Thanks for the site! Hope you're planning on keeping it up cuz it's probably going to get a lot of hits now.

phpBB - website - Best free forums/community software for your domain!

Also, livelongandprosper - if you need web space or run out of bandwidth, i'll be glad to host it on my site too.

 

[y00ycdz]

If you can't keep that list up because of too many hits or whatever, lemme know, I could probably help

 

[Duck0fD3ath]

Well I didn't see this in LiveLongAndProsper's list, but Mozilla should be included as well. The best web browser on the net.

Whatever it is, I'm getting a Page Can't Be Displayed when I try to go to the list.

 

[y00ycdz]

Well here's a mirror for now, when his is back up i'll remove it, since its his creation, i'm sure he wants the hits

Athlex, that's just a link to the web page... i was looking for more of a text box in the browser to type in the word.. save a step (ie google toolbar)

LiveLongAndProsper--

Thanks much for the compilation. Good luck with the installs on your new system.

Now.....if you'll just come to my house and install them.

[LiveLongAndProsper]

Thanks y00ycdz & NccOps for the web space/bandwidth offer - I'll let you know if needed.

Sorry to those who couldn't reach the page earlier, our computer association server just got a new OS and there was probably some fine tuning/maintenance at the time.

The list has been updated less ~60k of MS bloat - still 100k fat, but getting better....

 

[randomlinh]

Wackget is a DL manager as well.. doesn't do splitting, but very small and light program for those of you w/ fast connections.. or who aren't in that much of a hurry to download. freeware.

 

[Athlex]

Not a program exactly, but cool nonetheless. Found this at www.cooltech.org:
Seems like lots of news sites link to the New York times site, but they require registration which is pretty lame. This site allows you to circumvent that with a random info generator. Helps protect your privacy and come up with some pretty funny results- check it out.

[Underclocked]

Figured these were on there but don't see them.

MB Probe and SpeedFan.

 

[OzzieGT]

Wow...strokeit is pretty nice, and so slowview is actually better than irfanview! It's almost identical to ACDsee!

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the best freeware web page editor out there...1st page 2000

 

[mariner]

randypj, you 'bout the laziest ATer t' ever come along And don't ask me to do it either! It's not that you don't have the time at work Take your laptop in t' work; install everything; image the drive; reload the image to your home box.

Now don't make me stop this car

We owe ya LiveLongAndProsper!

No... Effing... Way.

That has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen. THANKS!

 

[Chooco]

um.... i didn't read any of the previous posts so i will just list what i know
-1stPage2000 2.0 free HTML editor
-Download Accelerator Plus
-Gif Movie Gear create gif animations, this one is not free though
-Ad-Ware removes spyware for free
-Bandwidth Monitor not free but it's excellent
-TYPSoft FTP Server easy to use and free FTP server
-Apache HTTP Server run an HTTP server for free

 

[Athlex]

A couple people PMed me about some of these programs. Since E4M is no longer being distributed and you have to join a Yahoo group just to download The Proxomitron, I have mirrored them at my site. If anyone would like any other files posted LMK, and I'll see what I can do.

 

[c0rv1d43]

Agent Ransack is a really good search tool. I first learned about it when the search feature in WinXP RC2 went south on me last year. I still use it on the final release of the OS because I just like it better than the search tool that comes with WinXP -- even though I've managed to customize the WinXP search tool so that it isn't such a "dog".

[Vicken]

Here's two programs that are great!

Tinra - converts real video to uncompressed AVI Works good! Need a fast processor or it will take a long time to convert. Very small footprint. Command line but you can download a GUI for it.

Superjpg - nice picture organizer, viewer, and slideshow program, has small footprint

 

[BurnItDwn]

Linux (and other *nix variants)
nmap <> best port scanner out there
BitchX <> best IRC client out there
eggdrop <> Bot
oidentd <> so you can have identd behind ipmasq
VNC <> in case you need to access a pc across the network, and you are too lazy to walk
snort <> good sniffer

Windoze
SecureCRT <> my favorite ssh/telnet client
VNC <> in case you need to access a pc across the network, and you are too lazy to walk

 

[ProviaFan]

Dunno if someone has posted this already (and I'm too lazy to read through the entire thread), but I've fallen in love with proximitron. It takes care of all those annoying things about the web, like pop-under ads and such. It is very flexible, and you can write your own scripts for it (though I've not figured out how to do that yet ).

 

[astro]

Haven't seen this one listed....

Network Clipboard lets you send clipboard contents from one machine to another across the lan. Kind of handy at times.

Great thread BTW
