Free online Video Downloader and Converter Program

randi — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:05:41 +0000

aTube Catcher lets you download videos from YouTube and other popular video sites without having to spend ages doing so. DsNet’s aTube Catcher provides a simple tool for watching video from the Internet and converting existing video to another format. While this would be more than adequate for most uses, it also provides a neat feature. aTube Catcher allows you to do everything from within the same interface: a tabbed window with specific areas for each function. The program can read the content of the Windows Clipboard and also supports drag and drop. What’s more, aTube Catcher works with all popular video formats.

The program’s interface was a treat, breaking both its primary functions into a few simple, intuitive command icons. At no point did we feel the urge to go to the Help file for clarification. All you need to do is give aTube Catcher the URL of any online video, and the program will converted it into the file type of your choice. While this is a simple process, the conversion nevertheless took longer than we expected, several minutes for a relatively short four-minute video. Once converted, the video played flawlessly, and it retained all its original material. The program also takes existing video and converts it to another file type. This function was much faster, and it also retained all the specifications of the original.

The program is relatively light on features, though it does provide templates for conversion so that, for example, iPod users don’t have to know exactly what file type they need to watch a video. The program automatically chooses the proper configuration. We enjoyed aTube Catcher’s simplicity and its excellent results.

This free program installs desktop icons without permission. While it could have downloaded faster, this slight negative was outweighed by its simple operation and impressive results.

Manage and Bost your Download Speed

FlashGet (formerly JetCar) is specifically designed to address two of the biggest problems when downloading files: Speed and management of downloaded files. If you’ve ever waited forever for your files to download from a slow connection, or been cut off mid-way through a download – or just can’t keep track of your ever-growing downloads – FlashGet is for you. FlashGet can split downloaded files into sections, downloading each section simultaneously, for an increase in downloading speed from 100% to 500%.

FlashGet offers these features:

Optimizes use of system resources so it doesn’t slow down your system.
Calls anti-virus automatically to scan downloaded files.
100% free, with no ad-ware, spyware, or malware.
Increases download speed and stability.
Supports HTTP, FTP, Bittorrent, eMule and other protocols.
Powerful files management feature.

After installation, a small dark icon with three lightly-colored triangles will appear in the upper right corner of your monitor. Until you place it elsewhere, the FlashGet icon will live there permanently, and is always “on top” of whatever program you’re using at the time. Simply drag the link you want to download onto the FlashGet icon, drop it and hit the Okay button; the file will start downloading automatically. We were able to download a 215MB file in less than 90 seconds with FlashGet, shaving more than a minute off the regular download time.

FlashGet supports more than bit torrent files, segmented downloading, and FTP recognition. It also has a Site Explorer feature that allows you to download multiple files from the same site in a Windows Explorer-style interface. Utilizing the instantly recognizable table, the Site Explorer cuts a lot of time out of navigating graphics-heavy sites, and it recognizes most file types.

PeaZip

tito — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 10:37:00 +0000

How can you keep your data safe and in a single place without making too much of a mess? One of the answers is archiving them. If you don’t plan on using them in the near future and you do not want them to take too much space on your computer then compressing them into one of the formats available on the market is a very good idea. Besides, you can protect them and prevent prying eyes from taking a look inside your documents by applying a password on them.

PeaZip is a free, open source file and archive manager for 32 and 64 bit Windows and Linux. It is available either as installable and portable application (not needing installation). Full support: 7Z, 7Z-sfx, ARC/WRC, BZ2/TBZ2, Custom (user defined), GZ/TGZ, PAQ/ZPAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, split, TAR, UPX, ZIP. Open, browse, extract, test: ACE, ARJ, CAB, CHM, COMPOUND (MSI, DOC, XLS, PPT), CPIO, ISO, Java (JAR, EAR, WAR), Linux (DEB, PET/PUP, RPM, SLP), LHA/LZH, LZMA, Mac (DMG/HFS), NSIS, Open Office files, PAK/PK3/PK4, RAR, SMZIP, U3P, UDF, WIM, XAR, XPI, Z/TZ (118 file extension supported).

Operating PeaZip is as easy as dragging files. Drop a ZIP file on the interface and PeaZip goes into decompression mode. Drop a regular file and it opens the archiving screen. Well-labeled buttons and simple functions make both processes quick and painless. Adding files and folders is also quickly accomplished using function buttons and traditional file browse tools.

or a better working with PeaZip the developer integrated the most used functions in Windows shell. Thus you can manipulate an archive without having to open PeaZip itself. The options are to be found in Send to context menu in Windows. The options are many and include archiving to 7z and ZIP, extracting, opening the archive, splitting the file, checking the integrity, etc. Despite the obvious benefits of the context menu integration I wish the menu was dynamic. This way, depending on the selected file only some of the options would make themselves visible.

