I tried Cyberduck but it was slow on on PC. Back to WinSCP as FTP Client.
LibreOffice is a good alternative to Microsoft Office.

XDM was buggy in the past, request you to try the latest version, it's much better. Also there is no comparison for the video download feature between XDM & FDM as XDM allows support for more websites and is only matched by maybe Eagleget or IDM.

I am using the latest XDM 2020 version and i think it is perfect competitor for IDM.

*Device File Transfer- Replaced Feem with Zapya (Apr 26 2020)

Zapya works much better and faster. On Android make sure to use Zapya Minishare or Zapya Lite for ad-free installs.

I would make 2 lists; strictly open-source software and another mixed freeware/proprietary.

Have you created strictly opensource softwares list?

 

[jackuars]

Have you created strictly opensource softwares list?

Yeah, I forgot about that, but will do so in the near future. Quite a number of open source softwares to test.

actually i think nobody use tixati because we never heard this before in 2020 from now on qbittorrent i know its my fave torrent client im not force you to anyway

 

[eonline]

I think the main list would be missing a program to encrypt discs and data.

It is feature-some and better than Mailbird. The only limitation of free version of eMClient is 2 accounts/person. I'm trying to find a suitable alternative with this limitation, but nothing has come close to it.

I first came across this software when it was featured as top pick at Best Free BitTorrent Client. Have tried both qBittorrent & Tixati, and the advanced scheduler of Tixati is the major reason why I stick with it, as I need to set each torrent file to run at specified times during the day depending on the sizes. I couldn't find this feature in qBittorrent. Also speed-wise I found Tixati to take the edge.

I'm considering running Kaspersky Security Cloud Free with Comodo Firewall. Will I face any issues with that config?
