Xtorrent
Feb 8 2007

ATTENTIONWANDERED  but still, it really is unethical.

open source is about giving back to the community

besides it makes absolutely no sense anyways, people use bittorrent because they hate paying for things (usually, i know there are legitamite downloads but seriously) why would you pay for a bittorrent client that will never be faster than its open source counterpart?

the only step up is searching, but being part of a community and knowing of www.google.com and www.scrapetorrent.com makes this completely useless

i do give the author some credit though, he is simplifying torrenting for the masses, and maybe it will catch on, but still.

(besides, i get better speeds in azereus. should have used their source somehow)

ATTENTIONWANDERED  alright here is my feedback:

the curtian is a cool idea if you dont have front row, but it doesnt work at all. doesnt show current song playing, doesnt show switch. just the rating (which is odd)

the window is a little big, i really dont need that much space just to state the artist.

there is no search button, i really think it needs a button to open and close the search window (which does work well).

also, right off the bat there is an applescript error (as mentioned below) and it refuses to work without growl. i dont use growl, i wont use growl, so an option to just skip the whole growl thing would be nice

thanks for trying, a little work and this application would be some hot stuff. peace

ATTENTIONWANDERED  well if you could make it more space efficient somehow.

perhaps like have an option in the preferences to get rid of some things(for instance i have no use for the volume meter), or just have the volume thing as a little button, and when you press that the actual slider comes up and stuff

the two tabs at the top are gigantic. have miniscule buttons on the side (so they take away the pretty much unused space at the top) and instead of saying "music" and "search" just have like a musical note and a magnifying glass

i think im gonna make a photoshop of my ideas and email it to you. it could be pretty hard to program i guess.

you guys are suggesting all these other browsers that are way better or whatever, opera is good too

it has its advangates and disadvantages

downside,

-it takes alot of customizing

i can remember how much it was though

while just sitting around the app took up maybe 1%-5%

and when the little bar thing is activated it shot up to50-75%

for generally use its bearable, but if i try to open it up while doing something the whole computer hangs.

FadingImages screensaver
Aug 3 2006

GREGW  It "displays scaled pictures from a specified folder (several at a time) and fades them out replacing them with new images."

Except for the iTunes cover art one, all of the picture-displaying screen savers that come with the OS show a single picture at a time, full screen. They do a slow zoom and then transition to a new image.

The iTunes saver shows a couple of dozen images in a grid and periodically flips one over to show a different image, so it's closer in net effect but with a different presentation and only displays images from a single, non-configurable location.

not to mention it consistantly uses 5% of my processor when doing nothing but displaying the song in the menubar.

i really dont mean to come down on the developer, i really appreciate free software but i cant afford to lose my processing power like that, so cut it down please? and maybe add a little customization to the window and this application would be very very good.

i really like this program. I thought camino was as good as it gets, and never really thought to try this.

it is so fast: loads quicky, loads tabs quickly, browses the internet quickly despite the lack of http pipelining (which i agree should be added), and even closes quickly

it has a standard interface that can be customized easily.

its really stable

renders pages well

my only problems are: that there are no spacers in the bookmark bar, and its kind of a hassle to get the bookmarks to work(convert to safari, then safari to firefox, then to shiira) because of no easily found import

ATTENTIONWANDERED  If i could give this more then five stars i would.

It saved me mucccchhh money and time and lets me finally burn cds quickly and effectively.

i used some magicspin cd burner i got from radio shack and it works flawlessly, burning full speed with toast and after restarting my computer a couple times.

its funny how the cd burner is bigger then my entire mac mini though

ATTENTIONWANDERED  The application doesnt seem to even open

it would be nice if all ti was was like a small text box and it played stuff without having to call itunes to the front(which is the fault of every script ive seen)

i think the script would be much biggerhelp to me so i could program it to a hotkey or something.

free software is always appreciated though thanks.

HENDO  Yes I realize that it calls iTunes up but when you search for a song and hit play it minimizes the window right after you type the song. In later versions I will try and have it minimized all the time. I am a new programmer so I don't know how to assign hotkeys...sorry:( but I will try and learn so don't lose hope!

Thanks for the feedback!

