I think you should Papa.

Go on you know you really wanna.

pkroks · Oct 28, 2005

yeah just post em, all the other users that have looked at this thread have not been bothered about posting any of their info on software, so why not just post it. to all those who have posted, well done for taking the time to help other users!

pkroks · Oct 28, 2005

i just switched to Opera 8.5... the speed increase is amazing! you also dont need a downloader like download accelerator or anything.. i have been getting higher speeds just downloading with Opera than all these download tools... those of you who don't have it, maybe try it...

LNCPapa · Oct 28, 2005

The reason for my hesitation is the sheer number of machines I use on a daily basis.
