My review :-

FDM is a great download accelerator and i use it for about a year and works perfectly . it’s free and reliable application and have all possible feature found in it’s main competitor Internet Download Manager (trial for 30 days only ) but fee download manager have more feature with a free license .

what is the difference bet ween lite and complete versions ?

FDM Lite version requires less size and lacks some functions(BitTorrent support, video conversion and upload manager) that can be downloaded and installed as plugins later. but FDM full version (6,4 Mb) have all features built in .for myself i use lite one ( 2,1 Mb).

Why I need to defrag my hard disks?

Hard disks are the slowest component in your computer. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance. Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the disk drive heads move too much when reading files which leads to freeze-ups and system crashes.

Smart defrag works smoothly

What is Defragmentation ?

Defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of fragmentation in file systems by physically organizing the contents of the disk to store the pieces of each file close together and contiguously. It also attempts to create larger regions of free space using compaction to impede the return of fragmentation.

Smart Defrage Features : -

1 – Extremely Easy to Use : Install it and forget it.

2 – Smart Defrag has the world’s fastest defragmenting engine. It’s been specially designed for modern, large hard drives, so it eliminates long waiting times.

3 – Smart Defrag Optimizes Disk Performance

4 – Smart Defrag works automatically and quietly in the background, so it continually and constantly keeps your computer fragment-free.

5 – Smart Defrag uses the commercial-level standard to move data and does not damage any file in your disk.

6 – Smart Defrag is 100% freeware. Download, use, and update it absolutely free.

7 – Designed for Windows® Vista™, XP, 2000. and Windows® 7.

Features : -

1- VLC is popular for its ability to play the video content of incomplete, unfinished, or damaged video downloads before the files have been fully downloaded. (For example, files still downloading via BitTorrent, eMule, or Gnutella).

2- The player also has the ability to use libcdio to access .iso files so that the user can play files on a disk image, even if the user’s operating system does not have the capability of working directly with ISO images.

3- VLC is one of the freeware and open source DVD players that ignores DVD region coding, making it a region free player, even on locked RPC-2 firmware.

VLC media player

4- VLC supports all codecs and all file formats supported by FFmpeg. This means that DVD Video and MPEG-4 playback as well as support for Ogg and Matroska (MKV) file formats work “out of the box”. However, this feature is not unique to VLC, as any player using the FFmpeg libraries, including MPlayer and xine-lib-based players, can play those formats without need for external codecs.

5- VLC also supports codecs that are not included in FFmpeg.VLC media player can play high definition recordings of D-VHS tapes duplicated to a computer using CapDVHS.exe. This offers another way to archive all D-VHS tapes with the DRM copy freely tag. An entire library of tapes (or about 50 D-VHS 2 hours long) can be placed on a single terabyte sized hard drive. However, they must be imported by playing the tapes in real time, and can’t simply be copied as data files.

why you need to update your drivers?

Microsoft is providing generic drivers for the most important components that ensure that the computer system is working properly. Generic drivers on the other hand have the problem that they do not provide access to specialized features. They are also not optimized.
So,many users install drivers that are supplied by the manufacturer of the device to take advantage of advanced features. And this is where the problems begin. These drivers are not automatically updated when new versions are released. There is usually no way of knowing that a new driver has been released unless you visits the developer’s website to check for new drivers this can be done via great softwares like Device Doctor and  Radarsync for free.
