1Password	Oct 12 2009	JACQUES P. Coupled with DropBox, this is an incredible multi-Mac multi-iPhone solution for all security needs. Genuinley helpful! The beta of version 3 is fantastic and fully Snow Leopard / 64 bit savvy. Support is impeccable, they certainly deserve every dime. Nothing's perfect, but these folks really listen and grow. = ) thanks PS - I hope these developers are working on other projects, I'd love to see them introduce other products. (Version 2.11.1)		+4

Front Row Trailers	Feb 6 2009	JACQUES P. Great tool to simply keep the video codecs up to date, if for nothing else. This program automatically checks and updates flip4mac and perian. (Version 2.1.2)		0

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness	May 22 2008	JACQUES P. It's quite unique, very nice graphics and ideas - but it's got some very foul language. Just wanted to put up a note for parents, this is not for kids (or for those that don't want to blasted with lousy surprises.) Why not keep this kind of creativity clean? JP (Version 1.0)		0

Vuze	Mar 17 2006	JACQUES P. One thing about Azureus that others don't seem to do.. when you begin a torrent, Azureus blocks out the entire size of the download immediately. When you have little room left, this prevents downloading many things at once - and then offloading them to DVDs as the finish. Other clients I've tried only take as much room as has been downloaded at the time, helping out with the nearly full HD shuffle some of us go through. So far, my favorite client has been Bits on Wheels - however with a good amount of HD space I'm sure this one works well! (Version 2.4.0.2)		0

BCWINTERS JAP, you can change this in the Azureus options--it's the setting "Allocate and zero new files on creation" in Options / Files.

JACQUES P. Your email prompted my research, thanks. I didn't know it was possible to adjust this, couldn't find it before. It's actually an option under Files called "Enable incremental file creation ..." - this feature is checked off by default. Check it ON and it will incrementally grow the file as it downloads, works for me.

BCWINTERS Sorry about the incorrect terminology, I'm on a slightly out-of-date version.

Plaxo	Feb 24 2006	JACQUES P. Great system, but be careful. Once installed, be sure to set syncing to MANUAL. Then as you get updates, simply manually update each card yourself. Otherwise if you let them sync, whatever you have down is totally wiped out in favor of what the user gave plaxo. Most people give Plaxo VERY limited info, you'll lose lots of stuff if you let them automatically sync. (Version 1.0b2)		0

TYCHAY (I am actually not the developer, but I do work for Plaxo and do use the Mac client.)

Actually, you don't need to set manual syncing to avoid having your contacts modified by other Plaxo members.

See here.

Simply go to your Plaxo Account Preferences, communication pane and uncheck "Automatically accept updated information in my address book".

While you are there, I also unchecked "Plaxo Alerts", which cuts down on the stuff coming in my inbox considerably. The problem is if you do so, you must remember to visit My Plaxo and allow/disallow updates coming in individually. (Yes, I know this doesn't work so well in Safari, and that is entirely my fault. Now that the Mac client is out in beta, getting the online experience in Safari is a top priority.)

I hope this helps,

terry
