2007-09-10T10:29:17Z 3588 4 I too have used Quicken for over ten years, but I'm sad to say that Quicken 2003 was the final and last version Intuit plan to release in the UK. This is a blow for home users for whom Quickbooks is an overkill/too expensive. IMHO, Quicken's UK version has been largely killed by the poor development of online banking in the UK and, in particular, the failure of the banks to provide integration with Intuit's products. 13723515 2007-05-02T11:08:46Z 697 2009-12-05T10:49:49Z Quicken 804 2009-11-18T19:56:20Z http://quicken.intuit.com http://wakoopa.com/software/quicken http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/260/normal.png?1238514966 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/260/thumb.png?1238514966 251 Intuit, Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/intuit-inc Finance and Accounting 56 Finance http://wakoopa.com/categories/office/finance mac win Quicken is a personal finance management tool, with a vast array of features. There are several versions of Quicken including, but not limited to: Quicken Basic, Quicken Deluxe and Quicken Premier. Each version of Quicken also tends to have the release year in the product name, (eg. Quicken Basic 2010). 2007-09-10T10:21:32Z 3587 1 The Kontiki P2P engine is used by several VOD services, including the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK. This service adds itself to your startup group without any notification. It hogs bandwidth and there is no settings in the associated player GUI to throttle the bandwidth usage (you can do this with a third-party app like Netlimiter). Overall, I have to say this is a poorly designed piece of software. 2381343 2007-05-02T11:12:09Z 752 2009-12-04T22:29:17Z Kontiki Delivery Manager 772 2009-10-29T14:10:04Z http://www.verisign.com/products-services/content-messaging/broadband-delivery/kontiki-delivery-management/ http://wakoopa.com/software/kontiki-delivery-manager http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/295/normal.png?1238515045 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/002/295/thumb.png?1238515045 344 Kontiki Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/kontiki-inc Sharing data with others 10 File sharing http://wakoopa.com/categories/internet/file-sharing win Kontiki was a digital media distribution technology company, founded in 2000 and acquired by VeriSign in 2006. Kontiki's peer-to-peer software, the Kontiki Delivery Manager provides the basis of many of the UK's video on demand services, including Sky Anytime, 4od, and the BBC iPlayer. Kontiki works using peer to peer technology. Rather than the user downloading the television program from a central server the users download from each other. This may be why Kontiki reseller ioko claim that using Kontiki "reduces IT & network costs by 70%-90%" The Kontiki client continues to run when a user closes the provider's application and will continue to share the user's downloaded content with other users on the network, using up the user's bandwidth without notifying them (except for the iPlayer). This can be particularly troublesome for users with Broadband connections that include a capped monthly download limit. To shut down KService after the provider's program has been closed, the command 'net stop kservice' can be entered into the "Run" dialog accessed from the Windows Start menu. 2007-09-10T10:20:44Z 3586 1 The Kontiki P2P engine is used by several VOD services, including the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK.

Currently, I am using it to transcode my VHS tapes ready to store on a portable HDD media player. The playback quality of the DivX files its a very close match to the VHS tape quality but the file size is only around a quarter of the equivalent VOB (transfer-to-DVD) files. I'm looking forward to the living space I will gain when I can finally put my VHS collection into storage! 371889 2007-06-01T13:49:18Z 29280 2009-12-05T13:49:49Z DivX Converter 1379 2009-06-30T15:35:31Z http://www.divx.com/divx/ http://wakoopa.com/software/divx-converter http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/006/657/normal.png?1238577801 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/006/657/thumb.png?1238577801 188 DivX Inc. http://wakoopa.com/developers/divx-inc Watching or listening to your favorite stuff 3 Audio & Video http://wakoopa.com/categories/audio-video mac win DivX Converter is an easy way to convert most popular video file formats to a DivX file which can be stored on HDD or burned on to a CD.
