Smartftp

I’m trying out SmartFTP, and I’m quite impressed.

For years I used LeechFTP, which has ceased development and is getting rather hoary with age. Any new FTP client would have to have the following features: free (not shareware, not a demo), multithreaded downloads, queueing support, resume-on-fail support, and an interface that wasn’t designed by a blind monkey. So far, SmartFTP has beaten out the rest on all of these fronts.

Solitaire

I knew it: “In its purest form, Klondike is very difficult to win. Cards are turned over from the stock to the waste in sets of 3 and there is no redeal. Playing this way you can win at best around 3% of the time. “
