You're a busy bee atm, innit?

Yup - Whew! :)
I put a nominations post in based on your original list. Since then
additional apps are being nominated. Will you be putting in a secondary
list for consideration at some point?

Or will you be doing the drink beer, watch tv thing? :)

I'm more likely to drink something else, *read* something. ;)

I may post a list *later* (much later) of programs that haven't been
nominated or seconded. For now this is the procedure:

To nominate or second "mew" programs post the program name and the
program ID number in the Nominations thread.

When a post says that an app is eligible for nomination the program name
and URL are shown. Copy the necessary info and post your nomination in
the Nominations thread.

for example copy this:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/PL2005SYSTEMUTILITIES.php#3559

myEasySync

the ID numBer is at the end of the URL

YOUR NOMINATIONS POST:

--------------

I nominate

myEasySync (#3559)

--------------

Visit the Nominations page for the latest info on which apps have
already been nominated and seconded. (Remember that you can sort on the
N and S columns.)

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2005/2005PL-Nominations.php

The info there is current as of this minute. . .

490 nominations and seconds so far (more than one second for some apps).

01 PROGRAM NAME: Net Transport
02 WARE DESCRIPTION: (Freeware) (last Freeware version)
03 OS-WIN: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
04 OS-NOTES:
05 OS-OTHER:
06 LANGUAGES: many (see http://www.xi-soft.com/download.htm)
07 DESCRIPTION AND NOTES

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

17 LINK DESCRIPTION: Page that has last freeware version of program
18 LINK: http://pad.olsonnetwork.com/downloads/

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!

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.

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!

Now available for nomination:

Net Transport
(Freeware) (last freeware version)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
Languages: English
Description: Net Transport is a fast and powerful download tool. You may
use it to download files from Internet servers. Net Transport supports
HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, MMS (Microsoft Media Services) and RTSP (Real-Time
Streaming Protocol) - five protocols used to transfer data. It can use
multiple threads to download files (this feature is supported for HTTP,
FTP, MMS and RTSP protocols). If a sites allows multithreaded downloads,
you can expect much faster speeds. This is especially effective for MMS
streams, because they use a fixed transmission speed and loading several
streams of the same file fully uses your Internet bandwidth. RTSP also
can use multiple threads to shorten download time, in addition, you can
check 'Streaming/Delivery Bandwidth' to use TurboPlay feature of
RealNetworks to accelerate delivery. Another feature of Net Transport -
File Manager - helps you to be aware of the downloaded file locations
even if you are using numerous folders to store them.

Hi Clint,

Please review the web page description and tell me if it is accurate or
if changes are required.

I couldn't tell what info in your description applied to the last
freeware version and what applied to the current shareware version. In
particular, could you please check and tell me what languages are
available in the last freeware versions?

NOTES. . .

The form is laid out to let me "cut and paste" into the database - one
item after another. Please format "07 DESCRIPTION AND NOTES" information
into a paragraph.

Looking at a few progam descriptions on the web pages should answer many
questions about what goes where.

"06 LANGUAGES" is for languages that are available (if a separate
language pack download is needed for some of the languages that should
be noted). That info is near the top of the description.

"14 LANGUAGE" is for those case where two or more files are available
and the language of the *files* is different XnView is one example of
this situation. IOW - if you are English speaking you download one file,
if you speak French you download a *different* file.
