The TE Essential Freeware Thread !

I would like to request users to post their requirements for freeware softwares.
Also post free softwares they are using to make their life easier.
 
I use networkx, and it's pretty f****** nice. Lots of reporting and customisation options.

And, it runs automatically on bootup for me.
 
Hi I am planning to use mipony Android to download stuff from office wifi. Is it possible for our network guys to trace what content I am downloading? I think they can only find out the size of the files if I am not mistaken. I am asking this since my content might include porn, is it same with u torrent? how to do it secretly?
Thanks
 
They may tolerate the behavior for some items, but p**n is a sackable offence in many MNCs. One guy lost his job in the company I used to work for. Stay away from it, at least when using office waves!

Hi friends,

I am looking forward to download videos from various sites while playing them. IDM does it pretty good but it is a paid software.

Is there any other such software avlb. for free?

regards
 
Great effort on this thread Sir.

Is there a Booster App to add ? I'm currently very fond of some new stuff. I've been using clean master and avast security.

Found this pretty much working best for me for Free.

Dr Booster
Dr Safety

The booster compliments my gaming. :)
 
5 utilities all my PCs have

  1. Share X - awesome screenshot / video grab / annotate / gif making stuff. It is by far the best I found.
  2. Clipboard Master - superfantastic if you are looking for copypaste and crazy automation stuff
  3. Instant Eyedropper - colour grabbing from anywhere!
  4. Deskpins - the easy way to pin windows on top!
  5. Eartrumpet - Custom sound for every app!
 
Using these tools mostly since more than a decade now....;)

  1. Deskpins: Keep any window always on top.
  2. Fastone image viewer: An image browser, converter and editor.
  3. Snapcrab: Powerful tool for taking screenshots.
  4. Super Finder: Powerful file search tool that improves upon the Windows default search.
  5. Core temp: The most lovable cpu temperature monitor.
  6. Gpu Z: The ideal gpu info and temp monitor.
  7. USB safely remove: A handy menu to stop devices and re-enable those stopped devices and much more to do for ssds and hdds as well.
  8. Meminfo: displays ram info on systray the way you want it to.
  9. Xmeters: Displays ram, network, CPU and storage info on taskbar occupying very tiny space.
  10. AIMP2/3: Best mp3 player out there since the day of good old Winamp.

I recently discovered this ImageGlass - A lightweight, versatile image viewer and I like it very much.
