*MMS (Microsoft Media Services)
*RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol)
*PNM (rename PNM to RTSP)
*BitTorrent

Main Features

1. You can use the simple but powerful "File Manager" to categorize and manage downloaded files more efficiently.

2. Simple multi-user management. You can maintain several databases by logging on Windows with different username.

3. You can use the inbuilt "Site Explorer" to list the directory structure of the remote server, and easily select the desired files. FTP is the most powerful item in NetXfer.

4. FTP reuse mechanism allows you to use one connection to get different files from the same site. If you like, you can use accessory FTP client tool called "FTP Transport (FtpXfer)".

5. The "Multiple Proxies mode" allows you to assign every working thread a different proxy to break certain site restrictions, like only one connection per IP.

6. Proxies with NTLM authentication can penetrate local firewall, like Microsoft ISA 2000.

7. You can adjust the bandwidth usage of Net Transport to ensure surf at the same time.

8. Monitor browser click. And you can add links through Internet Explorer extended context menu, or drag links to the "drop zone" window, etc.

9. Net Transport can automatically shutdown the system or hang up the modem once all downloads are completed.

10. Multilingual support for the user interface. I will be glad if you help me localize NetXfer.

15. Support SSH encryption, which is hardly found in other upload/download tools for Windows.

16. The flexible "Scheduler Manager" is also most powerful item in NetXfer. Even you can record the dynamic URL according to time and save it as your desire filename.

17. In version 2, you can record the clip with range. 18. On BitTorrent protocol, you can use proxy to download, upload by UPnP. NetXfer supports HTTP/HTTPS/UDP Tracker.

This Codec Pack is designed as a user-friendly solution for playing all your movie files. You should be able to play all the popular movie formats and even some rare formats.

Vista Codecs v4.50 Final / x64 Components 1.3.0 Final

2007-09-08T10:38:00.000+07:00

Post by palado

Codecs have always been a big problem for the computer users. That's because there has never been a 100% viable working solution available for the average computer user. There are several good codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything i wanted. I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a reinstallation just to get the codecs I needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn't play. I've never claimed to be a media guru. My media experience is to doubleclick a file i downloaded and hope that it plays. What I do know is how to package software. So I decided to package some codecs and share them with the rest of the world. With this package all possible conflicts are already dealt with. Many user suggested default settings are implemented,

If you have a suggestion of improvement, I'm listening.

It does not contain a media player and it doesn't associates filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play DVD's, movies and video clips of almost any filetype. Streaming video is supported in all popular web browsers. By default you won't need to make any adjustments to enjoy a variety of media content immediately. Users have the ability to choose what is installed using the public redistributable or after an unattended install, you can select to remove specific portions without removing the entire package. Future releases will recognize previous releases and are capable of performing upgrade installations.

ChangeLogs:
- add setup shortcut for newly created accounts
- update ffdshow components to 1465
- ffdshow now does multi-threaded decoding
- add support for HD Quicktime trailers
- improve .ts playback
- update several default codecs

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. Sandra is a (girl) name of Greek origin that means "defender", "helper of mankind". We think that's quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCIe, ODBC Connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

Native Unicode ports for 32-bit Windows (2000/XP/2003/Vista), 64-bit & x64 Windows (XP/2003/Vista) as well as Windows CE (Pocket PC 2002/2003/2003SE, Smart Phone 2002/2003/2003SE, CE .Net 4.20) are available.

MIT Technology Review Article

We are delighted to be the cover feature of the current issue of MIT Technology Review. It was fun for me to spend time with Scott Rosenberg, and to show him what we are doing here at Intentional Software.

The article discusses our ambitious goals. We are working on a very tough and very technical problem and we understand the skepticism. We have early users, they are very supportive of our goals and their feedback is vital during this critical stage of development.

Because the content is so technical, readers might have some additional questions on the details. We have addressed some of these topics such as Degrees of Freedom which addresses the concept of the “Law of Leaky Abstractions”, or what is the role of the Generator, or on Hungarian Notation.

Thank you again to Scott for taking the time to delve into Intentional Software, and congratulations for the publication of your new book, “Dreaming in Code”!And, lastly, thanks to all of you who are following us on this journey.

We will continue to keep you informed of our progress. By the way, I’m posting this from Star City in Russia where my space mission training is continuing for the April launch. Charles Simonyips. We are always looking for talented programmers. Please send us your resume if you want to join

Our big tenth anniversary party is over now, and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate. I know I had a lot of fun with the contests on this blog, and I hope you guys did too.

Speaking of blog contests, there’s still one more contest to announce the winners to. We spent some time and voted on our favorite five haikus, and the winners are: spmwinkel, Dave, Tim Heimerl, doog, and Mark Jones. Congrats to everyone! All of the submitted haikus were really creative, and you can read them in the comments to this post. The winners should see an email from me shortly requesting their info so I can ship out their swag packets.

Thanks once more to everyone, and we’ll do it again next year!

It’s time for another contest, and since you guys did so well making up captions for our anniversary picture, we decided to see if we could squeeze any more creativity out of you!

For this contest, all you need to do is write seventeen syllables about mobile devices. Or about Ilium Software. That’s it! Of course, the technicality is that they need to be in the form of a haiku. Before you rush out and dust off your old textbooks - let me remind you what haiku is all about, and the rules for this contest:

1. Haiku is a quick little poem, three lines long, consisting of 17 syllables

2. The first line is 5 syllables, the second is 7, and the third line is 5 again
3. Your haiku entry must be related to mobile devices or software in general
4. If you want to earn some extra points from the judges, write a haiku related to Ilium Software!

Want some examples? This site defines haiku for you, and has some sample poems. And check out this page too for some pretty humorous haikus. Oh, and our judges are a little lenient, too. If you think of something really, REALLY cool to write, but it’s one or two syllables too long, go ahead and submit it anyway! We’re not sticklers; just don’t write an entire sonnet! Keep them as short and sweet as possible.

Because sometimes you can’t rush creativity, I’m going to let this contest run until Monday, at 8:00 a.m. EST. Then we’ll choose our five favorite haikus. The winners will get an Ilium Software swag pack - 2 click-pen styluses, one stick stylus, and one luggage tag, and the chance to have your haiku read at the next Ilium Software Annual Poetry Slam. Oh, and as mentioned in the blog title, here is Ode to a Pocket PC, my example for the contest:

I grow impatient

As you sit in your cradle

Recharging for me
