May we recommend..
No site does as good a job of helping you choose a freeware tool for a specific task than Gizmo's Freeware (otherwise known by us old-timers as Tech Support Alert).
The site is simply unrivaled in terms of recommendations for freeware, and if you ever find yourself asking what the best free windows utility is for a given task, it's *the* site to visit.
In each well-organized category, top alternatives are reviewed, rated, and ranked, and then discussed by all -- and reviews are frequently revisited and updated, which is a rarity.
In addition, Gizmo Richards himself has also long been a friend to freeware authors, helping to shine the light on new freeware tools, and a friend to us from the early days, helping to tell people about DonationCoder and our software -- and I am extremely honored to have had some of my tools recommended on the site.
I can't think of a better site to receive the first entry in our list of our Favorite Websites.

Size of Download in Firefox? Yes with an AddonHi all, Ever since i started using firefox, i would infrequently check the addons sections for addons that do things i wanted in firefox. A few days ago i found the second last one i was looking for, Secure Login, thanks to Carol Haynes. I am at a loss however, when trying to understand why there is no way to see the size of a file download in the download prompt, prior to actually downloading the file. This behavior is provided in other browsers, and is the last feature that my firefox is still lacking. If anyone is aware of such an addon, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could link me, because i cannot find one through the addon page or google. In case there happens to be any firefox addon gurus around, I imagine all that would be required for a plugin of this kind is that if the Content-Length header exists, display its value (properly formatted i guess) in the download prompt. Thanks, Ehtyar.
Read about the nice FireFox Addon found by Lashiec that solves this problem.. |

Instant Boss featured on LifehackerI'm sure a lot of you are familiar with InstantBoss by "our very own app103", a cool little utility that helps you write that report or read just another chapter by telling you when to work and when to take a break. It really works! Anyway, it was featured on the well-known and respected site Lifehacker today, as the featured Windows download! Apparently Lifehacker discovered Instant Boss through a blog called Mind. Congratulations, app, and expect a lot of traffic App's Apps! source: http://lifehacker.co...tant-boss-298550.php

Alternative to DesktopCoral: Hawkeye ShellInitThere is a strange DonationCoder.com program called DesktopCoral which invisibly blocks off some margin of your screen where maximized applications won't intrude. This is useful for people who use programs such as Samuraize which can then display info in these areas without programs entering this area. Here's a similar program called Hawkeye ShellInit, that has some extra features (including multiple margins), and is worth a look for anyone who uses Desktop Coral: http://www.hawkeyete...cts/freeware.htm#hsi Hawkeye ShellInit is a small, scriptable application that |

RightLoad: Great Free Context Menu Tool for Uploading Images to Ftp and more..This is something that could be very useful to you if you have an ftp account somewhere, because it automates not just the uploading, but the generation of links to share with others. A great alternative to using a free (image) hosting site if you have your own ftp. It's also got some very useful options like automatic thumbnail construction, and more. This is a donationware program, so if you use it, please consider sending the author a donation to support his work!! ps. this would be a perfect program to use with Screenshot Captor -- so that you can upload your images to an ftp simply by right-clicking on the images in the thumbnail browser. RightLoad is a small program that allows you to quickly upload files directly from a Windows folder to your server. Instead of using a complicated FTP client just to upload a few pictures, you just right-click on the files, select the server and target folder and RightLoad will do the rest for you. When all files have been uploaded, RightLoad will automatically generate a list of different links to the files, ready to be copied into your post or website.
