Review - HarddiskOgg

I love it....
Review - PeerGuardian for Windows 2000/XP/2003
2.0 Beta6b (Dec 21, 2006)

Pros: I strongly disagree with anyone who says this program isn't worth it's salt if you don't use P2P apps. Even when I'm not running Limewire or Azureus, PG2 routinely blocks attempted HTTP probes by the likes of the Dept. of Labor as well as various other American, Chinese, Korean and South American governmental agencies. (no joke, try it yourself, you'll see)

Microsoft, something called the "asian data collection center", lol, is a constant HTTP threat, probing my computer at least 100 times a day!

PG2 imports list of IP ranges to block from the sourceforge website. In addition, you should try Blocklist Manager, for even more IP's that can be set to export to apps like PeerGuardian and ProtoWall, increasing their capability even further. As of right now, my PG2 is blocking nearly 3 billion addresses. Yes, I said "billion". 2,915,505,692 to be exact.

Without this program your computer is wide open....

Cons: It can be a pain in the ***** to deal with at times. You can set the tray icon to blink on probes (HTTP recommended, not TCP/UDP or it'll be blinking constantly). It will do this often, sometimes preventing you from loading the site you wish to visit. Other times, the site loads fine, and you'll see that PG2 just blocked a tracking probe that loaded w/the page.

When it blocks something legit, you have to open it up, click "history", "blocked", and find the address you want to allow. (you can try right-clicking on the adress as it flys by on the interface screen, but it's nearly impossible to catch them) You can allow it for 15 mins., an hour, or permanently.

The program would be greatly improved with the addition of either a right-click context option to allow the page you're trying to load, or a button on the interface to "allow last blocked".

But that's the only bad thing I'll say about it.
Review - Mozilla Firefox (v2) for Windows
2.0.0.1 (Dec 20, 2006)

Pros: Mozilla Firefox would have to be one of the best browser out there, I love the new feature of spell checking within the browser as I do enjoy posting on forums and the interface is quite refreshing.

Cons: The only problems is that several themes & extension which are supposts to be compatible with this version of Firefox tends to make the program a little bit buggy, However it must be taken into account that this is the first version of Firefox 2 so as time goes by this problem will be fixed as Mozilla takes the time to continue to update Firefox to make it an even better browser.
Review - µTorrent for Windows
1.6.1 Beta Build 483 (Dec 15, 2006)

Excellent performance. Uses less than 3 MB of RAM at most usually. Very stable. Has most of the features of any other client within this footprint including some Easter Eggs(not bad ones, good ones like ability to use an ipfilter.dat file, eliminating need for products like Peer Guardian). Accurate stats reporting and good hash checks. Respects private flag. Most of all, it finally respects your hard disk using a good disk cache, unlike earlier versions. This makes the client go from near perfect with a fatal flaw to as close to perfection as any BT client has ever achieved.
Review - UltraISO
8.5.1.1860 (Nov 18, 2006)

This is a good program. I've gotten mine cracked... I use this to make all my bootlegs. Every thing from dvds, cds, and games... Then I just use this ISO program to wrap it all up. So I can put it all up on bittorrent or gnutella...
