Some of these will already be familiar, but > hopefully you will find some new favorites! > > *********************************************<snipped> An excellent list -- I have most of them, but I've made a note to look at some which I don't have. Just a couple of comments on three of the items: <snipped> > Ice Sword > http://www.xfocus.net/tools/200509/IceSword_en1.12.rar This URL has two "."s (usually regarded as suspicious) unless it is Linux, which would account for the .rar extension (I think). >K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.45): >http://www.free-codecs.com/download..._Codec_Pack.htm No problem downloading the pack, but when trying to download the page for later reference, I received an "invalid file name" message. Solved it by shortening the file name. >File Renamer >http://www.code.gr/filerenamer/ I don't use this one, but recommend NetOpener, on the same site. http://www.code.gr/netopener/ === Frank Bohan ¶ A girl with a plunging neckline keeps a man on his toes. |

DISREGARD THE WARNING
dfrog brought next idea :
> I just picked 'Ice Sword' to take a look at but as soon as I clicked on link, > something started to download............which was stopped and aborted v > quickly, not my favourite thing to happen > dfrog > Yeah...some of the links provided in my list are direct download links that start the download immediately. I guess that I didn't post a head's up about that. Sorry. |
