Allows graceful recovery and resuming if you are disconnected
in the middle of saving a file from the web to your PC's hard
drive.
For example: if you have finished getting 95% of that 10
megabyte file and get disconnected, GetRight just finishes
getting the last 5% without restarting from the beginning!. The
only draw back to the program is that the server you are
downloading from MUST support partial requests. Now catches
clicks in Netscape.

Flying Toolbars offers a display enhancement to Netscape
Navigator. This toolbar strongly resembles the navigation toolbar
of the Web's most popular browser and provides the same
functionality, but Flying Toolbars automatically hides itself
when it's not being used.
The compact window remains hidden and appears only when you move
the mouse pointer to the upper or lower edge of the screen. The
effect of this is a significant increase in the Web page viewing
area, eliminating the need to constantly toggle the standard
Navigator menus.

Very handy and easy to use program that will clean the registry from leftovers and errors, after installing so much shareware and then deleting it your registry is probably full of errors, this will check the registry and remove them. The result is a smaller, faster loading registry. Originaly created for programmers but a great addition to anyones System Tools folder. Version 4.1 is smaller and now it creates an UNDO *.REG file, you can open it with a text editor to see what keys RegClean removed from the registry or you can doubleclick on it to put the garbage back in the registry should you decide you need it.

Using MPEG layer 3 audio compression, it is possible to
compress large audio files to near 10% of their original size,
with no audible loss of quality. WinAmp simply takes these
compressed files and decompresses them in real time, while
sending and buffering output to your computer's speakers. The
result is incredibly small files delivering astounding acoustic
quality. In fact, the compression is so significant that it is
possible to download a CD-quality stereo soundfile on an ISDN
line and listen to it simultaneously! Other standards exist for
the 'buffering' of audio as it is downloaded, but MPEG layer 3 is
the most significant in that it is based on a widely accepted
open standard, and the algorithm delivers the highest quality per
unit bandwidth available.
