Suggestions For Freeware Administrative Programs

[generalnmx]

FreeMeter: Decent reporting tool for CPU Load, Available Memory, HDD Load, and a lot more. Has the ability to scan all your HDD's folders and report their individual filesize - very nice for freeing up space. Takes up roughly 5MB of available memory or less depending on setup. Windows, Freeware.

NetLimiter: Excellent for BitTorrent or other P2P downloaders using Windows. Each Torrent only allows your upload to go down to 3KB/s, and most P2P clients have the download porportional to the upload speed. With NetLimiter, you can restrict the upload speed of ALL programs at once, allowing you to save some bandwidth for web-surfing, etc., and prevent packet loss from overflowing your upload queue. Windows, Demo (*coughgetkeyfromsaidp2pcough*).

Virus Scanners, Firewalls, and Anti-Spyware: See my topic on securing your Windows computer - http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=14709

Post your own for any operating system.

Diskeeper - Brilliant defragmenter, set it to defragment very late at night and it'll keep your computer running brilliantly.

This and the security thread are great, just had to format and I'm getting all the best software right away instead of installing tons of shit looking for decent stuff .

Hmmm TinyResMeter is cool, but it only takes up 2MB less memory then FreeMeter, and doesn't have half the advanced features of FreeMeter. But for just normal reporting I can't decide between the two

I just use it for CPU Usage and ram. I like because its compact and doesnt get in the way

FreeMeter can minimize any of its meters to the task bar, just to make sure the people here realize that too (I'm sure you already do).

Also, TightVNC is an excellent monitoring tool.

Whoops! Just noticed you said freeware

At some point I used to have a tool that drew your entire drive as a box, and each directory was a box within that. The bigger the directory the bigger the box, so you could easily see exactly what was taking up HD space. I don't have it anymore

I'm confused. Are you... asking people to illegally crack this software?

PuTTY ... best free SSH client for windows systems. 'Cos sometimes management insist you must use Windows on the desktop... even though your servers are unix....

Cygwin is pretty handy too.
