  1. Review - µTorrent for Windows

    1.1.4 Build 239 (Oct 11, 2005)

    All the important features of Azureus, but with a 92kb C++ coded executable and almost no memory use this one beats Java-Azureus any time.

  2. Review - SysTrayX

    3.70.107 Beta (Jun 21, 2005)

    Simply the best way to control the Systray in ways that the internal function of XP just can't do.

    The second thing I put on after a fresh XP install. The first thing being Total Commander ;-)

  3. Review - Media Player Classic for Windows 2000/XP

    6.4.8.3 (Mar 1, 2005)

    Great media player, the best I would say. However, ASX support is still broken. It's nothing major for most people, but for me who integrate MPC with uICE to use my remote control, it is a major problem. I'm using 6.4.7.7 until this is fixed.

  4. Review - Agnitum Outpost Firewall

    1.0.1817 (Sep 20, 2004)

    Very good firewall, it does it's job. It passes all the tests I've run. Also, it's completly modular so if you don't require i.e. Logging you can disable it by renaming the *log.dll and thus decrease cpu load to less almost nothing.

  5. Review - BitComet (32-bit)

    0.54 (Aug 22, 2004)

    Very good, very impressive BT-client, but it's not quite *there* yet.

    It's missing...
    (1) RSS-support
    (2) The ability to "scan" a dir for fresh torrents and add them to the queue (like Azureus)
    (3) the ability to Open URLs directly from the program and not be forced to first download the torrent
    (4) better control of "Force Downloads" - now you must start them in the order they're sorted in the list.
    (5) the "set default" doesn't seem to work, or it is not working the way it's suppose to, because the "Add Task" dialog keeps popping up whenver a torrent is added, this makes automatic downloading with 3rd party RSS feed parsers impossible. The ability to add torrents silently is a must IMHO.
    (6) No Plugin support
    (7) U/D ratio doesn't seem to change when an upload reach 100%
    (8) No custom seed rules.

    On the cosmetic side it would be nice to be able to change the toolbar icons as the original are very ugly and incompatible with color-schemes darker than the original Windows XP/2000 one.
