I downloaded this program for a trace-route function as I was having a problem with a poor Internet connection. Within seconds it showed where the problem was and who was the culprit. It has the facility to monitor route performance over time, which is very useful as performance can vary. All-in-all a useful and well crafted application. I like it.

This looks a really good program and to be fair it behaves itself most of the time. I have a lot of pdf files and sometimes it just cannot index a particular file and just hangs not doing anything. Not crashing, but not indexing either... I have reported this to Copernic but would appreciate if anyone else has similar issues.

The idea is good as the program sets out to do a great many things from filtering RSS feeds through to data alerts. I found stability weak, as the program repeatedly crashed when certain facilities were selected (Win XP Pro). The "archive" screen set up is good, although the opening screen should be less in-you-face and more workmanlike with a more intuitive feel. I await version 1.0 when the bugs have been sorted out. The program would then be a truly execellent RSS tool with a great deal of really useful features.

A useful tool for gathering information about DVDs. It also has a useful Excel export function to create you own DVD database.
