ST00P!D M0NK3Y If you re-install Snow Leopard again, it won't change any of your files on the computer... or your accounts, etc... so you won't really be starting over again. You can try just installing Snow Leopard again instead of reformatting the entire computer with Disk Utility and see if that helps. (Version 2.1.1) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y This is probably the first time in MacUpdate history that I'm seeing good points on both sides being discussed. It's refreshing and everyone is making valid points. But you're right, opinions... by definition... are a little biased. I just can't tolerate the "you're an idiot for using this over this" crowd. I keep switching between Firefox, Safari, and Camino. I wish they could combine all 3 to create some super dooper ultimate browser. That'd be nice. (Version 3.5.5) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y I'm sorry, but your Safari fanboy bandwagon rant sounds just as bad as the Firefox crowd. Now granted, your word choices are more eloquent than those complaining about your review, but you still sound biased, nonetheless. I personally use Safari as my #1 browser, but there are still a few websites that do not work at all in Safari that work perfectly in Firefox. For example... when posting an ad on Craigslist.com, when you are all finished with the ad and go to submit, a CAPTCHA verification page will appear to confirm the ad. This does not appear in Safari (I have tried every means imaginable to make it appear, trust me), but it does appear in Firefox. This is a rare instance in which a site just simply does not work in Safari, but I use that site on a daily basis, so I wish Apple would address that issue with Safari ASAP. So... both Safari and Firefox have their pros and cons, but don't belittle other people because you can't comprehend why they'd want to use Firefox over Safari because that defies all logic that encompasses your existence. Use what you like... that's all that matters, anyway. That's why there is diversity. That's why there is competition. That's why there is choice. If there wasn't any competition, we wouldn't see as many innovative ideas as we do now. Competition breeds creativity. (Version 3.5.5) | |

All the modern websites I throw at my old G4 bring that thing to its knees. (Version 3.5.5) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y You should always back up your data before doing a firmware update or any kind of update for that matter. In fact, you should always have two back ups of your data in case your back up has issues. This is a general rule of thumb. They say, any data you don't have backed up twice... is data you don't care about. I've had drives take a nose dive many times. Yes, it stinks that you lost your data. I've had nothing but poor experiences with LaCie drives and I've since stopped using them entirely. I can't believe we're discussing this in comments regarding Firefox. (Version 3.6b1) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y So... because you blindly installed a firmware update on an array that contained valuable data with an unnecessary update that probably didn't even need to be installed in the first place because it was apparently working fine, you're going to say that because software developers don't have release notes for... God forbid... 15 minutes to 1 hour after putting their product up here, that the company is somehow stupid and irresponsible? Perhaps you should just develop some patience. If it bothers you that bad, wait for the release notes. Just a heads up, you should probably have backed up your data before applying a firmware update. Just a thought. (Version 3.6b1) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y You guys are being a little biased here. It's a FREE program that you are paying NOTHING for... and it decompresses literally every file type. Not to mention the fact that if you set StuffIt as the default file type decompressor, it creates the BEST looking icon files I've seen for any app. Very modern looking. They're like 3D high quality cubes. And StuffIt expands multiple piece compressed files and password protected files, whereas other free apps just bring up an error message if something is password protected. I understand the hate for proprietary formats, but as a free decompression application, it works perfectly. Oh, and it's... it's... FREE. What is there to complain about? I use it as my default decompression app, but I still send people .ZIP and .RAR files. Nobody is forcing you to use their propietary format, but the free decompressor aspect works just fine. Oh yeah, and it's free. (Version 14.0) | |

I've never had Firefox crash once on me since the advent of 3.5 Beta. I have all kinds of add-ons installed. This is obviously a per-user issue, so bagging on Firefox because of a personal problem is just as ridiculous as anything else. Obviously bugs are still being worked out... But generally when a program keeps crashing, there's likely some other reasons for the issue than just the app itself, especially when not everyone is having the same issues as you. In fact... none of the programs I have on my Mac crash. As for Safari 4, I've never had that crash either, even with all the extensions I have, but of course, I keep them all up to date.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Yeah... I don't much see the point in glorifying an app when it's... free. It's a free app and people like it. That's all. It's certainly not to increase the sales. I too noticed the major flood of uTorrent trolls coming in here and just spamming the Transmission page. It was ridiculous. But yes when someone says there's flaws with Transmission, it's because of those trolls that people react based on previous experiences in such a bad way. Some people are just immature and need to get over the fact that it's just a freaking app... and others are just loyal fans. Your comment may be legit, but it seems people are still pissed off by all that nonsense. I've had my fair share of problems with Transmission... and I still have some occasionally, but I've read up on the app and have fixed most of them with some settings modifications... such as Transmission raping my bandwidth and not allowing the ability to browse the internet. Solution? Cap the download speed. *gasp* Yeah... something so simple for such a big issue. But I know where you're coming from. Some people just cannot believe that something could be wrong with Transmission... which is silly. All programs have bugs. That's why new versions come out all the time and patches and updates to address these issues reported by users. It's a combination of user input and developer output that continues to make this program great. So... keep it up. :) As for uTorrent... there's not a snowball's chance in Hades of me using it on the Mac unless they seriously actually give a rat's toosh about the Mac platform and make it like it is on Windows. Because on Windows, it's the only torrent app I'll use. It's just a joke on the Mac. (Version 1.6b1) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Wow it's been like two years since there's been a FairMount update... I've since switched to RipIt. Maybe I'll give this a go one more time and see how it works with newer DVDs. I'm absolutely hating the new icon though... so much that I copy and pasted the old one over this one. (Version 1.0.4) | |

