additional apps are being nominated. Will you be putting in a secondary
list for consideration at some point?

I think this was the most recommended converter on the board last year.
It converts a wide range of audio formats quickly. A new version will
be out soon. There was some indication on the board that the mp3 codec
was going to require a fee. There is no indication of that notes on the
software site.

Clint said:Net Transport is the download manager with a difference -- all of the
best features rolled into one lightweight package. Some key features:
* Threaded downloading, of course. The program comes limited to 10
threads to start with, but the author includes instructions (changing
a Registry value) to remove this limit for power users.
* Full proxy support, including support for each download thread using
a different proxy to get around sites which restrict the number of
concurrent downloads per IP address.
* A complete lack of spyware (getting hard to find in a good download
manager nowadays!)
* A fairly small memory footprint compared to say, LeechGet
* The ability to use segmented downloading with streaming media links
such as Windows Media and Realplayer. Net Transport will
automatically parse .asf or .smil files to find the actual streaming
URLs, then start saving the actual files in a non-streaming format on
your hard drive.
* All of the expected scheduling features, such as shutdown computer
when finished, disconnect when finished, etc.
* Minimize to tray
* Configurable bandwidth limiter
* Optional drop-zone feature which accepts links dragged from your
favorite browser
* Optional IE download integration
I highly, highly recommend this download manager. It manages to have
the most features I've ever seen in one program of its type and a
great interface, while maintaining a small memory footprint and being
rock-solid stable. It has since gone shareware, but I have the last
freeware version available for download at my site. The streaming
media download functions are especially impressive -- they're not a
common feature for segmented downloaders. Hope this makes the list!
