Mac DVDRipper Pro 1.4.2 (Mac OS X)
Crashes on start up with PAL dvd 
Experienced the following with PAL disks (several) when in Demo mode Starts up just fine with no dvd loaded. Once the dvd is loaded and recognized, the app terminates (showing my age: it abends). If started with the dvd already loaded, the app abends immediately. Also, in preferences, the "change destination" opens a window that does not have, as a button, "create new folder." Tried some of my NTSC dvds and it does not abend. So, I deleted it. [alert admin]

Transmission 1.73 (Mac OS X)
I am a Transmission fan since version 1.6x. While this version fixes stuff that were not an issue for me, it shows that the developers are actively interested in keeping the product as fresh as possible. It seems to offer features (like the bad peer blocker function and a per-torrent priority) that other P2P clients do not have. It's setup was intuitive for a novice, like me, and overtime the setup options have become familiar to me; what I am trying to say is that it comes operational 'out of the box' and gives you the time to learn how tweaks may be able to improve its performance in your ISP environment. In my experience, the concepts of P2P is something that takes a while to fully understand (if that is possible) and the Transmission product gives you the time to grabble with understanding what that environment is all about while using the P2P world. My wish is that a user adjustable parameter be added to allow the user (me) to set the number of seeding peers per torrent. Now, this number is now fixed at 15. A global parameter would be just fine; a parameter per torrent would be elegant. I have plenty of bandwidth that is not being used and if I could offer more seeders per torrent then I would feel as a 'better' contributor to the P2P concept. This product alone would be reason enough to switch to a Mac if I were a Windows user. [alert admin]

Transmission 1.50b5 (Mac OS X)
For some reason, the 1.5b5 did not work in the sense that no uploading or downloading occurred. I downloaded the nightly version 7870 and tah-tah, the same torrents that were 'non functioning' with 1.5b5 started immediately to upload/download. Another observation: uploading seems to be capped at 15 peers no matter how many torrents are running (even 1). I have plenty of unused bandwidth. This has been the case since I started using Transmission from the early 1.42 version. Did not use version 1.41. Would like to have more uploads. I use 10.5.6 on an iMac Intel duo, 2.4Ghz [alert admin]

Transmission 1.50b3 (Mac OS X)
These are errors that I have never seen in over 8 months use of the various versions 1.4x. Taken from the message log (small example): 2009-01-19 01:29:24 -0500 net.c:502 [Error] Transmission: Couldn't connect socket 55 to 2001::4137:9e50:2c98:fe3:7df2:5f51, port 62031 (errno 65 - No route to host) 2009-01-19 01:30:36 -0500 net.c:502 [Error] Transmission: Couldn't connect socket 77 to 2001::4137:9e50:1404:1cb2:b94a:201b, port 39154 (errno 65 - No route to host) 2009-01-19 01:30:36 -0500 net.c:502 [Error] Transmission: Couldn't connect socket 77 to 2001::4137:9e50:1489:1d2d:bd15:3007, port 63375 (errno 65 - No route to host) Reloaded v1.42 build 7746 and this error went away. Listen port was open in both situations. [alert admin]

Transmission 1.41b3 (Mac OS X)
Appears to be an upload peer limit
Started using Transmission with 1.41b1 and have updated to 1.41b3. I have noticed that when I am seeding, the number of peers that receive uploading is 'limited' to 15. This is independent of the number of torrents that I have active as the limit of 15 occurs when I have 1 torrent active or 10. The peers 'in waiting' report: "Peer wants you to upload, but you do not want to (interested and choked)". I have plenty of bandwidth, so that is not the issue; I can offer some three times the amount of transmission bandwidth that Transmission typically uses. The peer uploading limit occurs even when all active torrents (or just with 1 active) are marked with 'unlimited' bandwidth for uploading. There must be something else besides bandwidth limits that is causing the choke. But what? I tried version 1.34 and I noticed the same peer limit for uploading, but the count was 13 rather than 15. Maybe I have setup my prefs incorrectly (but I have tried many permutations) or there may be a built-in limitation that I cannot adjust. In the larger view, this is no big deal but I do wish I could seed to more peers and reduce their frustration. [alert admin]

Bonez ScreenSaver 1.3.2 (Mac OS X)
Does and LCD screen need a screen saver?
Not really. CTR displays used a phosphor-based technology that were stimulated by an electron beam to make a colored display. When an image was on the screen too long the phosphors would sometimes "burn out" with the constant energy and leave that ghastly image on the screen commonly called "BURN IN". An LCD screen uses a completely different technology, (liquid crystals that are charged and illuminated with a backlight). Charging the liquid crystals actually reduces the screen life by using the backlight. An LCD screen can sometimes get what is called "IMAGE PERSISTENCE" which kinda creates a ghost image on the screen. This is usually only a temporary problem which can be easily fixed by creating a background that is completely white and have the screen display that for a few hours with the brightness turned way down (saving the backlight). In my book, using a screen saver on an LCD screen is actually a screen destroyer. [alert admin]

Google Earth 4.3.7284.3916 (Mac OS X)
Running 10.5.4 on Intel iMac. Barely launches when it crashes. Very old version (4.2.198.2451) works with all the warts since 'fixed.' Downloaded from the application's help "Check for updates". Did not indicate that update was a beta. Perhaps my expectations are set too high, but if a beta is released that does not even launch, is it worth releasing? [alert admin]

DVD2oneX 2.1.0 (Mac OS X)
After down loading about 6 times, this version of the app fails to launch. Icon jumps up and down in the dock for about 10-15 seconds and then comes the failure message. Looking at the developer's forum, this problem is being reported by many users of this version. Running 10.9.3 on a 1.5GHz G4 Diver [alert admin]

Page Sender 3.3.1 (Mac OS X)
My new mac runs OSX 10.3.8; I use MS Office 2004 v11.1. I am unable to use page sender with any of the apps within the MS suite. Does anyone have suggests as how to use page sender with these apps? I am sure this is not a page sender problem rather it is a Microsoft problem. MS seems to have no effect fax software of its own (at least I cannot find it and MS help fundtion provides not guidance. I hope there are upgrades to either programs/suite that can allow my to fax from, say, MS Word. Chuck [alert admin]

It also can be pronounced micro meaning a millionth (0.000 001). Micro second can be written µs or µsec.

Wait for 0.9.8b - they screwed up the versions
Same issues for me, too. Tried many times 12/10 and 12/11 with the same results with 0.9.8 downloaded within the 0.9.8a .dmg So developers: how do we provide your stated desire for feedbacks?

As to 3: Assuming the data you want to write on the DVD fits its capacity (4.7GB), then any number of utilities (including OSX's Disk Utility) will do the job. Even a drag, drop and dvd eject will work. Do not totally understand 1 and 2 as to what the issue is that you are asking about. Toast can handle the writing of mega GBs of data spanning multiple DVDs. Toast does not…
