I've been off the PC for a couple years now and need to catch up. There's also CrazyBrowser, which is a freeware alternative that does much the same thing (although not /quite/ as well as netcaptor, imho).Īlso, if there is any kewl shareware that doesn't fit in the above categories that I should know about, by all means tell me about it. Personally, i use NetCaptor (shareware), which uses ie's renderer, but adds tabbed browsing, popup killing, and a bunch of other stuff. It's buried under advanced options if you really want to turn it off. These fucking things bug the hell out of me and it escapes me why IE on Windows doesn't have a "turn off javascript" button like the Mac version does. SmartFTP: freeware, no other recommendations needed.Ī good popup ad killer. I need recommendations for an FTP client. Scripts use WSH or plugin dlls, so most of them are in VBScript _ (although JScript is also available by default, and you can get perl, python, and a bunch of others too if you want). Klient: i never particularly liked version 1 (freeware), but a lot of people did, version 2 is now in beta and is pretty nice, but is apparently going to be shareware. Mirc: shareware, unlimited trial, no nags as far as i can remember, but personally, i don't particularly like it (unpleasant interface, ass-tastic scripting language, and until recently it didn't support multiple servers)īersirc: freeware, but somewhat buggy in a few areas (notably DCC), and development is currently rather stagnant (first a version two was started in delphi, then that was scrapped and work was started on re-writing it in c++, now it appears that's been scrapped as well (or at least placed on hold), and work has been shifted back to the current (1.40) codebase in order to hunt out as many bugs as possible and release a 1.50 version) I need recommendations for an IRC client. Shareware is good as long as it isn't nagware.
It has not been updated in ages, and now it's time I started collecting all sorts of handy shareware software for it. Being primarily a Mac user, I also own a PC which I have recently reposessed from my sister.
