The ZIP Wizard
By PC Shareware, Inc.
ZIP files are simply collections of one or more files, that have been digitally compressed to reduce their file size. By compressing the size of those files, and then bundling them together into one single file, called a ZIP file, you make it easier to upload and download your files. A compressed file will download and upload much faster, thereby saving you time. There have been many formats for compressing files over the years, but the most common format is ZIP. The ZIP Wizard is the program of choice to create these ZIP files. The ZIP Wizard is by far the "easiest to use" ZIP utility available. The Wizard knows his stuff, and he will be happy to step you through the ZIPping process. The friendly (and cute) ZIP Wizard interface will make you feel confident that your files are being ZIPped up correctly. It''s as simple as: 1) Choose the files you want to ZIP up... 2) Give your ZIP file a new file name... That''s it! Presto! Like magic your files are ZIPped! You can even send your ZIP as an email attachment right from within The ZIP Wizard interface!
Rider
By SimpleNet Software
Rider measures network response time, bandwidth, and voice over IP or video streaming performance between any two computers on your network. It can run a "traceroute" command as well. Using Rider you can find out your network''s latency or response time from end to end; see how much bandwidth is available to copy files or carry business data; see if your network is ready for voice over IP (VoIP) by measuring jitter and packet loss or monitor an existing VoIP network; find out if your service provider is delivering on promises of uptime, speed, and bandwidth. Once you understand how well your network really performs you can spot problems, observe trends, and plan for future growth, new applications, and new technologies. Customizer plug-in allows customers to add their own scripts to the Rider menu. Use Rider to keep an eye on network links between users and servers, between buildings, and between remote locations. Use Rider to diagnose performance problems. If bandwidth and latency are good then you can eliminate the network as the source of a problem. Rider helps with voice over IP and video streaming deployment. Along with measuring jitter (packet arrival time variation) and latency Rider detects sequential packet drops that contribute more to lost call quality than any other single factor. Follow the online help instructions to compute estimated call quality values including "mean opinion score" (MOS) and R-Value. What sets Rider apart (aside from Rider''s low price) is its web page user interface. To run a test, you enter the URL for one Rider test agent in your browser and view a series of easy-to-understand menus that guide the user through setting up and running a test. Once you have a test you like, you can save your test as a bookmark and run it again and again. You can e-mail the test URL, or even make a test web page in your company''s intranet.
