the new entries are selected.

* Added ability to sort entries based on UUIDs.

* Added advanced option to focus the entry list after a successful quick search (toolbar; disabled by default).

* Added support for large translation/language files.

* Added option to always allow full access through remote control (disabled by default, and marked with "not recommended").

* Added radio buttons for removing the expiry time from entries in the mass-modify dialog.

* Added generic Wiki and '$' client icons.

* Added certificate and mobile phone client icons (thanks to oppitronic).

* Added ability to specify the minimum length and minimum estimated quality that master passwords must have (see help file -> Features -> Composite Master Key; for admins).

* Added interface for writing master password requirements validation plugins (see the KPM_VALIDATE_MASTERPASSWORD message).

* Added interface for writing entry validation plugins (see the KPM_VALIDATE_ENTRY message).

* Added interface for writing generated passwords validation plugins (see the KPM_VALIDATE_GENPASSWORD message).

* Added plugin interface for storing custom data in KeePass KDB databases (for example some history, logging, ...).

* Plugins can now execute auto-type (KPC_AUTOTYPE).

* Added ability to specify a window title suffix in the INI file (KeeWindowTitleSuffix).

* Added more simple and robust plugin interface for editing and deleting entries.

* The dialog banner text color can be changed in the INI file now (KeeBannerColorText, set to BGR-Quad).

* The gradient direction in dialog banners can now be specified in the INI file (KeeBannerFlip).

* In mini mode, no passwords are generated automatically for new entries.

* In mini mode, clicking the 'Generate Password' button in the entry window immediately generates a new password based on the automatic generation profile, instead of showing the password generator dialog.

* In mini mode, the URL field is replaced by a combo box, in which you can select one of the plugin-provided user applications (KPM_USERAPP_GETFIRST and KPM_USERAPP_GETNEXT).

Download iTunes 7.6.2.9
iTunes is an audio player for playing and organizing digital music files, and purchasing digital music files in the FairPlay digital rights management format. The iTunes Music Store is the component of iTunes through which users can purchase digital music files from within iTunes.
Users are able to organize their music into playlists, edit file information, record compact discs, copy files to a digital audio player, purchase music on the Internet through its built-in music store, run a visualizer to display graphical effects in time to the music as well as encode music into a number of different audio formats.
iTunes includes the Quicktime Player installer.
iTunes Main Features:
Users are able to organize their music into playlists within one or more libraries, edit file information, record compact discs, copy files to a digital audio player, purchase music and videos through its built-in music store, download podcasts, back up songs onto a CD or DVD, run a visualizer to display graphical effects in time to the music, and encode music into a number of different audio formats. There is also a large selection of internet radio stations to listen to.
In addition to static playlist support, iTunes supports 'Smart playlists'. Smart playlists are playlists that can be set to update automatically (live updating, like a database query) based on a customized list of selection criteria. Different criteria can be entered to control many aspects of the playlist.
iTunes keeps track of songs by creating a virtual library, allowing users to access and edit a song's attributes. These attributes, known as metadata, are stored in two library files.
iTunes users may choose to view their music and video libraries in one of three ways: as a list, as a list with accompanying album artwork, or as a side-scrolling catalog of album artwork, which bears the marketing name Cover Flow.
To compensate for the lack of a physical CD, iTunes can print custom-made jewel case inserts as well as song lists and album lists. After burning a CD from a playlist, one can select that playlist and bring up a dialogue box with several print options. The user can choose to print either a single album cover (for purchased iTunes albums) or a compilation cover (for user-created playlists). iTunes then automatically sets up a template with art on one side and track titles on the other.
An iMix is a user-created playlist published in the iTunes Store. iMixes were first introduced in iTunes version 4.5. Anyone can create an iMix free of charge. iMixes are limited to 100 songs and must feature content available on the iTunes Store. iMixes are public and searchable by any iTunes user. Users may also rate any iMix using a five-star system. iMixes are active for one year from their original published date. Users can publish their iTunes iMix to their blog, profile page or website such as Yahoo! 360, Facebook, or MySpace.
iTunes 1.0 came with support for the Kerbango Internet radio tuner service, giving iTunes users a selection of some of the more popular online radio streams available.[8] When Kerbango went out of business in 2001, Apple created its own Web radio service for use with iTunes 2.0 and later.As of February 2008, the iTunes radio service features 1795 "radio stations," mostly in MP3 streaming format. Programming covers many genres of music and talk, including streams from both internet-only sources as well as streamed traditional stations. iTunes also supports the .pls and .m3u stream file formats used by Winamp, enabling iTunes to access almost any stream using that format.
iTunes 7 can currently read, write, and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC, and Apple Lossless.
iTunes can also play any audio files that QuickTime can play (as well as some video formats), including Protected AAC files from the iTunes Store and Audible.com audio books. There is limited support for Ogg and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (FLAC files are not playable) or Speex codecs with the Xiph QuickTime Components - because tag editing and album art is done within iTunes and not Quicktime, these features will not work with these quicktime components. iTunes currently will not play back HE-AAC/aacPlus audio streams correctly. HE-AAC/aacPlus format files will play back as 22 kHz AAC files (effectively having no high end over 11 kHz). HE-AAC streaming audio (which a number of Internet Radio stations use) will not play back at all.

