    It's about the same as what you described. Drag'n'drop. mosey on to any ftp:// url you can think of and play around. It's pretty handy when you want to move files around at school etc

    It is free, yes.

    just type ftp://ftpaddres.domain_suffex/ and login, if it doesn't auto ask you to login right click and go 'login as...'

    I want to recommend this but maybe it doesn't fit a category:

    Undelete Plus

    It is a freeware program that scans your hard drive for recoverable data. I was able to restore a vast majority of data in my D drive that was wiped out by mistake.

    I was able to use it for a client with limited success (I attribute this due to the time it took for me to acquire the software on the business network), but it was quite successful regardless.

    OOC:I've installed Urban Terror, and by some miracle it works on my computer. However, I've got no experience with PC FPS games, so I'd like to practice if I could... apparently, I can do this by setting up a private server and fighting bots. But the only instructions on the UT website are aimed at people who already know what they're doing, which I most certainly don't. Could anyone help, with a layman-friendly guide to getting it up and running? Thanks in advance.

    PDF Creator:
    When you install PDFCreator, it adds a printer to your computer (or a network printer), when you print to the printer, it opens the program and converts it to a pdf file, and you can save it wherever you want. You can auto-save documents you ‘print’ by using tags such as the date, time, your name or the computer name. There are also specific options for each save format. For example, with pdf you can set image compression, dpi and security, and with the image formats you can set the number of colours and dpi. Other Features include: Add passwords to documents; Send documents by email; Merge multiple files; Install as network printer; Supports other formats as well.

    yWriter:
    This program is a writer that allows you, the author, to easily create and organize various types of written forms of media. Organise your novel using a 'project', add chapters to the project, add scenes, characters, items and locations. Display the word count for every file in the project, along with a total. Tracks your progress: it saves a log file every day, showing words per file and the total. Saves automatic backups at user-specified intervals. Allows multiple scenes within chapters. Viewpoint character, goal, conflict and outcome fields for each scene. Multiple characters per scene. Storyboard view, a visual layout of your work. Re-order scenes within chapters.

It offers innovative clipboard handling, cryptographic options and logic text conversions, great for education, fun, or privacy. EDXOR is small, self-contained, dependency-free and very fast. It provides over 90 menu items, including many unique functions and options, for diverse applications.

    This light, free application is quite useful when editing web pages and the like.

    Win32Pad:

    Notepad replacement, very small in size, doesn't require any extra runtime dlls, very fast and powerful. Has a ton of features like MRUs, Find/Replace, Intellimouse support, shows current location, # of lines, file offset, file size, Goto Line #, Shows Insert/Overwrite editing mode, Can change Font Color/Size/Character set/etc.

    This is a more general notepad replacement, and I have found it to be incredibly useful when writing FAQS and/or Walkthroughs for various websites (mainly GameFAQS).

    WordWeb:

    WordWeb is an English pop-up dictionary, thesaurus and word finder, free for personal use. It includes a comprehensive English thesaurus and dictionary, and can be used to look up words from within most programs.

    I personally love this program, and find myself using it every single day.

    GraphCalc:
    GraphCalc is an all-in-one solution to everything from everyday arithmetic to statistical analysis, from betas to Booleans, from cubes to calculus, from decimals to derivatives. GraphCalc combines all the features of a professional mathematics package with the simplicity of an easy to learn windows interface. It provides user-friendly help and tutorials to guide you through the easy and fun process of mastering GraphCalc.

    Although I am no longer in Calculus, I still fiddle with this application from time to time, simply because it's terribly fun to graph 6 equations at once and create some interesting designs from various functions.

    AllerCalc:
    This is a calculator that allows you to directly enter an expression to be evaluated. It features a rolling display storing all your recent inputs and results. More than 40 functions are supported, including algebraic, transcendental, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and financial functions. Also included is a detailed help file containing syntax, usage, and examples for all supported functions. The calculator also provides a list of common physical constants, and it performs various conversions between English and metric units. It supports more than 100 built-in functions, as well as the ability to define your own constants, conversions, functions, and calculations in any numeric base from 2 to 36, and it has the ability to store results in an unlimited number of variables.

    SampleCalc:
    This tool calculates a given length in seconds of an audio sample into temp in BPM and reverse. You can also adjust Number of measures and beat resolution.
    Length can be read directly from wave files.

    Also included a calculator for time/tempo stretch rate calculation if you want to adjust tempo or time to a fixed value (e.g. matching to the tempo of a sequencer song).

    Length of a song can also be calculated from tempo and number of measures as well as length of single notes.
    Additionally the frequency of note lengths is calculated (e.g. for oscillator adjustment)

    An integrated beat counter allows DJs to measure the tempo of a running song.

    NumericalChameleon:
    The NumericalChameleon is a free, open source, platform-independent and localized software to convert units. It converts numbers with a precision of up to 1000 significant figures. It supports more than 3200 units in 82 categories, including not only all important physical units of categories like length, area, volume, electricity, magnetism, force, power, energy, pressure, mass, temperature, velocity, acceleration, radioactivity and time, but also exchange rates, timezones, spoken numbers (literally and by audio*), roman numbers, 35 radixes, bits&bytes, screen resolutions, colorcodes, unicodes, international dial codes, calendar and holiday calculations, phonetic alphabets and more. It provides a modern, dynamic and graphical user interface.

    You have unlimited access on all categories, units, icons, filters and themes. You can add, modify, hide or delete them. All configuration data are stored in flat files. You can update exchange rates from several webservices.

    WinRoll 2.0:
    Make a window roll into its title bar, send it to the back or make it stay on top. Minimize, maximize or close all visible windows, including minimizing to the tray area. Make a window translucent on Windows 2000 or above.

    Likely has limited usage for most, but I have found it useful when I have around 15 or more windows open at once (which I strangely seem to have quite a bit).

    Inno Setup:
    Inno Setup is a free installer for Windows programs that rivals and even surpasses many commercial installers in feature set and stability. Support for all 32-bit Windows versions in use today, create a single EXE to install your program for easy distribution online or on disk (disk spanning is supported), standard wizard interface, including support for the latest Windows 2000/XP wizard style. Full source code is available, features include; Creation of shortcuts anywhere, including in the Start Menu and on the desktop. Creation of registry and .INI entries. Customizable setup types, e.g. Full, Minimal, Custom. Complete uninstall capabilities. Installation of files. Silent install and uninstall.



    Also, since Discord is now banned - though i have no idea as to why he is - I can volunteer to maintain this topic. If that means creating a new thread, then I can do that, or perhaps a moderator can work some forum magic, I don't know.

    Since no one has mentioned the Project Touhou games, I'll suggest them now. The entire series (including the story, game programming, and music composition) was basically done by one guy. Most of the games are vertical scrolling curtain fire shooters (aka 'shmups' or 'danmaku'), and are pretty challenging, but a couple of the games are different ('The Highly Responsive to Prayers' is more of an action/puzzle game, and 'Immaterial and Missing Power' is a fighting game).

    You can download the games here. I strongly suggest you pick up the old ones too, since the filesize is relatively low and the games are still pretty fun.

    <a href="http://www.skype.com/">SKYPE</a>: Free long-distance calling via PC to other Skype users. Good video support, sound quality, ease of installation and use, and pretty much everything. The paid services aren't too bad, either, but that's not what this is about.
