Perian

Threedee912 reviewed on 13 Nov 2010

Integrates with QuickTime, plays almost as many formats as VLC, and isn't as buggy.

A few minor file-type quirks, but other than that it's a great plugin.

[Version 1.2.1]

Transmission

Threedee912 tipped on 25 Oct 2009

Try decreasing the amount of connections it makes in the prefs. Some routers don't like it when apps like Transmission try to make 500 connections at a time. I have mine set to 250 without much of a slowdown.

Meant that as a reply to the comment below mine. Glitchy comment system?

StuffIt Expander 2011

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 16 Sep 2009

I have to say, although past versions have been bloated with ads for Deluxe or whatever, Stuffit has gotten better.

When extracting a file a simple progress bar appears, uses Growl, and opens virtually any archive thrown at it (especially those old binhex and sit files).

I use The Unarchiver myself, but I do admit Stuffit has done a decent job of improving their basic expander program.

[Version 13.0.3]

The Unarchiver

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 27 Aug 2009

Simple, easy to use, and free! Way better than Stuffit, although this one really old obscure rar file that was password protected didn't work.

[Version 2.0.1]

OpenCL Benchmark

ThreeDee912 tipped on 25 Aug 2009

Be sure you are running 10.6, as 10.5 doesn't have OpenCL support.

[Version V015]

Xtorrent

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 11 Aug 2009

Man, this thing is still being 'updated'? Nice looking interface and that's about it. Still buggy and crashes, and still banned on some trackers because it's still based on some old Transmission code. Not worth the $24.

I'd recommend the new versions of Transmission, or even uTorrent if you want the site search feature.

[Version 2.0v72]

Woops, I should say that the uTorrent search feature isn't the same as Xtorrent's so that's the only thing going for it.

Live

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 17 Jun 2009

The Photoshop of audio. Not much else to say. Lots of great features, but you have to know what you are doing to get the most out of it.

[Version 8.0.4]

VLC Media Player

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 30 May 2009

Pros: Can open virtually any type of video file. Free!

Cons: UI is a bit messy/unintuitive, and sometimes crashes randomly when seeking.

Result: A decent piece of open source software that has lots of features that are packed into a somewhat confusing interface that occasionally crashes.

[Version 1.0rc2]

Adobe Flash Player

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 24 Feb 2009

Flash has always been sllooowww on the Mac, and still is. Horrible frame rates on animations and games, and high CPU usage on videos.

This is another reason why we need to stick with open standards, like CSS3 animations, and HTML5 video elements.

[Version 10.0.22.87]

JollysFastVNC

ThreeDee912 reviewed on 19 Jan 2009

Nice and fast VNC client for Macs. Much faster than CotVNC. Only thing (slightly) bad about it is the interface which could use a little work.

[Version 0.96.82]

iPaint

ThreeDee912 had trouble on 01 Nov 2008

I'm running 10.4.11 on a PPC Mac, and I can't seem to make a new painting at all. When I open the app, it only shows a tool palette, and selecting "New Painting" from the menu doesn't do anything...?

[Version 1.6v6]

Runs fine now, I can create new paintings and draw perfectly.

Except some of the text is white-on-gray, which is pretty hard to read. I'm guessing it has something to do with Leopard's HUD windows?

OSS 3D

ThreeDee912 had trouble on 04 Jan 2007

Does this really work on 10.3? I've installed it, opened the app, and then it instantly crashed. Edited the Dock as well. I have no clue why.

[Version 2.09]

Google Notifier

ThreeDee912 had trouble on 22 Aug 2006

Help! I still am using 10.3.9, and deleted the old Gmail Notifier because I didn't know the new version was for 10.4 only! Does anyone know where to get the old version?
