   Review - HashTab for Windows

   1.8 (Nov 25, 2005)

   Yup, one of the first utilities I install on a new system too and I've use it regularly for ages. It's brilliant for when you want to do a quick dupe check between two files.
   
   HashTab get's my top rating. :)

   Review - µTorrent for Windows

   1.1 (Sep 23, 2005)

   Let me be the first to rate this lean, clean and very functional bittorrent client and say "What a breath of fresh air!"
   
   I have tested and promptly deleted a wide variety of bittorrent clients over the last two years because of excessive bloat and bogging down of my system resources. Compared to the (relatively) lowest-resource-use client I've been using up till now, this wee µTorrent is using 20% of the CPU and 15% of the RAM which that client did, and I have been testing it quite heavily for the last week.
   
   This is a great programming job here Ludvig...
   nothing that I don't need and everything that I DO need except for just two teensey weensey little modifications...
   
   I would like to see the "Done" and "ETA" statistics reflect the percentage figure of *only* the files which I have selected to download (rather than percentage of the entire file set, including skipped files). Also, the numerical statistics would be much easier to read if you made those columns right-aligned. Those two (very minor) criticisms were the only difference between me rating it a 4 and a 5 FWIW.
   
   If you are like me and run all your P2P clients off a crappy old PC with limited resources, then this is certainly worth taking for a test drive. I got it configged with my finnicky network and downloading files in less than 2 minutes...
   
   And not only that... but I can take it with me on my USB stick by creating a blank file in the program directory called "settings.dat". How cool is that even?
   
   Keep up the good work Ludvig and keep this puppy LEEEEEEAN ;-)

   Review - Windows XP Setup Simulator

   1.0 (Apr 25, 2005)

   I am an educator who often finds herself working with home computer learners and presenting computing demonstrations. It takes quite a bit of preparation and time to demonstrate new installations to students with real computer equipment, so I am going to find this utility invaluable in my work.
   
   I would give it an overall "5" if the spelling errors and a few minor bugs are tidied up. Aside from that tho. I give the developer top marks for their creativity!
