Thanks to the constant improvement of broadband connections, watching TV over the internet is now possible. The current trend is to use Peer to Peer (P2P) technology to stream media quickly to consumers. TVU Player allows you to watch major cable channels over the internet, by sharing your bandwidth with other users.

TVU Player usually streams around 20 different channels, from a large American sports network to the major Chinese television channel and you can watch everything from gossip to movies or sports. TVU Player is extremely simple to use, you only have to double click on the channel of your choice, wait a few minutes for it to buffer, and start watching. Refreshing every now and then lets you check whether new channels are on offer.

TVU Player is a bit unstable, so you shouldn’t be surprised if it fails to initialize or if the channel you are watching tends to lag. If very few people are connected to the same channel you might get poor streaming quality, but if you are watching a popular program there should be a good number of peers sharing the load and the transmission will flow. Always remember to check the number of peers before watching a channel.

TVU Player doesn’t let you set your preferences, like your preferred bandwidth speed or which port to use and there is no way of getting extra information on the channels. There is a command button, but we couldn’t figure out what it was meant for, and TVU Player lacks help files to guide you out of problems. The interface window is mid-sized but you can’t enlarge it, though even if you could, we believe you would end up with a pretty poor quality image.

In other words, TVU Player is far from polished. However it’s an exciting application, which opens up the possibilities of television on Internet. While not everybody might be interested in watching Koweit TV, TVU Player still streams big American and Chinese channels and the other eclectic content. Don’t get taken aback by the instability of the application. If you have a solid broadband connection and a keen sense of curiosity, we suggest giving it a try to get a glimpse of the near future of television.

If you are the type of person who always changes your mobile ring-tone, this application is a must-have for you. EZ Ringtone allows you to convert music, either from CD tracks or mp3 file, to different ring-tone formats compatible with all modern devices.

The interface is really clear and simple: you just have to open an audio file to have an image of the right and left channel. Then select the part of your music you would like to convert to a ring-tone and press the format button compatible with your mobile. That’s it.

It’s annoying though that the trial version limits the duration of ring-tones to 5 seconds and it is a shame that there is not even a simple editing tool. It would have been good, for example, to have the possibility of mixing different parts of a song or maybe different titles as well. A fading or echo effect to end the recording would have made the final ring-tone a bit more ’professional’.

The tool that compresses MP3 files size from 30% up to 70% is also useful, saving valuable space on your mobile phone in case it’s not yet as capacious as a proper MP3 player.

Don’t be bored with your ring-tone ever again and drive all your co-workers mad with your favourite songs!

WebDrive is more than an FTP Client. By connecting to WebDAV, FTP, or SFTP servers through a virtual drive, files are transferred by simply saving them to a drive letter. There's no need to run a separate FTP client interface. Unlike typical FTP clients, WebDrive lets you open and edit server based files without the additional download step.

WebDrive has built-in support for the industry standard SSL protocol. When used in conjunction with secure WebDAV, FTP or SFTP servers, WebDrive will open an encrypted tunnel between the client computer and the remote server; giving you secure transmission of critical data over the Internet. WebDrive can even be used as an alternative to a corporate VPN. Install the WebDrive client, and an SSL enabled server, and WebDrive can act as the VPN for your company, an efficient alternative to an expensive VPN or non-secure FTP client connections.

Features:

• SFTP support
• WebDAV support
• Firewall/Proxy server support
• SSL Support for secure file transfer
• FTP resume interrupted download
• File caching to enhance FTP Client performance
• S/KEY Password Encryption - MD4 & MD5 for supported FTP servers

If you've ever needed to test digital signals, then this could be the kind of tool that appeals to you. If you've got no idea how to test digital signals, or any need to, then it will be of no use to you at all.

WinIQSIM is a laboratory environment with all the necessary tools for the analysis and evaluation of digital transmission systems. You can simulate all systems involved in the process of modulation and reception of signals. The program does this by allowing you to define blocks of data sources, configure them and even simulate signal distortion or interference. The instructions are extremely hard to follow though for the none initiated. The developers advise you that "The signals generated with the aid of the R&S® WinIQSIM™ software can be output by the integrated solution in the R&S® SMU (option R&S® SMU-B10) and the R&S® SMIQ (option R&S® SMIQB60) as well as the Arbitrary Waveform Generator R&S® AMIQ. R&S® WinIQSIM™ is provided with these three arbitrary waveform generators free of charge." Therefore, it's worth reiterating that this is only designed for those that know specifically what they are doing with digital wave signals.

