Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition

Balanchine reviewed on 31 Dec 2011
Had to delete it as the Sophos Intercheck process was regularly running at 100% CPU, slowing down my whole Mac. After deletion a startup freeze problem also went away.

Pity, as Sophos seemed quite good at purging malware attachments on emails.

Back to ClamXav, I guess...

EasyFind

Balanchine reviewed on 24 Dec 2011
EasyFind "just works" in the way that Spotlight just doesn't.

An essential app.

The Unarchiver

Balanchine reviewed on 03 Dec 2011
Very useful. Was able to unzip an archive that had defeated Archive Utility, BetterZip and sArchiver.

Dropzone

Anyone thinking of buying this should be aware that post-1.0 updates will now only be available through the App Store - with no upgrade path for people who registered before the App Store release:

SteerMouse

Balanchine reviewed on 25 Oct 2011
I've been using this for 5 years on various Macs and various mice. Updates have all been free and I don't recall having any problems with it. Works fine with Lion and it recognizes all the buttons and sliders on my current Logitech mouse. For me it's an essential Mac utility.

Dropzone

Balanchine reviewed on 19 Oct 2011
I give it 5 stars just for making ImageShack so easy. I also use it for drag-and-drop FTP uploads, clearing stuff off my desktop, and for holding all those little utilities that I need fast access to but don't want cluttering up the Dock.

NZBVortex

Balanchine reviewed on 17 Sep 2011
I was a fan of SABnzbd+ (and still am) but NZBVortex has won me over. Lovely interface; very stable; quits and restarts nicely when I need to restart my Mac; has fewer unraring problems than SABnzbd; and the ability to search an nzb indexing site from within the app is very useful.

Some features I miss from SABnzdb+: the ability to search the download queue; the ability to see at a glance how old the "waiting" items are without clicking on each one individually; the ability to move an item instantly to the second position in the queue (so that I can prioritize it in a long queue without disturbing the current download); and the more advanced scheduling options in SABnzbd.

Some features I'd like: the ability to add personal notes to waiting items or to rename them; the ability to filter by "waiting for download"; and maybe some more options for the nzb search engine (e.g. categories).

None of these are deal-breakers, though. Congratulations to the developer for creating a really useful and well-designed app.

You're right - I completely missed that little search box in the filter bar. Thanks!

I realise there are several neat ways to prioritize the queue, but the one I was hoping to find is something like "Right Click -> Make this nzb the next one that downloads after the current one is finished". That's easy in SABnzbd, even if the nzb is at the end of a queue that's several hundred long.

I'll take a look at the issue tracker. Thanks again.

SABnzbd+

Balanchine reviewed on 16 Jul 2008
A fast and full-featured NZB-based Usenet client. It's a different concept from other Usenet apps (it works in the background and you configure it through a browser interface) but once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect sense.

Note to developer: Thanks for making the latest build 10.4 compatible. (I got a bit worried when I found that the previous release was 10.5 only).