RipIt | Apr 28 2009 |
ST00P!D M0NK3Y Thanks for being the alternative to MactheRipper. It may not have as many options as MTR, but at least it works on new DVD releases and I can use other third-party apps to do what I want with the VIDEO_TS files. For those of you confused by the file RipIt makes, just right-click it and select "Show Package Contents" and it will open the folder revealing the VIDEO_TS files and you can do what you want with those. DVD2OneX2, Toast, and Apple DVD Player can read these files, but I've noticed some other programs cannot. Anyway... thanks again for continuing to keep this program up to date. FairMount is an alright program but it hangs for all eternity on new DVD releases because FairMount is outdated. This program works flawlessly. (Version 1.2.5) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y This beta seems to have resolved some funky issues I was having with the prior version. I can't max out my bandwidth like other torrent programs still, even with a torrent I tried with 5000 seeders, it was only going at about 60% of my max bandwidth and the download speed was uncapped in the preferences. Not really trying to ask for advice here... it just puzzles me. (Version 1.6b1) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Dude, it's working perfectly for me and thousands of others. Don't know what the issue is and I wish I could tell you, but there must be something funky in your system from preventing the launch of this app. If even the developer can't help you, I don't think anyone else can. Maybe wait for a newer release or just ditch the program altogether. The updates seem to be far and few between though so you might be waiting a while. (Version 2.2.2) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Enjoying the assumptions about not visiting sites that may cause *gasp* crashes and the like. Maybe the people experience issues are lucky, perhaps, and maybe they are focusing more on the Beta than the current program. 3.1 is around the corner (they are now calling it 3.5), and the latest Beta is surprisingly even faster than the first Betas for 3.1 that have been out. As for recommending NOT using Firefox as a work-tool I cannot comprehend. Have never stopped using it as a work-tool since it's been on the Mac and nothing's changed since 3.x. It just plain doesn't crash on me. Perhaps run Onyx or DiskWarrior on your slave drive and see if anything is amiss. (Version 3.0.9) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Maybe you guys should delete your Firefox preference files and start from scratch again. Honestly, I have not had a single problem with any of the recent releases of Firefox. I've since moved over to testing the Beta versions of Firefox, and those don't crash on me either. and they're noticeably faster than their current stable builds. Try trashing the preference files and maybe throw Onyx into the mix with a full Maintenance run. I've also not had an issue with video playback as some of you have mentioned. Plays video quite fine. Safari 4 Beta, on the other hand... crashes every now and again... but it is a Beta. I still use Safari though, but I'll take the bugs with the fact that it's a Beta and await Apple's next update.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y I'm quite speechless. I expect much more from Adobe. This is just... well it's simply not worth using. VLC or MPlayer are leaps and bounds better. And as far as downloading online content... I'd rather use iTunes or one of the many free sites out there for accessing such content. This is just a waste of hard drive space. The random file association crap is quite annoying. If you're having a dandy time trying to get your file associations back, use this free preference pane ~> http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/14618/rcdefaultapp The program hasn't been updated in a while, but it still does exactly what it says, even in Leopard.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y That about sums it up right there. I went the MSJ root as well to avoid the nightmarish stories I've read about. And even after getting it from there, the app is extremely buggy and doesn't work on most new DVDs. The developer is sucking money from the hopes of faithful MTR fans and each new beta release seems to be further and further apart. I have no clue when a final stable release will come into fruition, but MTR is a shadow of what it used to be and the development is asinine. (Version 2.6.6) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y I still don't know what the deal is with bandwidth allocation. When I'm downloading a torrent, no matter what it is or what the down/up settings are... I cannot browse the internet... or at the very least... internet browsing is immensely slow... same goes for any other program that requires a network connection. uTorrent, even when maxed out on my download and upload speeds with multiple files, I can still browse the internet at decent speeds and do online gaming simultaneously. uTorrent is very buggy and not ready for primetime by any means and I've been using Transmission for ages now and I'd prefer to use it over uTorrent... but I don't know what the deal is. I'll have to stick with uTorrent if this keeps up. >. (Version 1.50) | |

