Vuze
Nov 20 2008

LOTUS49  What a shame!

Azureus used to be good, if rather unintuitive. It did everything I wanted and it was very configurable. It was a bit buggy and crashed regularly but I still liked it.

Now Vuze has come along, the quirky but still cool app I used to know has eaten too many pies. Vuze is confusing, bloated and slow. All I want my bittorrent client to do is download torrents. I don't want built in search engines or media libraries or .

I like a nice well-rounded application that sticks out in the right places, but Vuze has overdone it. Vuze, I don't know how to say this, but I am leaving you for someone a little more svelte (ie transmission). We had fun but I'm afraid it's over.

Overflow
Jan 31 2008

LOTUS49  I have been using Overflow for about 16m and it worked very well under Tiger and I loved it. I am sorry to say that under Leopard it is riddled with bugs although it still basically works.

I very often have to click twice to get an app to launch. It frequently appears right at the top of the screen cutting off the top two thirds. If I try to open it in the second or third workspace I have to click on the dock icon two or three times respectively to get it to appear.

I still (sort of) like it, but the main appeal was two clicks to open an app, now it's more like six.

In short, this needs a fair bit of work to work as well as it did under Tiger which is rather disappointing.

gSync
Dec 8 2007

LOTUS49  I came looking for this because I was previously using gcaldaemon (which worked but was NOT easy to setup) and that doesn't work with Leopard. Spanning Sync is too expensive and I don't like the unnecessary use of an external server.

GSync did the trick for me. I haven't tested it extensively but it was easy to setup and seems to have synced my calendars properly. My tenner is on its way.
