New Application: Elifteg Download Manager

Jul 14, 2008 @ 10:05 pm by jhazlett

I have added my personal download manager to the site. I have named it Elifteg, which is GetFile backwards since basically, all it does is get files. It was originally written for myself to download a large amount of high resolution images from NASA’s website. I figured it might be useful to someone else on the ‘net, so I am passing it on to everyone. It is a very simple application that lets you drag and drop links from your web browser (both IE and Firefox work) and queue the files for download, or download them immediately. It has the ability to either download a single file at a time (to minimize the time to get each file) or download them simultaneously, or asynchronously.

It currently does not have the ability to pause and resume downloads, although that is a planned feature. It also cannot accept any type of protocol except HTTP. I am working on an FTP addition to it, so that files can be downloaded from either of them. So if this sounds like something that might be vaguely useful to you, check it out and let me know how it works for you. If you find any bugs or crashes, please let me know!

You can find some more information via the application page, or download the application directly from this post via this link.

New Application: Zune Playlist Converter

Jul 06, 2008 @ 02:15 am by jhazlett

I have a Zune. I don’t like the Zune software. I use Winamp to play all my music on my system. I created some playlists for my Zune that I wanted to also listen to in Winamp. I didn’t want to convert the playlist through Windows media player or perform any of the other cheesey hacks that are commonly used to convert the files. So I bring you… Zune Playlist Converter. Another original application by HazteK Software. For more information and a download, you can visit the information page, or you can download the application directly via this link: ZPL2M3U.zip. Zune Playlist Converter can convert a ZPL file into either a M3U file or PLS file, both of which are compatible with Winamp, along with many other players.

And here is a screenshot:

Note: This application has been updated since this original post. It originally could only create m3u playlists, but can now create pls files as well. The new version is 1.0.0.2.
