just FYI, This used to give me hard time back then when i was a torrent user..i liked Utorrent more, because it gives me much better D speed.
Nowadays am using NZBsabd+ with newshosting UseNet provider, I’ve never been happier.

I've never had a problem with it. Some times rare stuff barely moves or doesn't download at all, but when most things I get speeds as high as my internet cap. Also Vuze is the most widely used torrent application currently available, so that must mean something

SrtFix

Here's another little quickie I knocked off. Should work in all flavors of Windows, XP and later.

It's called SrtFix. The only .srt subtitle problem it fixes is time lines that have periods instead of commas in the milliseconds column on the time lines. It can be a pain to substitute only on certain lines in a text editor. SrtFix only does the substitution on lines that have "-->" string in the line, which indicates a time interval for the subtitle. If it finds a period it replaces it with a comma.

Usage: SrtFix filename.srt

output is filename.srt.fixed

the original .srt file is not changed.

You can download here:

As usual, it's free for you to use at your own risk, but donations are appreciated.

i've just come across Programmer's Notepad - a free open-source text editor packed with useful features, including tabbed documents, explorer browser, extensive syntax highlighting, powerful search/replace features and lots more cool stuff.

i've tried a few notepad replacements, and I think this is the best of the bunch. if you're a coder and/or have to edit lots of text files, give this a try!

Thank you Angelo Programmer's Notepad added.

Ant Renamer

antp.be > Software > Ant Renamer

There's no two ways about it: renaming files can be a pain in the neck. By extension, renaming a bunch of files is a BIG pain in the neck. There are several tools out there that can help make the process bit easier, but in our experience most of them remove some but not all of the aforementioned pain.
Ant Renamer seems to have several features not shared by all the available tools, several of which may actually be useful. For example, it can access MP3 ID Tags from your audio files, meaning that you can end up with file names that add actual information to your files. It can also pull EXIF data from image files, making those filenames smarter as well. In addition, you can use regular expressions in choosing and naming files, allowing you almost unlimited power in your renaming schemes. It's available in nearly a dozen different languages, and supports Unicode characters, so you aren't restricted to only Latin alphabets.

FYI: You should add VBox, ExtractNow,SpeedFan. These are also great programs that I use all the time

You can add Hydrogen for the musicains, the installer for windows is still experimental but works great on my system:

Hydrogen is an advanced drum machine for GNU/Linux (and Windows). It's main goal is to bring professional yet simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming.

RealWorld Cursor Editor
RealWorld Cursor Editor - make animated cursors

Allows you to make new windows mouse cursors, including animated ones. It can also be used to make transparent BMPs for windows start buttons instead of relying on Photoshop layers. Open the picture, draw alpha on it, save as a BMP.

 

[Brink]

Thank you Tannim. Added.

Gotta tell you that Firefox has been consistently buggy for me on both my Vista and Win7 machines. It's great for most sites I work with, and I love the variety available for personalization. There are some sites, however, that just won't link out correctly, usually opening a 1x1.jpg of despair, or just crashing altogether. It also will occasionally leave a remnant running after exiting the program, which you have to terminate through task man, or a log off. Still, anything but MS, please :sarc:.

HxD
HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor | mh-nexus

The best freeware hex editor. Handles large files, can choose bit grouping, even allows you to display as ASCII, something a lot of windows hex editors fail to offer.

NetworkActive WebServer 3.5
Home of NetworkActiv Web Server (NAWS)

A server program from 2005 that is far easier to set up than apache, works well, though is not being updated anymore.

HD Parm
Index of /hdparm

Practically required for laptops whose hard drives come with overly aggressive firmware power save settings. Allows you to turn up or down the hard drive's power save feature from max saving to completely turning it off. "HDPARM -B 255 hda" will disable power saving and stop the constant hard drive clicking when the drive is not being accessed. A linux program adapted to windows so it is CMD line only. Must be run every time windows is reset. Make a batch file and put it in startup to save time.
