<description><![CDATA[Don't bother me with the facts... 

I love all you lemmings who "Love Aschraff's reviews"   "find them an invaluable source of info" and blah blah blah... EVEN THOUGH there is absolutely nothing factual about them, no real testing has been done,  and he really doesn't know jack squat about computer science.  He's a kid in college trying to get traffic to his website. He loads up this software and plays around with it for a couple minutes. That's not testing folks.  There is really nothing useful about a "review" that doesn't review anything.  But whatever.... just keep bashing those of us who are exposing this Charlatan for what he is.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So, I'm feeling a bit sheepish now, given my above diatribe on keeping your complaints to yourself, but I had actually logged on to vent my own frustrations.  So much for heeding my own advice :-)

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else had problems installing now-yesterday's GOTD offer (SysResources Manager) in the 40 minutes or so before the expiry deadline.  

I successfully installed it on my other computer, (same OS, software, specs), about an hour ealier with no problem at all.  But when I started trying to install it on my second PC from about 11:20 PM onward, the GOTD installer / wrapper kept blocking the installation right after it connected to the internet every time.

I used the same download, direct from the the GOTD site, that I had no problems with an hour earlier, but despite how many times or what I tried, I kept getting the exact same dialogue box titled "Giveaway of the Day" at the exact same point each and every attempt.

Does anyone know what the problem might have been?  I'm wondering if the server was overwhelmed with procrastinating, last minute GOTD-ers like me, as I didn't start trying until 40 minutes before the deadline.  Does that ever happen, or was this offer that popular? In any case, it's the first time I've had this particular type of frustration with a GOTD offering.

After clicking Setup.exe it would start to work, but after it connected to the internet, the software key wrapper in Setup.exe kept giving me the following error message and would not allow the install to proceed:

"Activation module failed to connect to giveawayoftheday.com. Software activation is not possible at the moment.  Please try again later or check your firewall Settings."

Well I tried again 6 or 7 times before the midnight expiry deadline.  I tried disabling my firewall, Anti-virus, etc. (Zone Alarm, Avast, AdAware...and oh yeah, I'm on WinXPsp3).  I tried exiting every possible background program and process prior to other attempts.  I also tried leaving the firewall on and whitelisting the installer, etc..  And I even restarted my computer between almost all of these attempts. I tested my internet connection, and on and on... 

In the little bit I've played around with it on my other computer, it looks like a great piece of software for me.  I know I would actually use it a lot - I love all of that detailed information!  As such, I am rather disappointed that the site, or installer, (or possibly something on my end), wouldn't allow me to install it, even though I was still within the parameters of the offer. I guess you just can't win them all. 

Anyhow, I'm just wondering if any others out their experienced the same let down tonight, or if it was just me / something on my end of things?

And despite feeling a bit ripped-off (and perhaps cursing at my monitor as midnight approached and the progam still wouldn't install), I remain a greatful daily worshiper at GOTD.  I truly appreciate the generousity and cooperative spirit of companies that see the benefit of making their programs available here; and of the GOTD staff and all of those that take the time to post their comments and reply to others' questions on one of my favourite sites.   And I do apologize to all of you who actually stuck with me while I used this post to vent my own frustrations.   Thanks, ~ Miguel]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Personally I think Ashraf (and many other regular commenters) provide a great service in taking the time to share their assessment of the programs offered on GOTD, as well as in suggesting alternatives.  

I don't necessarily arrive at the same opinion as them when I later become more familiar with the programs, but I really appreciate the time and effort and spirit of community they display in taking so much time to share their experience, understanding and opinion with others that are unsure of whether to download a given title.  

If someone finds they tend to disagree with any of the more regular commenters, then they should just accept that to each their own, and save everyone's time and frustration by skipping over comments from those whom they routinely differ with.  You can then contribute your own reviews and ideas without trashing those of others whom many of us are thankful for.  Even when I disagree, I appreciate well intentioned posts.  Not so much those that seem to make a point of simply being argumentative.  At least that is the way I see it, admittedly in my own self-indulgent argumentative way :-)

<description><![CDATA[Hey Aschraff - your explanations are getting better.  You say "Kind of Iffy" and then in parens (does not really free up much, if any, RAM). 

Then why not just say  Bad: Does not really free up much, if any, RAM  .  Forget the hyperbole (" Kind of Iffy") and just clearly say what you want to say. (of course, be prepared to back that up with facts and research)

If you need to explain yourself, cut some words and just use the explanation. Some great editors taught me that. 

Just tryin' to help you write better, dude. 
Rock on]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Today's Giveaway's task manager is much better than Windows own Task manager in either XP or Vista.  Sys Resources Mgr task manager shows processes windows taskmanager didnt show and gives information about processes that is really useful for determining what the purpose of a process is.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I strongly disagree with #14 too.  If you don't like Ashraf's reviews, simply skip over his comment instead of reading it.  I for one, find his reviews very useful. and his website is a fantastic resource for reviews, freeware alternatives, and also a wonderful resource for things not related to GAOTD.

I personally have found Ashraf's reviews to be accurate and I often rely on them when I'm unsure of an app. I miss his reviews when he doesn't post them.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's about time that art, mario and dave held their tongue.

It takes time and great effort to find software publishers that will allow GAOTD to issue their normally PAID for products for free. 

I can only hope the moderator will block meaningless negative comments that might well make it MORE difficult than it is already to find software publishers who do NOT want their products slated without good cause.

I repeat what I said earlier, I think the program sysresources manager sufficiently good and excellent to pay for it myself! I think I can say meaningfully that it was worth every penny/ cent and is very much one of the best programs of its type out there. I use it DAILY to very good effect. 

I simply can't believe the ingratitude of some people out there!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@14, I have a few programs that hog RAM when they do not need to and make the O/S thrash the HDD. So I have tried a few "RAM defrag" programs and not all are :-
1) consastant in their abilities and 
2) are able to deal with all troublesome programs.
Before any comment about "buy more RAM", there are many reasons for not buying more RAM, e.g. loan computers, and more reasons.
Also this "thrashing the HDD" ; which is easily missed on Desktop PCs, because they have good sound reduction and also the HDD light is genrally out of sight whilst the PC is in use, could be one of the reasosn why a suprising number of HDD do not last as long as they should.]]></description>
