List your favorite Freeware or Shareware tools, apps, software. Describe what it does and why you like it or if you can`t live without it and perhaps we can discover some cool free software of which we never knew about for us all to enjoy! (no links to websites though, as mods may remove)

Sandboxie-Plus
I use this on my web browser (works with any web browser): Sandboxie is an open-source OS-level virtualization solution for Microsoft Windows.[it is a sandboxing solution that creates an isolated operating environment in which applications can run without permanently modifying the local system This virtual environment allows for controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing.
#I should point out it can run some programs isolated but some prograsms it cannot run. It is good for surfing internet with a layer of protection.

DNS Jumper
Found out about this one from the forums at this site.  It is really handy when your PC crashes whilst you were connected to VPN, as when u restart after a crash, your DNS did not get switched back and stuck on the VPN`s DNS, and as such when plug in the LAN cable there does not seem to be internet. By Using DNS Jumper it saves me the hassle of manually having to reset the network adaptor, i click and select my old or new DNS and then i get internet restored.

SplitCam
This tool is really good if you mess around with virtual cameras. i.e to stream video into local apps or online, works nicely with OBS studio too.

Teracopy
This replaces windows file copy: It can handle multiple drops of files into various folders at the same time and queue`s them without lagging out your whole PC.

Notepad++ : Kinda like windows notepad...but with lots and lots of features.

Paint.Net (Free) : Kinda like windows paint...but with lots and lots of features.

GIMP : Another image manipulation too...more features but a touch more complex.

DaVinci Resolve (Free) : A very high quality video editing tool.

Visual Studio (Free) : High quality coding environment...caters to many languages.

Tree Size (Free) : Helps figure out where all of your HD space is used.

Irfan View : An image viewer/slideshow creator...decent enough but a little creaky.

4K Video Downloader : Quickly and easily download a YouTube vid.

ScreentoGif
This tool is really useful for sharing clips in forums; If you wanted to screen capture a small clip from your video player or from the web and turn it into an animated gif. It features neural network high fidelity quantization encoder for high quality gifs tho if you want small file sizes it is always going to be a challenge with gifs, however there are a numer of options to play with such as reducing the colour palette and resize options, removing frames, stretching scene lengths plus many more and its FREE.
You can get it from screentogif(dot)com by nicke manarin. It is only for windows 10,11 (sorry win7 or xp users)
Hopefully we will get to see more funny cat, dog clips or if you wanted to contribute to "The Weird Awards of film and tv section" found here https://torrentgalaxy.to/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=2667Now you can share strange wacky clips that you came across whilst watching a series or film and share it on the torrentgalaxy forums.

Gif Optimizer FREE
shrink those gifs with a one click solution found at leapic(dot)com.  There might be better one someone has found, tho i like this one as it is easy. I will note tho that Screento gif mentioned above does better job than this at reducing the file size and resizing but requires alot of experimentation, at least with this one it is easy, but does not resize the image dimensions it only optimizes the colours.

AdGuard. That's just crucial these days. It's not entirely free but the free versions are good enough. Or you can download cracked versions, of course.

For me personally, it's probably the only piece of software aside from videogames i ever purchased. It saves me from so much trouble of having to block all kinds of nonsense for various devices belonging to different users at home. Definitely recommended. 👍

On a similar note - uBlock Origin...

...it's an AdGuard kinda thing...except I've found it to be particularly good for YouTube when they go through a "crack down on ad blockers" phase...

😂 this made me laugh! But are they really free tho bandit? 🤔 coming from a bookmakers, one would assume your in there making bets... Unless you win it's kind of like you paid for the pen and paper 🤷🏼‍♂️...which could result in a pricey pen and piece of paper!! I've certainly overpaid a few times 😂😂😂

yeah true but walking into a bookies and NOT sticking a few quid on the football or a pony is a sin 😂 that's one problem with technology, now it's all at your fingertips instead. 🫣 God dam gambling websites and TV ads showing those nice looking 12/1's 🤔🙄 but we love them when we win 😁🙌🏼🙌🏼😂