Regarding the compression, I have to say that I am pretty amazed by both the speed of the operation and the compression rate. 500MB of text were finished in no time, faster then ZIP and 7ZIP. The output result was almost eight times smaller then the original, and took about three minutes to complete with a speed of almost 3MB/second. The result was insignificantly smaller in size then compressing the folder with 7-Zip with the same parameters (about 1MB smaller).

Accelerates Download Speed with DAP

randi — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 02:36:14 +0000

Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) 9.4 is the world´s most popular download manager with over 190 million installs worldwide. DAP provides the fastest possible download speed, and includes comprehensive privacy and file management tools. Increased download speeds are Download Accelerator Plus’s bread and butter, speeding up downloads by almost 200 percent in most cases and occasionally as high as 400 percent.

Besides splitting files into smaller pieces, it thrives on automatically seeking faster mirrors. It also can get a file simultaneously from several sites, which is useful if a particular site limits the download speed; it can resume downloads; and it can preview some media files while downloading. There’s also a blacklist for sites that you never want to accept downloads from, and categorized folders and filters to keep your downloads organized. DAP rolls in a media buffer, too, that allegedly will prevent streaming-video hiccups. Ensuring that you’re running the latest version of the Adobe Flash player won’t hurt, either.

Two new features include a UI change that lets users choose a Firefox- or Internet Explorer-styled download window, and integration with DAP’s publisher’s video converter. Downloading and converting video on the fly is a pretty smart way to keep the program fresh. The program will prompt you at your first attempt if you don’t have the converter installed and guide you through its installation. Frustratingly, the install process will weigh you down with a ton of toolbars, default switches, and e-mail recommendations that you must opt out of for a clean installation.

New feature in version 9.4.0.7 : Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) 9.4 provides the fastest downloads and the best overall performance. Changes include a power channel for consistent downloading, fully featured Firefox integration, and a plug-in for 64-bit Internet Explorer.

7-Zip Review

tito — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 06:00:30 +0000

7-Zip is a popular and free file compression program that is namely responsible for introducing the 7z archive to the computer world. 7-Zip is quite reminiscent of one of our higher rated programs, WinRAR, in interface and functionality. For a free program, 7-Zip is a decent file archiver that can compress and extract a variety of archive and file types. However, 7-Zip’s standard feature set and overall user friendliness kept it from ranking higher.

A command line version of 7-Zip is also available for Mac and Linux operating systems.

7-Zip includes a number of common file compression features like password protection, multi-volume support and integration with Outlook. However, 7-Zip doesn’t have anything particular that makes it stand out among the rest of the file compression pack.

Like most file compression software, 7-Zip does have full support with Windows Explorer and you can access almost any 7-Zip function by using right-click. You can also batch compress or extract using hotkeys and drag and drop; however, 7-Zip does not include this feature directly in the application. Additionally, 7-Zip supports the creation of self-extracting archives, but you have to download additional modules or plugins from the 7-Zip website. In future versions, we’d like to see 7-Zip include integrated support of batch conversion and extraction, the ability to convert archives and display overall compression ratio.

Compression: Excellent
7-Zip’s overall ZIP compression ratio was good and ever so slightly out performed WinZip’s “Legacy” compression option in our compression test. Like all of our file compression software, the best compression was in the Word and Excel files.

However, 7-Zip best performance occurs when using their 7z format. When using 7-Zip, 7z’s overall compression was about 17% better than the ZIP compression. Additionally, the 7z compression was on par with WinZip’s “Best” ZIP compression.

Compression Formats: Excellent
Compared to the other file compression software we reviewed, 7-Zip has a significantly smaller selection of compression options. Although it covers the basics like ZIP, the only other native compression it supports is for 7z and TAR. Although these formats are sufficient for most uses, we would like to see 7-Zip broaden its selection just a bit.

Extraction Formats: Excellent
Contrary to 7-Zip’s limited compression options, its extraction options are quite large. 7-Zip supports the extraction of 22 different archives and file formats including the popular ZIP and RAR formats.
Ease of Use: Excellent

7-Zip’s interface is very similar WinRAR and though not particularly difficult to understand, it does take a little trial and error to get used to. 7-Zip does include drag and drop functionality which makes creating new archives easier, but it does not include a Wizard.

Help and Support: Excellent
Like most free software, 7-Zip’s support is limited. Although it includes a built-in user guide and online forums, there is no active customer support through email or telephone. However, we found that the forums are active and many of your questions can be answered there, but unfortunately, we couldn’t find a way to “search” the forums for specific terms or topics.

Summary:
7-Zip is a decent and free file compression program that includes all the basic functions you’d expect to see in a file archiver. However, it is probably better suited for those who are a little more familiar with file compression.
