If you manage or run a website (or just upload or download a lot of files by FTP) then you’re probably very familiar with FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The method of uploading and downloading files to and from web servers.

But what happens if you find yourself at a computer that hasn’t got your usual FTP program installed? Or maybe you just don’t wanna install another bloated program you’ll only ever use the basic functions of! What happens is you can go to the Web2ftp website and do it all from a webpage! That’s right, any server, anywhere in the world.

You just put in your FTP details such as server, username, and password, and work away as usual with uploading or downloading! You can even select multiple files at the same time by using the shift key. It supports file sizes of up to 50 Mb for download, 50 Mb for binary upload, and an editing function of up to 200 Kb files.

Tip : If while downloading, your browser tries to open a file instead of saving it, just right click and select “Save as”.

Deskloops is a program to help you navigate through your open windows easier. It creates a loop of all your windows which you can scroll through by going left or right. Alternatively you can go to the top of the screen and scroll through thumbnails of your windows.

Its much easier to watch it in action than it is to describe it, so check out the first video here entitled “Getting started” and you’ll understand clearer!

It’s a pretty well made program and the navigation system is pretty simple and uncluttered and gets the job done. Although i think nowadays many people will just stick to tabs. But for anyone who doesn’t use tabs, its worth checking out. Also the optional 3D effect feature looks pretty cool, but may get in the way after a while.

I’d recommend checking this out to anyone who finds themselves with a lot of windows open frequently and who doesn’t already use tabs!

You can download it here and read more info and watch some video demos/tutorials. Oh and its free!

• This version works on Linux under Wine
• Better handling of multiple sets of buttons in a menu.
• Fixed a problem with DVDs that have a very large number of buttons. The cleanup no longer fails, but might take a bit longer
• Improved the analysis to handle DVDs that have large numbers of menus (Ice Age 2 for example)
• The “Next” button in Step 1 no longer can be pressed if a valid DVD isn’t present in the selected drive
• Now checks for CeEKey.exe on startup, and offers to kill the process. CeEKey.exe has been found to potentially create problems when the PSL file is imported

Despite the serious sounding name, Democracy Player is actually a very good video player. But it’s so much more too. Aside from the fact it claims to play virtually all video formats (Quicktime, WMV, MPEG, AVI, XVID, and more), you can also search for videos from inside it!

Your chosen video or videos then downloads to your computer where they are kept for a default of 5 days before being deleted, but you can choose to save them forever too. It even allows you to search YouTube, Yahoo Video, Google Video, and more, right from inside it!

I was a little confused by the interface at first until i realised how simple it was, the “My Collection” link to the left is everything you downloaded, “New Videos” is downloaded videos you haven’t watched yet, and “Downloading” is videos currently being downloaded. So it’s all pretty easy to use!

It has lots of channels built in and feeds from video sites, so you’ll never be lost for something to watch!

I have a feeling we’ll be hearing a lot more about this cool program! You can download it for free and find out more info by checking out the homepage here.

Feed validation doesn’t sound very sexy, does it? I bet you keep yourself awake at night, don’t you, worrying if your RSS feed is perfectly formed? No okay you probably don’t, but if you are podcaster or a blogger then you will at least be interested to know there IS an online resource which can totally debug your RSS feed code.

Just type the address for your feed into the Feed Validator and it will go off, load your XML file and debug it for any obvious code bloopers. Usually if it gets through Feed Validator it will pass muster with browsers, feed collectors, iTunes, you name it. Also a good thing to check if your code is not working for some reason. FV will usually get to the bottom of the problem.

If you’ve had it with spam and you are looking for the final solution, you might want to check out Spam Blocker.

Spam Blocker is an application for filtering incoming correspondence. This is a very simple, convenient and fast protection tool for prior analysis, blocking and deleting incoming advertising letters (spam) immediately on mail servers.

What really makes this a cool tool is that it helps to get rid of annoying email advertising by analyzing correspondence before it is loaded from server. Spam Blocker checks all mail and receives the headings of all messages from the user’s mailbox (email addresses, addressee names, message subject, etc.) and analyzes the messages for spam content.

One other thing that I love about this tool is that you, the user, get to define the criteria it which it will sort your message, thus eliminating the risk of losing important mails that you are expecting.
