ZWILLIAMS  Looks pretty useful for some, but stealing Digg.com's icon is no good.  
(Version 1.1)

ZWILLIAMS  All you had to say was to change the working directory.

Anyway, it loads now but doesn't function properly. Seems that we are at the mercy of Apple/ATI for a while longer.  
(Version 2.0)

ZWILLIAMS  Unfortunately, it still doesn't work for me.

(Version 2.0)

ZWILLIAMS  Didn't seem to work at first under 10.6, but just suddenly like an hour ago it started working again. *shrug*  
(Version 10.4.8)

ZWILLIAMS  Good to see such a great utility, being freeware an awesome bonus, continue to update. It is the second thing I install after a fresh OS install. Many thanks to the Developer, for giving us this great tool.  
(Version 2.0.1)

ZWILLIAMS  Huh, I just downloaded this today, and like half an hour later it suddenly updates. Odd.  
(Version 3.5.22)

ZWILLIAMS  Flash is great, if it works. Most of the time you come up to an ad or an actual interactive file, it will pop up with a warning telling you that something or other didn't load. It will offer two options 'Dismiss All' or 'Continue' and reguardless crash and take Safari out with it. Beyond useless to me. Switched back to Flash 9. Flash 10 is seriously broken, and it is amazing that Adobe hasn't done something to fix this yet.  
(Version 10.0.22.87)

ZWILLIAMS  My primary complaint is it doesn't adhere to what you set the default save directory. I drop in two or three torrents, some are where they should be, others pop up in the old directory. Quite annoying if you have one save spot on your start up drive.  
(Version 0.9.0.4b)

ZWILLIAMS  Updated last night.

Prior to the update I had had a lot of problems with Safari's stability and some issues with not being able to force quit properly out of hung applications. Now it is smooth sailing and I haven't had an issue yet. I left Safari up and running overnight with 364 tabs (opened every bookmark I had in the menu) and this morning it was still up and going and smooth. Haven't had that in a long time.

Even my two 1TB external LaCies are staying connected properly, and haven't had a random silently disconnect.

Good for me here.  
(Version 10.5.6)

ZWILLIAMS  Great software getting better, now if only it had softsub support it would be the end all solution.  
(Version 0.9.3)

ZWILLIAMS  To the dev: Stop using StuffIt to compress for distribution. There are tons of better, less bloated, faster, and free compressor tools. Do not force us to download a relic of software because you think it is a de facto standard.  
(Version 2.0.1)

ZWILLIAMS  Pretty good so far, with one exception. Sudden system crashes. I dug through the console and everything was okay. Nothing in the console had any direct connection to MPlayer Extended. The only notable item is that just before the system crash occurs the very last entry is always MPlayer Extended related. However the system crash only occurs when MPE is being paused (not every time but like once out of a dozen clicks or so.)

I've never had such a problem and have not had a crash in about 3 months of operation.

While I can't say for a certainty that it is indeed MPE, the application is my primary suspect. Not to detract from this application being a great (and very welcomed to my Applications Folder) project.

Cheers to the dev/maintainers.  
(Version rev5)

ZWILLIAMS  Seriously? A 4.8MB application to basically do what any user can and go to ~/Library/Safari/ and select the file and then choose "Compress 'Bookmark.plist'" from the contextual menu?  
(Version 1.0)

ZWILLIAMS  You do realize your request is way out of the devs hands right? If you want Real Media file support; ask Real.com to open up their proprietary codec.  
(Version 1.31a)

ZWILLIAMS  Still runs excellent in Leopard. However there is a few quirks (not sure if it is at the hands of Leopard or Unarchiver): 1) ZIP file icons go blank. 2) When opening a ZIP file, regardless of how often you have chosen to run Unarchiver the same request box (stating that the software was downloaded) pops up.  
(Version 1.6)

ZWILLIAMS  Transmission just becomes better and better. If only more software developers would follow this example, and keep bloat to a minimal while adding clean and optimized features.  
(Version 0.90)

ZWILLIAMS  Thank you for the suggestion/question. But I already removed all my third parties just before installing 3.0. I did all the usual stuff, ran permissions fix and all that. It is just a turd for me.  
(Version 3.0b)

ZWILLIAMS  So far, it doesn't work at all for me. It'll start up fine, but it won't render any pages and eventually it takes a dump and dies.  
(Version 3.0b)

ZWILLIAMS  Great tool, glad it is finally UB.  
(Version 1.5)

ZWILLIAMS  I suppose you are right, but still it is a pretty narcissistic reasoning.  
(Version 1.0.1)

ZWILLIAMS  So you plop down cash for some eye candy? Wow... just wow...

*somewhere, some Wintroll is laughing*  
(Version 1.0.1)

ZWILLIAMS  Then why not use Burn or LiquidCD? They are free and both offer the same, useful features.  
(Version 1.0)

ZWILLIAMS  Just installed this less than thirty minutes ago, and so far no problems. On a side note, while this may not happen for others, it seems that my RAM footprint has shrunk significantly, just slightly more than half of my usual footprint.  
(Version 1.0)

ZWILLIAMS  Odd how this useful little (well to some people) tool has never been rated. I've used this little app quite a few times to download those pesky streams on Microsoft's game sites. It does what it says and it does it well.  
(Version 0.62)

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)

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)

ZWILLIAMS  @ SnowLprd:

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.

