Yes! rss feed is clean now! Thanks!
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)