Seems like a highly complex and useful program in the right hands but none scientists need not apply.

The main window of AdapterWatch displays the current configuration and information about your network adapters. You can also view general TCP/IP/UDP/ICMP statistics for your local computer, by clicking the desired tab. The first tab collects information on network cards, services (WINS, DHCP, DNS, etc..), data transmission, addresses, etc. In the second are the statistics TCP/UDP data errors, connections and many more details. The third and fourth relate to the IP statistics and ICMP data. Finally, the fifth and final tab displays the host, domain, DNS servers, the types of nodes, the name of the DHCP, routing, proxy ARP and DNS. In all, you've got a highly detailed breakdown of your adapters and what they are doing at any one time.

A simple tool that combines in a single interface, a huge amount of data across all of your network adapters.

Although Internet speeds are getting quicker and email providers are offering more mailbox storage space, it's still no excuse for bombarding people with huge attachments. Yes, I know it's much easier to just dump the original file you want to send into the message, but programs like WinZip Companion mean you don't have to do this. The application allows you to zip and unzip files within Outlook with the greatest of ease.

WinZip Companion delivers several useful tools for helping you achieve smaller file sizes. The plug-in, which works exactly like the popular WinZip utility, provides a handy interface for compressing files directly before they are sent. It can bundle several different files into a single attachment, making things a lot easier for both you and the recepient of the email.

It's also very secure, because the software boasts built-in 256-Bit encryption. This means you can apply passwords to attachments so that they can only be opened by those who are authorised to do so. You can also opt to exclude certain file formats from compression if you so desire.

If you're an Outlook user and you send and receive attachments regularly then you can't afford to be without this program, as it will dramatically speed up transfer times and save precious space in your mailbox

Sharing your music, pictures, videos and documents with pals used to be a very arduous task. You'd have to copy everything onto a floppy or CD, get on your bike and travel to their house and present it to them. Thanks to growing Internet speeds and more hosting sizes it's now so much easier to get these files to your friends. Upload 2000 Turbo respresents a good example of how file sharing technology has evolved.

The application lets you take advantage of unlimited mail server space to share files via P2P. Because Upload 2000 splits the files into smaller chunks, the data transmission takes place very quickly, though the speed also depends on the server you're using. The program is different to normal P2P solutions, and it doesn't contain a search feature. As a result you can only really share files and folders with people you know, but this is not necessarily a bad thing because it means downloading files is much quicker.

If you want to take advantage of unlimited server space to exchange files quickly with your friends and family, Upload 2000 provides a simple, yet comprehensive solution.

Unlike many firewall products, ZoneAlarm products protect your PC from unauthorized inbound and outbound communications.

When a hacker tries to access your PC, that's an unauthorized inbound communication. A hacker can gain access to your Internet-connected PC in several ways, such as through an e-mail attachment or a link included in a phishing e-mail. A basic PC firewall can automatically identify and block such communications.

If a hacker succeeds in accessing your PC, he could install software designed to capture and transmit your personal data (such as online banking passwords). The transmission of that data back to the hacker is an unauthorized outbound communication. Unlike most basic PC firewalls, ZoneAlarm products automatically identify and block unauthorized outbound communications.

Data transmissions are vital and became a necessity nowadays. Whether you share your private messages with your close friends, or business/commercial secrets with your partners, you must protect your confidential information from hackers, your boss, or your competitors. But we live in an insecure world where unwanted persons can access your personal information (like e-mails or personal documents) and often use it against you.

SecureKit enables you to use digital data hiding techniques (steganography) to hide and encrypt files within other files (carriers) such as picture or sound files. This allows you to encrypt sensitive information, while at the same time hiding it in a file that will not look suspicious, so nobody even knows that there is any encrypted information.

The carrier files are fully functional and identical to the original files (except for size), so if data was hidden in a picture file, the picture can still be viewed normally. The program gives you the option to hide a small text message, or one or more files that you select. It uses 256bit encryption, advanced compression and you can specify a password to extract the hidden files.