(Version 0.8.6a)

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

ZWILLIAMS  Does the same thing as Paparazzi. Except Paparazzi puts all the options up front.

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15966  
(Version 0.2)

ZWILLIAMS  I'd have to say the biggest problem with this thing is the fact that it's updated so often. Just yesterday, I downloaded b099, then this morning b101 went up, and now on SF is b103.  
(Version 0.12b0101)

ZWILLIAMS  I'd suggest taking a better look. It does support multiple CPUs. The graph to the left shows overall cpu usage history and the little graph to the right shows the current usage. Its split up into tinier bars, on my machine you can see all four cores.  
(Version 2.0)

ZWILLIAMS  Its a bit unfair to compare two different pieces of software that do separate things. Q is an emulator, Parallels is a tool for virtualization which means no emulation.  
(Version 2.2.1922)

ZWILLIAMS  Excellent replacement/alternative to BOMArchiver and I would highly suggest it to anyone. Remember to send some donations or something to the developer.  
(Version 1.1)

ZWILLIAMS  Oh... heh. Thanks.  
(Version 0.5.1)

ZWILLIAMS  Same problem here.

Quad Xeon 2.66GHz Mac Pro standard configuration.  
(Version 2.2.1862.2)

ZWILLIAMS  Thank you so much for porting this.  
(Version 1.43pre)

ZWILLIAMS  Where is the Universal version? This baby would scream on Quad Xeons.  
(Version 0.5.1)

ZWILLIAMS  You mean the other 6.25 billion people in the world.  
(Version 1.1)

ZWILLIAMS  "The "bloat" you state about Toast is due to the MANY MORE FEATURES available."

"LiquidCD is a simple burner - which is fine - but it has less than 25% of Toast's features."

Author: DP-G4-450Guy"

Please find something on Toast that I can't recreate without Toast. Those so called "MANY MORE FEATURES" are just bloated and often used extras.

I can create data media, music media, video media, and copy and create disc images. So tell me of all these features missing?

"Left off - LiquidCD is Tiger-only.

Toast 7 allows the vast majority of Mac users who are still at Panther to use it."

If you ignore the fact that you are forced to use a G4 or later, many of which Panther users do not have.

"Roxio is a major company, and their support will be vastly superior to what the LiquidCD developer can supply."

Sounds like someone is on the company payroll. I find it sad that LiquidCD which has only been out a fraction of the time is a better product and for free.  
(Version 7.1)

ZWILLIAMS  I suggest those interested in Toast look to LiquidCD first. Its not as bloated as Toast, its faster, and its free. And it pretty much handles all of the basic functions as Toast.  
(Version 7.1)

ZWILLIAMS  This thing is hardly a replacement for Adium. Adium is a true Meta-IM client. Adium also offers far more customization and flexibility.  
(Version 3.0b1)

ZWILLIAMS  Transmission just keeps getting better and better. A definite download for any Mac user that wants torrent. Between Transmission 0.6 and Bits on Wheels there is no need to even bother with any of the other clients.  
(Version 0.6)

ZWILLIAMS  The purpose of this software is to make working on your machine easier. If you've ever spent a good amount of time with a Window Server for Unix, Linux, or FreeBSD, it is one of the best things ever.

Instead of just hiding Apps you don't hide you can separate apps into different desktops. I use it all the time to keep my work and my personal stuff separate.  
(Version 0.52r155)

ZWILLIAMS  Awesome. Thanks for updating it to Universal Binary. You don't know how many Mac/Gameboy addicts you have just helped out.  
(Version 0.3.7)

ZWILLIAMS  This thing is a SCAM.

This thing is nothing more than a piece of junk aimed at fear mongering. None of that so called "malware" on their list is real. Try searching up any of the so called malware items and all you will get is a single back link to its own product page.

What a load of crap.  
(Version 2.1)

ZWILLIAMS  Superb product. It practically negates the entire purpose of having Toast Titanium 7 for me. :)  
(Version 1.11)

ZWILLIAMS  Absolutely wonderful Torrent client. Unfortunately some trackers do discriminate against Mac clients. I am unable to connect to anything tracked by TorrentSpy. Maybe an option to change who the client appears to be? I hate being stuck forced to use Azureus or the official Client to connect to them.  
(Version 0.5)

ZWILLIAMS  I don't know what the guy with review below is on, but whatever it is; it must be damn strong.

SITX is one of the worst archive formats I've ever had the displeasure of using. Only one set of applications from one company can open them. Their compression ratios are far from great.

StuffIt itself is an incredibly poor application. Allume releases software that wouldn't most developers wouldn't even deem a late beta. This thing has so many problems, it crashes, its slow, its ETA measurements are horribly inaccurate, it clogs up a machine like a half ton of doughnuts in someones heart.

I would suggest people look elsewhere and not fall for the SIT(X) lock-in. There are plenty of options. Tar, Zip, 7zip, Rar, Par, Dmg, Gzip, and others.

I have been using StuffIt since 4, and it just went downhill fast. I'm sorry Allume, but this software is a waste of time.  
(Version 10.0.1)