TOM HANCOCKS  Did you code it in Xcode? If so did you set it from Debug configuration to Release configuration? a Debug build will work on your computer no matter what, but not everyone elses.

Go to the Project > Set Active Build Configuration > Release to make sure it is set for Release.

ATTENTIONWANDERED  (followup to previous post)

I really come to prefer aurora. the interface is much nicer and doesnt take up menubar space (im thankful for turning that option off)

it doesnt need its faisafe player if you put your computer to sleep with itunes running.

i preffer "Pause" to put me to sleep, because it lets me do other things to turn it off, more function like that and this would be perfect.

thanks

ATTENTIONWANDERED  decent application. Im a fan of the entire move and copy(and the batch rename) but i think that this apps interface could be a little better looking. it takes a couple minutes to get familiar with.

xee browses my images much faster and i would honestly prefer it for sorting because of its keyboard control but this app does what it says pretty well.

ATTENTIONWANDERED  I use Alarm Clock 2 but it rarely actually plays itunes and i muchhhhhhh prefer aurora's layout.

the new version promises alot, and ill test it but i have one question

what is this "wake from "deep sleep""

my 2 years with macs i have never seen that option.

it seems like just a gimmick to me.

thanks for free software, and ill test it.

YUMMYDODD  attentionwandered - somehow i doubt you've been using alarm clock 2. i say this because of your quote:

"...but it rarely actually plays itunes"

first of all, alarm clock 2 doesn't play music through iTunes. just by reading the comments for aurora, we all know this to be a good thing. in fact, the developer of aurora had so many problems, he had to go in and make a failsafe for when iTunes doesn't play!

second, me and all my mac friends use alarm clock 2 and we've never (not once) had a problem with it over the course of about a month now. so if you're actually being honest, then i'll bet you'll also have problems with the "failsafe" in aurora, since it uses the same technique as alarm clock 2.

JONAS WITT  With "deep sleep" I mean the state where your Mac is off. To learn how to use that feature, read http://metaquark.de/content/software/aurora/howto/index.html#preferences - basically, you'll need to enable auto-login for your user and have Aurora in your login items.

yummyDodd is right when he says that playback through iTunes is not 100% reliable (when you use AirTunes, for example), and that's why I included the fallback player in version 2.0 - this gives you all of iTunes' features (other alarm clocks don't support AirTunes, for example), but 100% reliability.

****.

ATTENTIONWANDERED  Quinn is a good but still very basic tetris application.

runs smoothly and well, plays very well, looks good.

some features:

a hold box, (press a key it goes to the box then swaps out)

longer time on the ground (immediatly as it hist the next piece comes down, get sme so angry especially near the top)

maybe more next pieces

turn off all of those quirky animations and stuff(like when you drop a piece it bounces)

i noticed alternate graphics sets, maybe building those into preferences

also, i noticed one glitch. sometimes (especially when playing multiple games in the same session) the pieces dont comne down, they just stay at the top.

thats it though, this application seems unfinished, it could use alot more features but it is strongly built as it is.

thanks for making it free

ATTENTIONWANDERED  a very strongly reccommended application.

works very well and fluently and elimates the need for lots of little apps(like ones that make mock apple menus repicating the ones in os 9, those are pointless if you use this)

layout and preferences and every aspect of it is easy and works well

im on a very small computer(literally), a mac mini 1.25 256mb of ram, barely any noticable lagging,

very very nice application

ATTENTIONWANDERED  ehh its alright. really easy to use but the donations dialog gets annoyyinggg especially since you cant close out of it quickly, people can see that you are hiding something, kind of defeats its own purpose. its really not that secure either, any system maintenance app with show all hidden files on, you can eassily find the folder and acess everything

ATTENTIONWANDERED  goooood application

nice and quick, but is the dock icon and the menu bar loading thing bogging you down and just pissing you off? yeh me too.

maybe and option to switch all of that on and off, but for no i have to do it analogly with dockless

so, use dockless to get rid of the icon and menu, and then this application is Perrfect

Xee is much much better just in every way, even though it is still in devolopment. not to totally kill the developer i love free software, but it would take alot of changes to make this a useful app.

i like the interface though
