In the digital age of people downloading everything possible -- whether it be a program, music, or movies. It is a constant frustration to wait and wait for something to download and then get broken off from the website when 90% complete. Well, Fresh Download can help. Included in its large list of features is the ability to open more than one connection to the download site, maximizing your download, and the ability to resume a download where you left off should you get disconnected. This tool can also be integrated with your favorite web browser and antivirus program offering seamless protected integration into your existing environment. [JR]



PalTalk PV75

Communication is key these days as people are using all different types of outlets. Instant Messaging is a great cheap way to communicate over all distances, however not everyone can easily express their ideas by pounding on the keyboard. If this is you then you may like PalTalk. PalTalk offers the ability to use audio and video instead of a keyboard, or you can drop back to the keyboard for old style Instant Messaging and with only a two megabyte download size its at least worth a look.