Winamp is a fast, flexible, high-fidelity music and video player for Windows. Winamp supports MP3, CD, WAV and other audio formats, custom appearances called skins, plus audio visualization and audio effect plug-ins. additional features including free-form skins, a new decoder, built-in cross fade, and an advanced Media Library
Winamp Main Features:
Besides MP3, Winamp supports a very wide variety of contemporary and specialized music file formats, including MIDI, MOD, MPEG-1 audio layers 1 and 2, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV and Windows Media Audio. Winamp was one of the first common music players on Windows to support playback of Ogg Vorbis by default. It supports gapless playback for MP3 and AAC, and Replay Gain for volume levelling across tracks. In addition, Winamp can play and import music from audio CDs, optionally with CD-Text, and can also burn music to CDs.
Winamp supports playback of Windows Media Video and Nullsoft Streaming Video. For MPEG Video, AVI and other unsupported video types, Winamp uses Windows' DirectShow API for playback, allowing most of the same video formats as Windows Media Player. 5.1 Surround sound is supported where formats and decoders allow.
Winamp has extensive support for plugins. Input plugins allow Winamp to play additional media formats, while output plugins enable additional features such as sound effects (via DSP plugins) and visual effects (notably Advanced Visualization Studio, or AVS, and MilkDrop). Other plugins included in the installer bundle activate features such as global hotkeys. The plugins enable can be selected during installation due to Winamp's use of NSIS to package the application.
Winamp is an early and popular example of application skinning. Winamp 5 continues to support Winamp 2's "classic" skins (static collections of bitmap images) and Winamp3's more flexible "modern" skins, which can be freeform with true alpha channel transparency and controlled by scripting.

Winamp supports many types of streaming media. Its SHOUTcast technology provides free access to Internet radio and Internet television, and Winamp can also access XM Satellite Radio, In2TV classic television programs, and AOL Video content. It can access the Singingfish audio/video search engine, and SHOUTcast Wire provides a directory and subscription system for podcasts.
Winamp's media library contains support for Unicode metadata for media files, and full Unicode filename support.
Winamp has extendable support for portable media players. Device plugins are currently included for iPods and Creative NOMADs, Mass Storage Compliant devices, and the Microsoft PlaysForSure and ActiveSync technologies for devices such as those running Windows Mobile.
In more recent versions of Winamp, support has been added to allows users to share their media library to their gaming consoles on the same network through Winamp Remote. This was created through a partnership with Orb. The same extension allows users to access their media library anywhere with an internet connection.

Download ImgBurn 2.4.1.0
ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit!

ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.
ImgBurn supports Unicode folder/file names, so you shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an international character set.
ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista and 2008 (including all the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes.
ImgBurn's a very flexible application with several advanced features that are often lacking in other tools, especially when it comes to burning DVD Video discs. It supports all the latest drives without the need for updates (including booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).
There is an image queue system for when you're burning several images (which you can automatically share between multiple drives if you have more than one) and an easy-to-use layer break selection screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed feature allows you store your favourite burn speed settings on a per 'Media ID' basis, right down to a drive by drive level. Data captured during the burn (write speed, buffer levels etc) can be displayed / analysed using DVDInfoPro.
Whilst ImgBurn is designed to work perfectly straight out of the box, advanced users will appreciate just how configurable it is.
Oh and let's not forget the best thing about it.... it's 100% FREE !

