Best free stuff

[Major Fubar 0]

I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where people post links to the best free "stuff" relating to computers and OFP, as many of the newbies here seem to have some trouble with posting pics, taking screenshots etc.

Obviously no warez or pirated software, please!

Here are some examples:

Image hosting: http://www.imgstudio.com. Free and reliable image hosting. Only downside is a small logo in the bottom right corner.

Web hosting: http://www.brinkster.com. 30 megs, no ads.

Email: www.virtual-mail.com - spam free and reliable

Compression tool: PowerArchiver. Handles ZIP and also RAR files.

Screenshot utiltiy: Clipboard picture saver (can't find a link, but I remember one of the regs here has a link in his sig)

Pic Viewer: ACDSee

Anyway, you get the idea...any contributions, please feel free.

Maybe some modmakers could give links to best OFP tools: PBO tools, editors etc.

GrabClipsave is a very good screenshot program. It is free and

doesnt modify the pics a bit. Adjustable output settings and various other settings suported. I use it since i got OFP  

http://www.boumchalak.de/Tools/GCS/gcs.html

Teamspeak client and server for Team communication.

Good and reliant program to substitute VON and the bandwidth consumption is very good for 56K´lers and ISDN gamers. Free of course

check it out:

http://www.teamspeak.org

All other programs I use have to be paid, so I will keep them out of this thread.

2things:

First IrfanView is this totally free image program.  You can't edit the images but you can save/open like a gazillion different formats.

Second the MOHAA SP demo is pretty good(Its fun to feel like your made out of titanium, and can carry 10 different weapons, once in a while   )

Free pop-up stopper.

Doesn't stop banner ads, but the annoying pop up ones. It really just stops any other explorer windows from being opened, but if you hold the ctrl button there's no problems.

It's a small inconvenience, but more than makes up for it getting rid of the pop ups.

For those who love the old Steel Panthers game-series, a hefty +400 MB download from Steel Panthers:World at War

Steel Panthers:World at War is based on the old Steel Panthers engine but refined and further developed in hundreds of ways. And the best thing is that it´s completely free!

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Unforunetly I can get Steel Panthers. The only palce you can seem to get it from is Gamesdomain and none of their download links are working.

[amp 0]

The links seem to be FTPs so your probably better of using an FTP-client than trying to download via a web-browser. I did a quick test with FlashFXP and tried to connect to two different servers. One of the UK placed servers was busy but I was able to connect to the Swedish FTP. No passwords or usernames were required, just used anonymous login. My browser (IE 6.0) couldn´t connect to anything, GetRight or some other download manager might also work.
