   Review - Internet Download Accelerator

   5.2.1.1057 (Mar 11, 2007)

   During the last 2 years I've been trying off and on to get this software to work... and I've given up now. The installer won't even start on my new Vista laptop. There's ALWAYS new and old unfixed bugs with every release. On occasion it works very well, speed is good and it usually gets the correct download link thru form buttons and unusually difficult html pages. The most annoying bug is that at least once a day it will seriously put a bug up my computers "inner workings". What happens is that I can't browse the internet (getting only blank pages), programs won't start, can't even start taskmanager to kill the ida.exe process! It won't download from https sites without file errors and it WILL corrupt that 1Gb media file your downloading! I've been posting at the support forum, but without response. I actually bought the software in sept 2006 because of it's feature that can name the download folder to the current date. Brilliant! If somebody knows another download manager who can do that, PLEASE TELL! I'm thru with this one!

   Review - USB Mouserate Switcher

   1.0 (Jan 16, 2005)

   Wouldn't it be great if, for once, programmers could communicate the use of their work??? I'm really grateful that there is freeware, open source etc. but I can't remember the thousands of times I found some software that I probably could make use of, only to surf away from the site beacuse the programmer neglected to sum up the *why should I use it*, *what is it for* and *how do I use it*. ...and once again, before the flaming starts, I am truly grateful that there is freeware but come on, if not fame *and* fortune there still is *fame* left towards the creator and if I could program, I'd at least set my goals towards the fame part, and that would be my payment. Therefore I'd have to accept complaints on my work. I would also try to spread the code to as much people as possible and at the same time tell them what they need it for...

   Hey, Lawyers have to feed their young too... or maybe they feed on them!?
   
   Really, at some point in time the music and film industry zombies have to wake up and join us in this century. They need a new business model that deals with globalization and new technology.
   
   The CD is dead, long live the CD. The same applies to terrestrial radio broadcast. I still listen to it in my car, though.
   
   These idiots should really go back to their business manuals and have another look at the supply and demand chapter and especially focus on the what-to-do-if-there's-a-demand explanation...
