A List of Apps, Reviewed

[Qarl]

I have to cast my vote for IZArc. :) I've used it for quite some time now and never had any problems and it packs/unpacks more file types than anything I've ever seen.

I highly recommend against TuneUp Utilities to anyone who doesnt want their computer settings messed up, or want full control over your settings.

TUGZip has too many bugs :no:

[Slimy]

^ I haven't see any yet... and I've been using it for quite a while.

TUGzip is an amazing software, I've been using it for god knows how long.

[rpsgc]

It doesn't support password protected RAR archives, and doesn't properly extract archives in folders with non-English characters in its name. As for the rest I don't know since they didn't affect me. But the general consensus on many websites is that TUGZip still has too many bugs, and I for one agree (the author himself concurs).

[Slimy]

^ Thanks for the info, but those are pretty specific bugs. However, until I find free software that can do .rar, .iso and many other archives as fast as Tugzip, I won't be changing. I haven't personally had problems with it, and I expect that v4 will be much better as they have been working on it for quite a while.

AFAIK most of the bugs will be sorted out, yes. But I don't think it'll be able to open password protected RAR archives anytime soon :no: :( For that matter I have to use 7-zip or ZipGenius.

I've got an update coming up in a few days, nothing major. I'm considering making an html version of the list, what do you guys think?

For what purpose?

[Slimy]

Well if noone's interested, then I won't, but I was thinking it would be clearer and easier to manage.

Nice review.

[stone80a]

Great idear with an HTML list instead. I use many of your recommended programs, so all thumbsup from me to your list.

[rpsgc]

HTML list eh? Hmm... I guess that'll be beneficial :shiftyninja:

[Slimy]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will probably make the html version a side-project for this summer. The reason it will be available so late is that I am very busy nowadays, with school and all. However, I will continue on with the updates! :)

TuneXP is my only used software....cannot tell a differance on with system.

But on the older 1.9Ghz p4 it makes a amazing proformances change and boots fasters then my system =[ damn it!

Slimy, got a comment on some of your reviews.

7-Zip now has support for .iso files so you can update that.

And Registry First Aid doesn't adds itself to the startup if you purchase it. I have it and it's a pretty damn good program.

[illicit]

Thanks for the reviews.

It was pretty helpful. :)

Nice list slimy; it's more help to me than the commercial sites like cNet etc.

[Clear]

Extremely good review slimy, you've opened up a lot of new and different software to me. Keep up the good work! :)

[Slimy]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will try to update the whole thread again in a while, school is starting to kick in again. Probably on the Victoria Long Weekend. However, I have updated the p2p section, thanks to mAcOdIn, our new forum mod :)

[apul]

Very good summary, guy. Sorry : slimy. I discovered a lot of software. :ike:

[CipherFlaw]
