Local website archive

Local Website Archive Lite version 1.22

Interface: 3
Features: 3
Ease of use: 4
Value: 5
Overall:

I, originally, tried this program and had some problems with it...but after reading some of the other reviewer comments, I decided to test it on a different one of my PCs. This program is pretty good, originally, I had another browser tool installed that was interfering with this one. I would recommend trying this tool. It's pretty good...and so is the cost! (smile).

Textview is my favorite text viewer. Although one can't edit with Textview, it has enough other goodies to compensate for THAT! It's VERY versatile...play with it and you'll see a few "nice" surprises!

After my eyes started bothering me from the monitor's "contrast" levels...I tried a variety of tools to handle the problem. Although I've noticed that the type of monitor AND the type of graphic card are both involved...this lil' Gamma Panel is the best program I've come across to assist my viewing pleasure and prevent the headaches ! This lil' baby is SUPER!

Fresh download

Fresh Download version 7.34

Interface: 3
Features: 2
Ease of use: 3
Value: 5
Overall:

I tried it, simply because I respect the "Fresh" group. But I've yet to see ANY download manager speed up my dial-up connection's downloads. (And I've tried a whole bunch of 'em). (Maybe it's my location...or somethin')? This one is as good as the others I've tried...no worse. Maybe other people have had speed-ups with it...but it didn't do anything for me! A plus: it didn't screw-up my system ... like some others have!
