I checked out the website and for free you could d/l up to 4 gb per month which equaled about 3-5 movies a month and that the files had to be newer then 100 days. A paid subscription will get you more GB and access to older files. Sort of like a bitorrent interface. I was able to d/l a good quality copy of the new StarGate DVD. </p> <p>Now here was the big but part. When you download the interface to d/l the files it also came with its own video player by VideoLand. The player is ok, but it hijacked all my media files (avi,wmv, mpg, vob and even mp3, wav and QuickTime files. </p> <p>I'm one that prefers to use different players for different media files. </p> <p>What I had to do having XP was to open any folder and go to "tools" in the top menu and choose "folder options" then tab "file types" It will list every type file on your computer. You could change the "open with" option for you files here if you want to change whatever program you want or need to open the files with. </p> <p>I had tried to uninstall the VL player but the d/l interface will not work with out it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3296#post-35904 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:49:16 +0000 GrouchE 35904@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>It's D-U-M-B, ya BIG dummy! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3296#post-35746 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:35:59 +0000 Nightwalker 35746@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>You might think its a great program, but I don't!! </p> <p>I had to uninstall the durn thing manually (Cool Record Edit Pro)and it left tons of entries in my registry.

Found problems I didn't even know existed; I used it every other day; and it said no problems or found one since May 3. Yesterday, I was working on something and my Computer Associastion antivirus software all of a sudden popped up indicating 8 problems (all the same) which I typed previously here; I then went to its web site (CA) and the problem was not heard of at all or listed at CA. I then went into the software (CA) and the report again said the chain where it was located. I tried double clicking on the icon for Premium Booster and got the usual little box with the flash light saying it is searching for the program. Today upon turning on my computer, the icon symbol is now the usual blank symbol because the program's main link is gone as it is in quarantine. I feel like it has to be part of the program in Premium Booster and I didn't feel like that until after reading all the comments about previous troubles with other programs and that is why I thought it has to be the program itself. If it is, that is rotten. I e-mailed tech help at the web site for premium booster; but of course..........nothing.<br /> I have other programs from this web site that I am using and nothing like this has happened to me before. Glary utilitles is the pro version and everytime I click on the update, I am expecting it to turn into the free version but it doesn't.....it remains the pro. I wish I could be more specific for you. This is my opinion only.<br /> So now I guess I will hopefully attempt to uninstall this...wonder if it will work when all of the components aren't there. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3333#post-30102 Wed, 21 May 2008 01:21:15 +0000 Archangel 30102@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Please clarify what you think happened zephyrdell. Do you think that the program (Premium Booster) changed itself after a time to cause it to be quarantined? Thats not good so let us know.</p> <p>I like greylox did not download and install it otherwise we'd know. Please keep the forum informed. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3333#post-30098 Tue, 20 May 2008 23:52:09 +0000 zephyrdell 30098@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Computer associates doesn't have any information on this problem that it found. So I am beginning to think it just might be something written into the original software wherein it is recognized by the antivirus program to do exactly what it did causing the program not to work. Now you have to purchase it if you liked it so far.<br /> That is my thought and I certainly appreciate you taking the time to attempt to help.<br /> I did go to those links and this is what is making me believe what I typed above.<br /> Thanks again. I will now simply uninstall Premium Booster. Knew it was too good to be true. I alos sent an e-mail to support, but of course they are not responding. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3333#post-30022 Tue, 20 May 2008 13:46:42 +0000 graylox 30022@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi,zephyrdell such things occur quite often.
