One Objective Feed
Aug 7 2009

DETTO  I'd like to see this app being polished. So far I'm unable to use it, because at every start 3 predefined feeds are loaded/added/refreshed though I deleted them before. That's just unacceptable. I also had problems removing saved feeds again, didn't work.

Font size wasn't changeable on all feeds I tried.

But on the positive side it's very straightforward use with minimal inteface that doesn't get in your way and saves screen real estate.

Something I'm really looking forward to concerning my RSS behaviour. NetNewWire and mostly all the others are just ridicilously over the top to me.

AppCleaner
Jun 17 2009
***..

DETTO  This truly is a mini review.

Just downloaded this tool again to check its work.

Well, I'm a bit dissapointed.

First, the "AppCleaner Helper" only works if you are logged in as an admin. For a normal user account it doesn't work.

Second, .. well just take a look: http://img3.abload.de/img/bild10cku.png

Maybe it was a bad accident, but to be honest: I installed AppCleaner, temporarily removed one application to see AppCleaner working, and on the first application removal one gets such a result?

Getting tired of using my saved spotlight search for application removals I was seaching (again) for such a tool to ease the task a little bit.

AppZapper is not really better, + it's shareware.

DETTO  At least the "-" voters could be so nice and tell me what's wrong with my statement/review/experience with Transmission.

I WANT to use it, but I can't really, because it is extreme to my HDD and looses connection to the peers.

Transmission

*....

DETTO  Transmission went unusable for me since 1.5x. In 1.60 it's still a whole mess for me.

The problem: I start more then one (lets say 2) downloads. Both of them are folders which contain several files. Transmission connects to peers, starts downloading, speed goes up to about 400,500,800 KB and so on, and then suddenly hangs/stops for a sec or a bit longer (and it's not just the GUI, I checked the network bandwith with iStat). So after this 1 sec or bit longer Transmission asks the connected peers again to send data and begins downloading. Speed goes up, data is written to HDD, Speed goes up even more, and bam, again a hang/stop. It's damn annoying, pretty agressive to the connected peers (this though is just a guess) but most of all just unbearable for a torrent client.

I hate to mention it (because many of you don't like it, its a port and so on) but uTorrent has no problem with that. I think it *peep* in features and ease of use and everything, but at least it gives me my maximum download speed and it has absolutely no problem with writing much data to HDD or hanging/stopping.

ROBBY.IS.ON  I'm also experiencing this problem. However I don't think this justifies a one-star review (it isn't a review, really).

ROBBY.IS.ON  Why complain here and not ask for support on Transmission's forums?

LimeChat
May 27 2008
****.

DETTO  Works very well and does its job fine. Its very lean and fast, makes fun overall. DCC and performing commands after login is also supported, though i didnt test these yet. I was already about to buy Linkinus which is the only attractive IRC client to me, but its already too much in it for my taste. Limechat is pretty and small, i like that.

Safari AdBlock
Apr 14 2008
*****

DETTO  Very nice plugin/application!

Blocks everything annoying so far automatically without even touching the manual list. But it's there too which is a big plus, and its pretty easy to add entries.

I miss a simple right click option on images/flash-banners though, for easier adding of unwanted things, but keep it simple as it is! SafariBlock and Saft both are too crowded for me.

Cheers and thanks!