When neither Fairmount or MactheRipper works, I boot up Parallels in Windows and copy the disc with an updated version of AnyDVD... which is by far the best decryptor I've come across on Windows or Mac.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y No offense, KKNOPP, but you're being a complete and utter tool to EDGE777. You want to talk about fanboys? You sound like a major Transmission fanboy. Pull the stick out of your arse and calm down. Having been using Transmission for a LONG time now, I was experiencing the same exact problems as EDGE (and I have never experienced them until recently). Torrents would take an eternity to start, and I made no changes whatsoever to my network settings and all associated ports were open to Transmission. I even edited various configurations in the Firewall, but to no avail. This new Beta seems to have fixed the problem entirely as torrents start almost instantly and the speed boost in download speed is exponential. I tested a torrent with 1000+ seeders with the previous version and the speeds were ridiculous. I downloaded and installed this new Beta, and re-opened transmission, resumed the exact same torrent... and it started downloading instantly and at the max download rate for my internet service. uTorrent is fine and all, but there's no reason for the hiccups in Transmission. The issue seems to be addressed with this latest Beta, but seriously dude... get the heck off your high horse and stop shoving your hate down someone's throat because you think they are a fanboy, are stupid, or various other reasons. You just come off sounding like a tool. And uTorrent isn't crap. It's been working perfectly for me for years. So I could just as easily bash your bad experience with uTorrent just as you bashed EDGE's experience with Transmission. Things happen. Sometimes things we can't explain... but the developers read these comments and try to fix issues as best they can. That's why we have an open community for a program that is fortunately free to us Mac users. Count your blessings and don't bash others for such petty things. (Version 1.50b3) | |

I was a little iffy switching completely to Mac for my DVD burning purposes, but the combination of these two programs has been a wonderful switch. This program works perfectly and has never crashed on me and has never produced a bad disc. I always burn on a slower speed. However, this program has a grotesque and displeasing interface that makes me want to vomit all over the screen. I think the developers should make this wonderful piece of software a bit easier on the eyes. However, it's still a great program regardless. =P (Version 2.2.2) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y It has the most basic interface I've ever seen. How is it not user-friendly? It's ugly yes, but it's easy as pie to use. (Version 2.2.2) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y It's not the best anymore. It works with new DVDs like a third of the time. The other two-thirds it can't get past new encryption algorithms. FairMount is the direction I've gone. (Version 2.6.6) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Does exactly what it says. I'm using this instead of MacTheRipper now... which doesn't work on very many new releases these days (including version 3 of MacTheRipper... which is buggy). Excellent program. :] (Version 1.0.2) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Wow. What would I have done if this amazing app had not come along? I think that maybe if I had nothing but crack cocaine laced with battery acid since birth that maybe I would in fact need this program to perform the most basic of math equations. But wow. Fantastic program. It's not every day a developer shines through with such an amazing piece of software to embrace the world. My hat is off to you. =P (Version 1.0) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Dunno what all of you are griping about. You can tweak Firefox to your heart's content however you like it via the about:config file and various other methods. It's completely modifiable and customizable. You're apparently unaware of this. Firefox is all I ever use on Windows. I use Safari or Camino on the Mac, though ... but you can get Firefox running pretty dang fast on a Mac. Don't know why you guys are having such issues. Seriously. (Version 3.0b1) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Still one of the best programs of its kind on the Mac. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't feel like a Mac application at all, in both look and functionality. It would be awesome if you guys could work on this for future releases. It feels like a choppy Windows app and looks like one too. It doesn't flow with the rest of the intuitive interface of OS X. But it's free, so I can't complain much, but still...that would be a really nice update. (Version 2.5.02) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Oh yeah...and considering this one costs MONEY, I see no reason for it not to have more options in the appearance department. When others do this for free, this one should have it when it costs money. That's just me though. I'm with you that it's a great browser, but I would like more options. (Version 5.5.2) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y The problem is...OmniWeb IS my favorite browser, but I don't like the theme. If it looked as good as it performed as a solid browser, that would be a plus. (Version 5.5.2) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y This is a very stable release. Definitely one of the fastest browsing experiences I've had on my slower Mac - 800 MHz PowerPC G4 - 768 MB SDRAM - Mac OS 10.4.8. I just keep coming back to OmniWeb, despite some of the things I don't like about it. And thanks for adding the option to turn off favorite icons. That keeps me a little more sane. =P I still don't like the default OmniWeb theme though. Those purple bookmarks give me a twitch. Give us more options! (Version 5.5.2) | |

