    Honestly, I like audacity better lol.

    Many more features to it, and more popular so if there's a problem, I can get help easier.

    Hey, just wanted to give a heads up - they're giving out Proxy Voyager for free today (about 20 hours left) it basically searches proxies for you and checks if they're alive or not. saves you the time manually searching ;)

    If u wanted a free photoshop type program you could try GIMP basically the same thing just takes a bit of getting used to.

    well to use the program for proxies do this:
    1. open the program
    2. right click on the space for Proxy List
    3. select Download Proxy List and wait until it's done loading then press Close
    4. Click the first proxy server and go down the list, shift+click the last proxy this should highlight all the proxies on the list
    5. right click and select Test Server and wait until its done, then press close
    6. click the status tab so the Alive proxies will be grouped together, you can choose to remove the Dead ones but it's not necessary
    7. right click one of the proxies and select Copy Address
    8. Paste it in to your program/web browser and you're done. If you want to test it go to www.whatismyip.com to see if your IP has changed.

    hope that helps :)

    I used to check this site everyday a few months ago! However, I started to notice that the programs kept on repeating, and they had a week where it was all screensavers so I quickly became a non-regular to the site =[

    I'll probably visit it more regularly now though, I'd forgotten about it for a time.

    Bah! Thanks!

    I used to use this a few years ago but my comp crapped out a while back and I lost pretty much everything I had on there. I always wondered what the site was.

    They also have http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/

    Thanks for the site! I'm gonna love this =D
    I dl'd GoldWave even though I already have Audacity.. I wonder what's different...

    If you need a photoshop type software, download GIMP. It's essentially the same as Photoshop, but free. =D
