Absolutely nothing to upgrade from Toast 8 (especially at $89). Roxio pulling stuff like this, just makes me look for other alternatives, especially open source ones. disgusting business practice.

Stuff Expander is on version 12, yet expanding a multi-part RAR file

still displays horrible progress bar.

Example: You have a RAR archive composed of 9 RAR files.

example.rar

example.r00

example.r01

example.r02

example.r03

example.r04

example.r05

example.r06

example.r07

StuffIt opens example.rar and the progress bar goes to 99% after doing

example.rar, but it has 8 more RAR files to go. So it is impossible to

get a read on how much longer the expansion is going to take.

Please fix this. SOOO annoying. thanks

You buy Toast, then they update Popcorn with the same features. Then they update Toast to the new features of popcorn. etc. what a gimmick.

Great addition to Quicktime. Now I can play all my DivX and Xvid movies with mp3,aac,ac3 audio, etc without using another video player. VLC has always been nice to me, but had its share of problems in the past. Now I like having both around. :)

thanks developer(s)

Great to see open-source multi-platform application. Very simple interface. Easy to use, low memory and resource footprint.

Nice changes since 0.6, some private trackers are starting to un-ban this client, but it really needs a few extras to really become a Azureus replacement.

1) Selective file downloads, meaning you can select only some of the files in the torrent for download, ignoring others

2) Have the ability to use protocol encryption

3) Ban peers sending bad data (data which fails hash checks) and not report such bad data downloads (Azureus 2.5.0.0 does not report bad data downloads, which is nice feature to help with your ratio)

4) Ability to increase re-announces to the tracker beyond lower bound. Helps with private trackers which want large timeouts between annoucements

Great widget. Perfect in many ways. Looks are awesome and complement its functionality. :)

MySQL GUI tools have always worked for me, whether in Linux or Mac OSX. Previous versions for Mac OSX had problems with code-completion (seg faults), but it seems to be fixed in this version (although the completion list seems a bit off).

Also the UI seemed to be cleaned up slightly and is definitely a useful tool. I use this program on an Intel Macbook Pro and PowerPC G5.

For the person complaining about this FREE tool, if they didn't submit a bug report from mysql.com, then its their loss. This is a free tool and open-source, so testing and bug reports must come from the end-users as well for the process to work. :)

Worthless, to quote: "banned from every single private tracker that matters" and from some talk on the forums it looks like the staff on these private trackers have no interest in ever unbanning this client...

How is this any different from using Activity Monitor and enabling the column "Kind" which indicates Intel or PowerPC?

The tabs are an awesome new addition. The only remaining issue I have with SubEthaEdit is no HEREDOC string syntax support. The funny thing was, when I opened a bug on their site about it, they closed it stating, "HEREDOC not supported", like it wasn't part of the language, e.g. PHP, perl, etc.

HEREDOC strings look like this (example in php):

$var = <<

very large string

many lines long

etc, etc, etc.

EOT;

I have been using since 2.0.3, about 10min on dual-core 2.3 G5 to encode a movie after using MacTheRipper to extract it. As for 2.0.6, being able to set the process priority in the preferences was a request I made on the forums and the developers implemented it!!! hooray!

I believe Parallels requires 10.4.6. I have 10.4.6 and the latest MacBook Pro firmware update and it ran faster then any other virutal machine I ever used, including VMWare under Linux on a dual2ghz, 2GB machine.

The only thing I had to do is turn down the hardware display acceleration in windows one notch. :)
