BitTorrent

Version: 5.0.7

slow, buggy, and annoying

Pros: Install was easy. Worked with network right away. Good concept behind BitTorrent (but bad software).

Cons: Awful software that has gotten worst with newer versions. Download speed is slower than other BT clients. Some torrents outright reject this client. Buggish and does weird things when I run with other programs. There are better BT clients out there!

Leech FTP

Version: 1.3

I loved this program until I switched

Pros: I've used this program for years. Simple, easy to understand layout. Uses low system resources. Most importantly, it's free!

Cons: Does not automatically reconnect. It can't delete non-empty folders. When working with a large queue, sometimes a few files don't get uploaded. There are better free FTP clients available now.

QuickSearcher - Freeware edition

Version: 1.4

terrific text search

Pros: Text search looks in all documents (even html and php) for search term. It displays results and even highlights the text you searched for within the document! I recommend it for programmers and web designers. Also, the program loads much faster than Windows' default search.

Cons: The filename search could be better. Unless you surround your keyword with *, it searches for filenames that are strictly named that keyword.

Direct Connect

Version: 2.02

not bad at first but outdated

Pros: This was a pretty good program for finding rare files, but now I can find more stuff through BitTorrent and file hosting sites.

Cons: The main problem with this is that you can only download a file from one peer. So you can't get faster speeds if more people have the same file. Also, if the person leaves mid-download, you'll never be able to finish it unless you're both on at the same time again.

7-Zip

Version: 4.23

works with more archives

Pros: Works with non-standard ZIP and RAR files that don't work with WinZip or WinAce.

Cons: It would be nice if there was a back button on the toolbar, and the program supported drag and drop opening. The program is still good though!
