Play Runescape? Get SwiftSwitch

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I’ve already written about AVG Anti Virus, one of our recent popular downloads, I think another download which is worthy of a mention is SwiftSwitch .

SwiftSwitch is a RuneScape client that plays both the RuneScape Classic and RuneScape version of the game. SwiftSwitch was created in Visual Basic 6 and uses the Internet Explorer shdocvw.dll control to view RuneScape. Which is exactly what Internet Explorer uses.

This download represents one of our most popular for a rating perspective. At time of typing, Swiftswitch has been downloaded over 24000 times. More importantly its received 815 votes with an average score being the maximum 5 stars.

Microsoft Direct X Drivers - Whats all the fuss about

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

The Microsoft Direct X Drivers were one of the first downloads added to Download2me and since this time they have been downloaded over 25,000 times! So why is this simple driver proving so popular?

Gane junkies, simply put DirectX is the multimedia system foundation for Windows operating systems. Through DirectX, programs take full advantage of your system to give you the best multimedia experience possible. This includes, updated graphics, faster frame rates, and support for massive multiplayer games.

It also offers more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in multimedia elements, such as full-color graphics, video, 3D animation, and surround sound.

Long Software Titles stuffing up my page formatting

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I really wish publishers would think about us poor software directories when posting their descriptions for their software titles.

We-do-not-like-it-when-you-link-the-description-of-your-software-like-this because it screws up the formatting of our pages, a page can only be so long you know! Come on guys!

Similarly, please remember to add the odd space in your descriptions when posting. It makes it so much easier to read and will also help users to find your software via the wonders of search engines.

Cheers

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

The guys from AVG, the folks behind the popular Anti Virus package registered as a download2me publisher a while back and have added the latest release of their great free Virus protection package to our site.

The software is proving a popular pick by our visitors, at time of typing the software is getting a straight five star rating with over 187 downloads of the software being made in the past 7 days.

Personally speaking I use this software myself and didn’t hesitate in giving this product one of our coveted Editor picks.
