3.05 Beta (May 3, 2007)
I've used this litte gem for about 4 years now, ever since I ran across it I dunno where... It out-performs commercial utils of the same sort (any-read, etc) ... I've had better results, in shorter time, on such tasks as recovering data from a barely un-dead hard drive (I do security and Forensics) The author deserves high praise for contributing a tight, useful, effective FREE tool!
THANK YOU

In agreement with you there -- SOMETHING is eventually going to tilt the scale (or not).
Also agree that ebay is not only greedy, but a PAIN in the A** to "negotiate". They brought in their followers with a fairly simple, secure, and straight forward service. Using it now is much like getting through airport security to buy over-priced peanuts. There are some smaller, more "left of center" sites, such as storm-pay which at my last check had automotive postings FREE....
What keeps ebay, and Google, afloat is the vast majority of knee-jerk mouse-clickers that don't know how to find better services. Yahoo, For a researcher of "obscuria", leaves google in the dust. Gigablast isn't far behind. Also, these engines work just fine through my firewall that blocks most all the tracking snoopz.
Try blocking "Above net revenue Science" (209.249.142.0-209.249.142.255) and Gurgle gasps and sputters ;-)
Not such a bad thing. There will be enough "smart traffic" hitting the better providers and services to keep them improving... And available for more discerning netizens...
Will be interesting to see how this pans out.
