Bandwidth Monitor 2 Lite

Here's a simple, easy way to check on your current bandwidth use -- both uploading and downloading -- and to track your usage over time. This freebie displays that usage in a constantly changing chart so you can see the fluctuations in real time. It also shows you the current bandwidth use in a text display.

Bandwidth Monitor 2 Lite is quite customizable। For example, you can skin it and change the time span in which it measures bandwidth। Also very helpful is that it will keep logs of your bandwidth usage, so you can make comparisons over time.

Download Bandwidth Monitor 2 Lite


FlashGet

If you live to download, this freebie is for you. It's a great download manager that will speed up the process, keep you safe and help you organize everything that you've downloaded. Flashget makes downloads faster by using multithreading, and it lets you find downloads via many different protocols, including HTTP, FTP and eMule. It's also terrific at file management, showing you all the files you've downloaded, including information about each. You'll even be able to delete downloaded files from directly in the program.

Making it even more useful is that it integrates with your browser, so whenever you download, it jumps into action। It will also pause and resume downloads and works with your antivirus software to scan for viruses as it downloads.

Foxit Reader

What's the most annoying Internet-related application of all time? For many people, that question has a simple answer: Adobe Reader. Countless documents online are in the Acrobat format, so there's no way around it: You need Adobe Reader. But it's bloated and prone to crashes, nobody's idea of a good time.

Foxit Reader is a far better solution. It's small and loads much faster, so it doesn't take up much memory when you use it. It also doesn't seem to suffer from the same instability issues as Adobe Reader does. The program also has some nice extras, such as the ability to embed comments. (However, when you embed comments, the page you mark up will show that you're using an evaluation version of the software. You can pay for the Pro pack to get rid of those marks and get some other extras as well.)

Note that when I installed the program, it integrated directly into Internet Explorer as the default PDF reader, but it didn't similarly integrate into Firefox। To make it the default in Firefox, you'll have to select Tools, Options and then click the Manage button in the File Types area. Double-click each of the files that Adobe Reader opens, and tell Firefox to use Foxit Reader instead.

Zodiac Clock

Justify Full
The Moon is the satellite of our planet, and moves around it, as well as the Earth
moves around the Sun... Seems to be a common thing? Modern people are used to
considering this fact to be a general truth. But our predecessors didn't think so. For
quite a long period of time people had an absolutely different view of the surrounding
world.
Zodiac Clock 3D Screensaver offers you to travel through Time and Space to see
what ancient people thought of the place of our planet in the universe.
The rarity-like golden clock seems to be soaring in the outer space. Decorated with
extras from the ancient atlas, the face of the clock stands for the Earth, while its
semi-transparent outlining acts as an orbit for the Moon and the Sun moving around
our planet. The clock is encircled with 12 gorgeously shimmering zodiac
constellations: Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagitarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer,
Gemini, Taurus, Aries and Pisces. Zodiac Clock 3D Screensaver highlights the current
zodiac sign and shows the date, day of the week and month. With this screensaver in
action try to concentrate and listen carefully and may be you will share the eternal
wisdom of the ever-shining stars!
Zodiac Clock 3D Screensaver is based on the medieval drawings and atlas
illustrations created by astronomers and scientists of that time. Modern graphics
technologies in a perfect combination with the original music track instantly take you
up to the boundless night sky full of beaming starlight! Moreover, you can create your
own rules for this wonderful outer space journey by choosing your favorite music
tracks from your personal library!

PILIH-PILIH EMAIL

  Saat ini email memang menjadi bagian tak terpisahkan dari setiap orang. Ada jutaan akun email yang bisa ditemui di internet dan rata-rata aktif untuk berkirim dan menerima surat elektronik. Menurut artikel di Wikipedia, email sebenarnya sudah mulai dipergunakan sejak tahun 1960. Pada saat itu internet belum terbentuk, yang ada hanyalah kumpulan yang disebut sebagai mainframe dan terbentuk sebagai jaringan.

Email mulai dinikmati secara meluas sejak tahun 1980 atau sejak diperkenalkannya internet ke publik luas. Sekarang ini banyak perusahaan pos di berbagai negara menurun penghasilannya disebabkan masyarakat sudah tidak memakai jasa pos lagi.


Siapa yang tak kenal Yahoo atau Gmail. Layanan email dari dua nama tersebut merupakan yang terbesar penggunanya di dunia. Nyaris semua orang di dunia menggunakan layanan email dari dua nama tersebut. Memang, selain bisa diperoleh secara gratis, kapasitas mailbox yang disediakan pun besar.


Layanan email domestik, belum ada yang berani memberikan kapasitas email gratis, hingga ukuran gigabyte. Mungkin ini yang menjadikan layanan email domestik tidak begitu populer. Sebagian besar pengguna email domestik, mesti menarik email ke komputer, melalui pop3 agar luberan email bisa ditampung. Ini berbeda dengan layanan email luar negeri, karena kapasitasnya besar, isi email bisa dibiarkan di dalam server email, tanpa harus diunduh ke komputer.


Email domestik gratisan terkenal saat ini adalah Plasa.com. Beberapa tahun lalu, layanan email milik Telkom ini sempat populer, karena satu-satunya penyedia layanan email berbahasa Indonesia, pada saat itu.


Saat terjadi masalah jaringan internasional yang terputus dua tahun lalu, layanan email Plasa.com kembali populer, karena email yang servernya di luar negeri tak bisa diakses. Sayang, kapasitas mailbox yang diberikan terlalu kecil untuk ukuran saat ini.


Plasa.com adalah portal komunitas yang dibangun oleh Telkom. Selain email, portal tersebut juga menyediakan layanan komunitas sekolah, forum hingga bisnis hosting. Layanan emailnya cukup menarik, selain gratis juga bisa diakses dengan waktu lebih cepat karena letak server yang berada di Indonesia.


Selain Plasa.com, Telkom sendiri mengelola pula layanan email gratis berekstension telkom.net yang bisa diakses melalui mail.telkom.net oleh siapa saja. Email berekstension plasa.com maupun telkom.net berada di server yang sama sehingga kecepatan akses dapat dikatakan ikut sama.


Saat ini banyak pula orang-orang yang lebih memilih untuk mengelola email dengan domain sendiri. Ada yang membangun mail server sendiri, atau memanfaatkan jasa pihak ketiga. Banyak penyedia jasa server email. Yang populer, lagi-lagi, adalah Google yang berani memberikan server email secara gratis dengan kapasitas yang sama dengan Gmail, sekitar 6 GB per akun.


Google menyebut layanan server emailnya dengan istilah Google Apps. Di dalamnya, selain server email, disediakan juga layanan pendukung seperti editor dokumen, untuk membuka dan mengedit dokumen langsung dari email secara online. Pengguna cukup membeli sebuah domain dan layanan hosting yang membolehkan penggantian MX record untuk bisa menggunakan layanan server email dari Google.


Untuk versi gratisan, Google memberi batasan maksimal 500 akun. Untuk versi berbayar, jumlah akun tak terbatas dan kapasitas mailbox juga lebih besar, tapi per akun dikenakan tarif. ***
