Thoth

Rpaege commented on 10 Apr 2011

Usenet is very much alive and as popular as ever. Torrents are for chumps (and hated by traffic-shaping ISPs).

I used Thoth for years, but with the advent of NZB files and index engines, the need to download and browse Usenet headers is long past. I suppose this would be good for up-loaders though.

AOL Desktop

Rpaege commented on 04 Nov 2010

Just because once upon a time AOL outlived its usefulness doesn't mean that it can't reinvent itself into something worthwhile. I'm willing to try this with that in mind.

Skype

Rpaege commented on 04 Nov 2010

I love Skype, but no way I'm trying this until it's at least out of beta.

Little Snitch

Another week has come and gone and Little Snitch updates go on and on.

Just a comment about the frequency of updates. Nothing more. I didn't comment about the integrity of the developer, nor the usefulness of the software.

Parallels Desktop

Rpaege commented on 26 Oct 2010

So when is this out of beta? Think I'll wait for version 8, which should be out, oh, 18 months or so from now.

FileZilla

Rpaege reviewed on 14 Aug 2010

This doesn't support Open SSH keys - it converts them to proprietary PuTTY keys instead, which can be problematic for distribution to Mac users.

Also, the UI is a jumbled mess, with too much enabled by default. It can be VERY confusing for less experienced users.

Recommend using Cyberduck instead, as long your FTP serves supports Open SSH. Otherwise use this.

TotalFinder

Rpaege reviewed on 01 Aug 2010

I'm liking this hack. A lot. A source of continual frustration for me is the Finder. It's awkward and far less than optimal as tool of productivity. This unifies the interface in a way that makes for fast use of the Finder, instead of multiple windows. It's great with file servers in particular. I suppose a terminal-only geek would scoff, or the purest would sneer, but for the rest of us in the trenches we finally have a Finder that puts everything in one place.

This alpha version seems very stable.

Cyberduck

Rpaege commented on 23 Jul 2010

I wish it supported PUTTY keys.

[Version 3.5.1]

MacFusion

Rpaege commented on 13 May 2010

Will mount a server in 10.6.3, but with serious permissions problems which can prevent both downloads and uploads. Un-mounting, mounting doesn't solve the issue. Great idea but still fraught with problems.

MacPilot

Why should I upgrade

Adobe Flash Player

Rpaege had trouble on 23 Oct 2010

Videos not loading properly in any browser except Safari. Un-installed and reloaded v.10 and all is well again.

[Version 10.1.85.3]

Cyberduck

Rpaege had trouble on 21 Oct 2010

Still getting "remote sent corrupt MAC" when attempting to connect to a secure (stftp) server that uses PuTTY keys, even when actually using a PuTTY key. The work around is to use FileZilla instead.

DAVE

Rpaege had trouble on 18 Nov 2009

After experiencing serious problems with DAVE 8.0 in Snow Leopard - unfinished copies over SMB, disappearing files on SMB shares, errors deleting files on SMB shares - we were forced to uninstall DAVE. Once it was removed things returned to normal. Clearly DAVE 8.0 is not ready yet. Wait for the problems to be worked out first, as it is nearly unusable in its current state.

DAVE 7.1.2 works perfectly in Leopard.

I'm happy to report that after working with the developer, who was very helpful and responsive, DAVE 8.1 is working flawless for me now.

ThumbsUp

rpaege had trouble on 05 Mar 2009

I have used this for a long time now, and I hate to have to complain about such a great little free app, but it can't seem to do the first page of a PDF file if the file has more than one page. It always does the second page. Very annoying, but otherwise very use-able.

I should also add that ThumbsUp can't make a thumbnail with the EXACT same name of the original (with a different extension) and put it in the same place as the original. It either must change the name of the thumbnail, or put it in a separate folder, even if the file type changes. This adds unnecessary extra steps.