The interface redesign is definitely easier to navigate, and users can now choose to email the PDF instantly after its creation.

FileZilla is known to be fairly fast, and can also resume downloads and handle very big transfers, I'm talking here higher than 4 GB.

FileZilla also includes a tool to compare directories in terms of file size or modification time.
The FileZilla application can guide you when setting up your network and lets you set speed limits in case you don't want to overload your bandwidth.
One thing really missing from FileZilla though is a scheduler to automatically set transfer times.

Winamp is a fast, flexible, high-fidelity music and video player for Windows. Winamp supports MP3, CD, WAV and other audio formats, custom appearances called skins, plus audio visualization and audio effect plug-ins. additional features including free-form skins, a new decoder, built-in cross fade, and an advanced Media Library.
Winamp Main Features:

Besides MP3, Winamp supports a very wide variety of contemporary and specialized music file formats, including MIDI, MOD, MPEG-1 audio layers 1 and 2, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WAV and Windows Media Audio. Winamp was one of the first common music players on Windows to support playback of Ogg Vorbis by default. It supports gapless playback for MP3 and AAC, and Replay Gain for volume levelling across tracks. In addition, Winamp can play and import music from audio CDs, optionally with CD-Text, and can also burn music to CDs.

Winamp supports playback of Windows Media Video and Nullsoft Streaming Video. For MPEG Video, AVI and other unsupported video types, Winamp uses Windows' DirectShow API for playback, allowing most of the same video formats as Windows Media Player. 5.1 Surround sound is supported where formats and decoders allow.

Winamp has extensive support for plugins. Input plugins allow Winamp to play additional media formats, while output plugins enable additional features such as sound effects (via DSP plugins) and visual effects (notably Advanced Visualization Studio, or AVS, and MilkDrop). Other plugins included in the installer bundle activate features such as global hotkeys. The plugins enable can be selected during installation due to Winamp's use of NSIS to package the application.

Winamp is an early and popular example of application skinning. Winamp 5 continues to support Winamp 2's "classic" skins (static collections of bitmap images) and Winamp3's more flexible "modern" skins, which can be freeform with true alpha channel transparency and controlled by scripting.

Winamp supports many types of streaming media. Its SHOUTcast technology provides free access to Internet radio and Internet television, and Winamp can also access XM Satellite Radio, In2TV classic television programs, and AOL Video content. It can access the Singingfish audio/video search engine, and SHOUTcast Wire provides a directory and subscription system for podcasts.

Winamp's media library contains support for Unicode metadata for media files, and full Unicode filename support.

Winamp has extendable support for portable media players. Device plugins are currently included for iPods and Creative NOMADs, Mass Storage Compliant devices, and the Microsoft PlaysForSure and ActiveSync technologies for devices such as those running Windows Mobile.

In more recent versions of Winamp, support has been added to allows users to share their media library to their gaming consoles on the same network through Winamp Remote. This was created through a partnership with Orb. The same extension allows users to access their media library anywhere with an internet connection.

Orbit Downloader Review

2008-03-25T05:24:00.002Z

Orbit Downloader review from downloader.com's editor
Downloading videos, Flash games, and large batches of files is greatly simplified with this freeware download manager, but Firefox 2 users may have difficulty with integration.

Orbit's primary interface is bland, but the basic toolbar and info boxes guarantee everything is easy to find. Orbit shines with Internet Explorer integration. To get a media file, simply right-click a video or photo and choose Download from your context menu. Grabbing a Flash game is even easier. Hover over a Flash file, and Orbit displays a button for a fast download.

Fast and small are key traits of this application. It uses a bare minimum of memory, and downloads are much faster than with a browser alone. Where Orbit shines is its one-button simplicity for downloading multiple files on a site. From there, you can easily filter for file type. Orbit's numerous configuration options make it one of the more flexible download managers available.

Although designed to integrate with the IE, Firefox, Opera and Maxthon, we had great difficulty getting Orbit to work seamlessly with Firefox. We finally gave up trying to get the Flash download feature to work. Nevertheless, anyone downloading large numbers of files will find this freeware indispensable.

