One thing that places a black eye on Download.com in my regard is the practice of wrapping installers in their own installer.Yeah, I really hate wrappers like this, and I immediately abandon all such sites.-wraith808 (August 08, 2019, 12:11 PM)
Alternative To offers alternative solutions to a lot of mainstream appsThe problem with this site is that the data is often stale, and the alternatives are usually not available anymore or the links are dead. Sometimes the "alternatives" aren't matched so well. That's my opinion, anyway. I've not had great success with it.-Target (August 17, 2019, 02:06 AM)
It's usually a good idea to try to separate your OS drive from any other files, that way if Windows ever has a hissy fit and decides to die, it doesn't really matter - a quick reinstall of Windows later and you're back in business. System clones (on a different SSD/HDD) make this even easier because if you keep on top of it (maybe do it weekly or before any major changes) then if Windows dies, you can just plug in your clone drive and get back to what you were doing...wipe the one that Windows crapped out on, then use that one as your new clone drive.I've tried putting Windows OS on one partition and program files on another - but this is a PITA to keep separated. There are so many programs that WANT to be on the C drive no matter what, even if you manage to keep some on another drive, there are always others that won't go there. So, long ago I gave up on that idea and don't split the OS.-Stephen66515 (August 17, 2019, 03:28 AM)
To be fair, we catch most spam within a few minutes of it being posted and it gets zapped.This is true - the spam does not appear on the forums, usually. But it does crowd my rss feed... I see *all* of them, I think. Probably 1/3 of my DC rss feed is spam.-Stephen66515 (August 14, 2019, 01:53 PM)
I too dislike W10.. and purposefully haven't bought new hardware (using intel gen 6 processor). That being said, 5 months down the road.. you won't have a choice.
Is it worth the stress and headaches trying to make your hardware run an OS that isn't "properly" supported anymore? I am not trying to discourage you, just food for thought.
Either upgrade to W10 or Linux (Mac is another expensive option), assuming you want your OS to be security patched and vendor supported (drivers and such).-Cloq (August 14, 2019, 08:39 PM)
So the unpaid version is artificially crippled. That's not what I would call a "freeware" software.-Tuxman (August 11, 2019, 08:00 AM)
Is the FreeCommander free also for commercial use?
Yes it is, you can use it free of charge for private and professional purposes. You may not however sell it for profit and you may not bundle FreeCommander in other software packages without affirmation of the author.
The functions of the donor release compared to public are the same with the exception for searching in the “PDF” files.
Also, you should consider to spend money. Paid file managers are (almost) always better than freeware file managers.I disagree with this statement. I've been a user and beta-tester for FreeCommander for years and years. I honestly can't imagine anything any other file manager could possibly do. It does absolutely everything. There are stacks and stacks of features that I don't even use all of them - and I'm a power user if there ever was one (speaking humbly here). The forum has always been active, and the authour responds.-Tuxman (August 10, 2019, 03:39 PM)
