Hi Clif,

Nice write-up. A question and a couple of suggestions. . .

"Website - Freeware, Free Webservice" What is "Free Webservice"? IMO the
"front page" http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/ is a better place to
start.

(first paragraph) "It's difficult to find a better place to load up on
great freeware that has been tried and reviewed." maybe add: (get the CD).

Selected is a broader term. Selected means chosen and an election is a
*specific* way of making choices.

Thanks for the feedback Susan. I made the change to the PricelessWare
link. I'm also planning a follow up article next week. In that article
I will mention the CD and also mention uTorrent together so that people
are able to get the biggest bang for their buck. I didn't have room
last week.

So many things to write about. So little time to write. :-(

Best wishes to you and all of alt.comp.freeware.

Great! uTorrent is a winner.

Hi Clif,

Another great job. Thanks for featuring the PL2006 CD.

re YouSendIt.

IMO sending the file to yourself is preferable to furnishing other
peoples email addresses - send recipients the download URL that's
displayed on the web page (and emailed to you) (protects their privacy).

ACF participants sometimes upload files to YouSendIt and post the
download URL in the newsgroup - it's a very quick and easy way to share
a file.

Hi Susan,

You should be seeing a little traffic spike to the PL2006 CD page.
Infopackets newsletter (250,000 subscribers) just picked up the article
I submitted to them.

I see the number of bit torrent downloaders is increasing. Thanks for
spreading the word.

Hmm, I don't know much about torrents , and am not that much interested
beyond easy fixes
but after seeding about 800M on saturday utorrent did nada for a couple of
days , now
it just started again. with 1 peer.
Any ideas, quick hints, enlightenment on a plate?

Nope. I suspect you know as much or more about it than I do. I just open
uTorrent and look at the numbers. There always seem to be a fair number
of seeds (my contribution is very, very, very small since I'm on
dial-up). I saw a "biggish" increase for a couple of days - now the
number of peers downloading is lower (and fluctuating more). . . IOW -
the same thing you're seeing. . .

Maybe something to do with being a trackerless torrent, or bunnies
