Cyberduck has long been a favorite app of Mac owners, and with good reason. The free, open source app is a powerful way to transfer files between your desktop and the cloud, supporting FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Docs, Windows Azure, and more. Now, Cyberduck has finally arrived on Windows. The release of version 4.0 beta packs the same great features as the Mac version, including SCP, ...

To the average downloading public, the recent news about LimeWire being forced to shut down sounds pretty ominous. At my day job, I've already been asked "How do I download songs now?" While LimeWire shutting down is bad news for its users, there's a silver lining to this cloud. The Gnutella network did not get shut down -- the actual songs you were downloading came from the Gnutella network, ...

Miro is an excellent do-it-all video program. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and it can do just about everything video-related you could ask one program to do. Miro will download torrents, organize your movies, play them back (with subtitles), and as of the just-released version 3.5 it will even convert your videos for a variety of devices. Conversions are fast and painless, and everything ...

TorrentFreak is reporting that Mulve, just one week after we first wrote about it, has been shut down by the RIAA. It seems that, while the RIAA was unable to touch the majority of the service, Mulve had a portion of its site hosted with USA-based Hostgator. All it took was one DMCA cease-and-desist letter, and Mulve is now offline. As to why Mulve (which is a concatenation of 'Music Love,' ...

There isn't much else to say: Mulve is just a single 2MB, portable EXE that lets you download music. There's no UI to speak of, and it's completely unconfigurable. You just type in a band name or song title and... download. The thing is, despite being free and tiny, the selection of music is insane. Lee found a bunch of crazy bands like The Wonderstuff, Mind Bomb, and Johnny Socko -- and for ...

There was plenty of buzz about Internet Explorer 9 prior to this week's beta launch, and that buzz has paid off. Microsoft's Windows Team Blog has announced that the IE9 beta was downloaded more than two million times in its first two days of availability. Sure, that's 6 million less than the total Mozilla received on Spread Firefox Day, but it's a huge number for a beta browser -- especially ...

Been waiting to get your hands on the Internet Explorer 9 beta? The bits are up, so go get 'em. Both 32 and 64-bit installers are available, and more than 20 localized versions area provided. There are also additional standalone language packs for Catalan, Hindi, Hebrew, and Vietnamese. Sebastian is currently live blogging the launch, so follow the news on his post as it breaks! So what ...

As it turns out, that earlier post from Fast Company broke Microsoft's embargo. Now, however, the ban has been lifted, and the images and reviews will be coming rapid-fire. We'll do our best to keep you up to speed until Sebastian is online in California. One incredibly nice new feature Ed Bott illustrates in his review is an improved download manager. If you follow Download Squad, you've no ...

Ever found an awesome download on the Web and thought, "Man, why don't they offer a torrent download?!" It's so much nicer pulling down Ubuntu ISOs at 690K per second via µTorrent instead of 250K or so via HTTP. A newly-launched service called Burnbit is set to give Web downloads a much-needed punch in the face. Head over to their website, drop the URL to an HTTP download in the blank, ...

BitTorrent Inc's Mainline client (i.e. the one you can download from their homepage) now has the ability to use apps that, until now, were only usable with uTorrent. These apps allow you to augment your BitTorrent client much in the same way that Firefox add-ons or Chrome extensions alter your browser. Built using JavaScript, HTML and CSS -- the same 'Open Web' technologies that Mozilla has ...

SteadyState is one of my favorite free utilities from Microsoft, and it was one of the first apps I ever wrote about here at Download Squad. Now, however, it appears as though the sun is setting on SteadyState: Microsoft has announced that support will be ending on June 30th, 2011. That, of course, simply means that actual support for SteadyState will come to an end -- don't expect to get ...

Just a quick note to say that the wait is over: iTunes 10 is now available to download. If the iTunes page shows the old logo, hit Ctrl+F5 to refresh the page. For more details, check Jay's post -- or indeed, just peruse the Apple site! There seems to be a lot of fallout over the 99-cent TV episodes, and the complete lack of Facebook integration in iTunes Ping -- we'll try to cover it in ...

Got a favorite webcaster on YouTube? A favorite music video, perhaps? Wish you could save the audio as an MP3? You can, of course -- there are plenty of websites and downloader apps which let you do it. Dirpy Studio is a more recent addition you may not have heard of, and it's certainly worth knowing about. Search for a video on dirpy.com, and the results are displayed in a list. Pick your ...

A while back, Google coders introduced drag-and-drop uploading in GMail (provided you were using a supported browser like Chrome), and there was much rejoicing. Today, they've introduced its counterpart: drag-and-drop downloading of attachments. It might not sound like a big deal, but it's actually quite nice to be able to grab a file and pull it down directly to a specific folder on your ...

Curious about how your current Internet provider compares to other local options? Take a look at Ookla's Net Index, which has compiled user test results from around the world into easy-to-understand rankings. Data is gathered from both speedtest.net and pingtest.net, and covers the entire globe. In total, Net Index has sifted through more than 1.5 billion tests, and there have probably ...
