Fishbowl Facebook Client for Windows

If you are a Facebook addict and want to bring it to your Desktop, try out Fishbowl. This application is built by Microsoft own developers on Silverlight 4 platform. It allows photo browsing, zoom, photo slideshow, drag drop images and is completely ad free.

JDownloader

JDownloader is a download manager for downloading files. Its based on open source platform and written in Java. Good thing about JD is that it allows multiple RapidShare, MegaUpload etc links download. We know that rapidshare links are the most reliable, speedier. However they require free users to wait as according to there policy 'free, fair and equal use to all'. If you got any rapidshare media/soft etc link in parts, JD will do the waiting stuff on its own. Also JD automatically recognizes captcha, file extraction and imports CCF, RSDF, and new DLC files. If you want to avoid the wait time, there are two options. One is to use a premium account or else configure JD to work with their routers. Second option require dynamic internet connection. But still JD team is working on auto router detection, since every client router configuration differs.

Requirement: JDK/JRE 1.5 or higher