BitTorrent 6.0

2007-09-27T07:10:00.000Z

BitTorrent 6.0

New BitTorrent 6.0
BitTorrent has just made it even easier to publish your own media creations with the launch of an exciting new self-publishing platform. The project, which is currently invitation only, assigns genres, tags, a Creative Commons license, and other details to any original content that you upload. There’s even the chance to hit the bigtime - editors will review submitted work for listing alongside major motion pictures and studio releases. Networks and labels already involved include MTV, Sub Pop Records and 20th Century Fox.

According to BitTorrent, uploaders will have exposure to an audience of around 150 million BitTorrent users and be given a hefty limit of 3 GB per upload. You can upload virtually any type of content including videos, audio and even software via a simple drag & drop publishing interface. If you’re new to media publishing, this is a highly recommended way of getting started - just submit your e-mail and details on the BitTorrent website and cross your fingers you are one of the lucky winners.

The torrent phenomenon is one of the most hyped about in the world of technology among Peer to Peer (P2P) users. It consists of sharing large files, like movies, software, or games anonymously and quickly with other peers. The file you want to download is cut up into small segments shared by users, creating what is called a swarm, and does not go through a central server, significantly reducing the bulk of file transfers, The Bittorrent client is actually the first P2P application to use this technology and became immensely popular when it was released. Torrents are considered by online users as a great way to download recently released movies or tv shows.

Thanks to a straightforward, uncluttered interface Bittorrent appears as a friendly torrent client that beginners will feel comfortable with. We particularly appreciated the integrated search box to look for files on the bittorrent website. Once you've found the torrent you want, download it to your PC, open it up inside Bittorrent and let the client do its job. The speed at which you download will depend on the number of seeds, that is people who have the complete file and are sharing it. The more seeds there are the quicker files will download.

You can set multiple torrent downloads and the downloading speed is fairly quick. It's easy to configure the client and we suggest choosing the right port and setting upload and download rate limits to avoid hogging your bandwidth. It's also good to set your downloads by priority to monitor more precisely how your torrents are doing.

Compared to the exhaustive Azureus, Bittorrent is very simplistic. It doesn't provide half as many statistics and doesn't let you customize the interface. Integrating a search box is a great idea, but it limits searches to the bittorrent website, not considered the most thorough source by torrent aficionados.

If you're a newbie to the torrent world, Bittorrent is a good bet. It's safe, stable and sharp. Associated with the huge database of legal torrents that is the bittorrent website, it makes for a very rich P2P experience. Advanced users will probably frown upon its lack of options but others should give it a try.

IBM Lotus Symphony Beta1

2007-09-27T07:05:00.000Z

IBM Lotus Symphony Beta1
How is Lotus Symphony different?

You're in charge! Lotus Symphony is based on the Open Document Format (ODF) standard-which means you're not locked into proprietary file formats, software licensing agreements and upgrades. Finally, free tools and freedom of choice!
Can Lotus Symphony handle my existing files?

With Lotus Symphony, you can import, edit and save a variety of file formats including Microsoft Office files. You can even export your documents to Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF). The tools work with computers running both Microsoft Windows and Linux- environments, with support for Apple Macintosh planned for the future.

About IBM Lotus Symphony Beta1
In the beginning was Microsoft Office. Then OpenOffice appeared as an open-source alternative. And now IBM makes a new move and offers its own productivity suite, all free of charge. The idea is not new: there have been a few free suites launched lately, but all of them were online. IBM Lotus Symphony is the only desktop suite that, together with OpenOffice, can offer a free alternative to Microsoft's proprietary apps.

IBM Lotus Symphony offers three tools: word processor, spreadsheet and presentations. The three of them are run under the same interface, which I particularly found very original and convenient. Simply click on the "Open" button and select the kind of document you want to open: the program's toolbar will change accordingly.

The suite includes all the basic tools that you could expect in such an application. However, menus and options seem to be messed up and sometimes it takes a while to get things done, especially in the Presentations app. Also, I had some stability issues when testing the word processor, which I attribute to its Beta status.

In my personal opinion, I'm glad to have another possibility to choose from when deciding which suite I'm going to use. A little rivalry is always good and usually produces better and wider options for computer users. That said, IBM can't rest on laurels; they should keep on working and improving Symphony if they're to keep their own place in the suite competition.