ZWILLIAMS It might have to do with the fact that WM* is copyrighted, protected, close-sourced, and proprietary. (Version 0.8.6a) | |

VLC Media Player | Jan 5 2007 |
SNOWLPRD Thank you for the information-free statement, Mr. Williams. WMV is indeed proprietary, but ostensibly Flip4Mac is no better positioned to implement superior WMV support than VLC should be. Thus the observation that Flip4Mac's WMV implementation is superior -- if true -- is perfectly valid. (Version 0.8.6a) | |

VLC Media Player | Jan 5 2007 |
You just aren't informed are you? Microsoft is WORKING WITH (Telestream) Flip4Mac and has given them the codebase to work with along with a licensing deal. It is a lot easier to work with other formats when the company behind them gives you access to the codebase for the codecs. Don't blame me for you being out of touch with the Mac Community. It is pretty well known information, and I'd suggest you actually keep up with news in the Mac Community instead of complaining about other people's replies. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia (Version 0.8.6a) | |

VLC Media Player | Jan 6 2007 |
ZWILLIAMS You're telling me that you don't remember Microsoft's bomb last year? You don't recall ANYTHING from last January when Microsoft announced to entire Mac Community that they would be discontinuing Windows Media Player for the Mac and their new Partnership with Telestream? It was on every single Mac News site last January. Check MacNN, MacMinite, MacCentral (MacWorld), Slashdot, MacSlash, ArsTechnica, AppleInsider, MacRumors, Mac News Bytes, Mac Observer, Think Secret, even DaringFireball had articles on it. Hell it is even announced on Microsoft's Windows Media Player for the Mac mini-site. You seriously need to pay attention and actually do a little research into what you're using. Cripes, that is a dangerous thing if you're just downloading and using stuff if you don't have a good grasp on the company or people behind it. (Version 0.8.6a) | |

VLC Media Player | Jan 6 2007 |
UMAROMC Isn't Windows Media Player still REQUIRED if you want to view DRM/"protected" WMV content anyway? I don't think Flip4Mac or VLC can successfully play DRM content... I've been searching Flip4Mac's and MS's sites for assurance but I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong, thanks. (Version 0.8.6a) | |

VLC Media Player | Jan 7 2007 |
ZWILLIAMS Indeed Flip4Mac and VLC are unable to play protected content. Microsoft sharing its drm codebase could be disasterous for them if it were to be leaked to the public. Also it helps them keep their strangehold of Windows Media Player on customers. The latest version of WMP for the Mac does not support the latest DRM either. (Version 0.8.6a) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y And another thing...this version of AppZapper says "You can now UnZap apps in case you accidentally remove something" -- You either didn't review this version or you simply didn't know that the option was there. (Version 1.8) | |
| [ Reply ] | |

AppZapper | Dec 12 2006 |
ST00P!D M0NK3Y Well considering that it moves everything to the trash and you have to empty the trash in order to remove the apps, it would be completely your own fault for having to reinstall your OS. Try thinking and observing the situation before giving an app one star because of your own mishaps. You could've very well moved the apps back because AppZapper moves them to the trash. It does not delete everything permanently. This is so in case you do something drastic, you can undo the changes. (Version 1.8) | |

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Yes. I pretty much removed it off my computer because of the incessant nagging asking me to pay during the entire 30 day trial period (EVERY TIME I TURNED ON THE COMPUTER!). It only took a few days of that nonsense to give up on this app. The annoying nagging of the trial period is really unnecessary. (Version 2.1) | |

CleanArchiver | Nov 27 2006 |
ST00P!D M0NK3Y This is exactly what I've been looking for! One suggestion though. When adding individual files that aren't inside a folder, it will keep the extension in the file name after archiving. For instance, after archiving this app to a .zip archive, the new name is CleanArchiver2.4a2.dmg.zip. If you could allow this app to remove the .dmg file extension (or any other extension for that matter - - like YemuZip does), that would be great. (Version 2.4a2) | |

WEBMASTER1 I honestly wish I was still able to provide it for free. The previous versions of SafariSpeed were all released as donationware - meaning, if you like it, you're supposed to donate something. Unfortunately, I got about $20 a month in donations, and hosting the website and downloads cost a good bit more than that. As a result, I've added a bunch of new features and made this version shareware. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. You're welcome to continue to use the old version; the features in the old version were not changed in any way in the new release. I hope this helps explain why I started charging. (Version 2.0) | |
