They've improved their download speeds a bit, only took 10 mins for all 3 files [314MB].

Ah I just mentioned this in the Digital Art thread as well where we discussed this application

Bit miffed seeing as I took up the $100 offer earlier in the year.

So the only decent part is the free tutorials for me.

I thought I saw a tS icon on your desktop pic in an earlier post. I'm just glad that I signed up for proTeam when I did, as my subscription would have been up for renewal round about now. If they hadn't made 7.6 free I would still have probably got it anyway as part of the proTeam deal, & I've got most of the courses already, & would have been entitled to grab the rest before the subscription ran out, so in 1 sense I haven't got anything extra as a result of them giving 7.6 away free. On the other hand, proTeam seems to have been [for now at least] rendered pointless & non-existant, so I don't have to fork out £226 [approximately - it's usually $449 to renew, which is about £226 at current exchange rate].

Zattoo is good if you want to watch freesat channels on your PC, includes channel 5 as well, can also get french/other european FTA channels if you know how to

Use it from time to time.

Re: Freeware Alternative Software List

Possibly a bit specialised, but for those of you who use daisy books....

This software is a FREE daisy player for windows.

Re: Freeware Alternative Software List

Found this on my travels - free online storage for 10GB (ideal if you're about to format or backup) and £3.99 a month for 100GB of space (free for 14 days).

Re: Freeware Alternative Software List

Want to slipstream the latest Service Pack and all Hot Fixes to create an up-to-date Windows installation CD?

Then you need http://www.hfslip.org/

You'll need to follow the instructions carefully but it seems to do a great job. The hardest part is getting all the Hot Fix files from Microsoft. There are some complete(?) lists for Windows 2K, XP and 2003 here:

Yup no messing about with the Mods when it comes to spelling.

The spamming ban was just an afterthought.
