Avant Browser is continuously improving its long list of characteristics. This browser includes many more options than the ones in Internet Explorer. Merely as an example, there are useful features, such as the possibility of automatically loading pre-set websites, or the integration of a download manager. Additionally, Avant Browser saves user profiles online, covering bookmarks and form automatic fill-in. No matter then where or which computer you are browsing with. Every data and user information will be at hand. And every change,  either in your bookmarks or in your profile will be saved for further use.

With this application, internet browsing is made even more efficient. Tabs and direct Access to website control options are only a sample of those productivity features. Users can set up the refresh frequency of each tab. An RSS feeds and a powerful bookmarks manager are also integrated in this excellent browser.
Not only is Avant Browser such a useful and powerful browser, it is also specially designed for granting user’s privacy. With only one click, all the browsing session information can be deleted, pop ups can be locked, bookmarks can be activated or deactivated, or even, a website or part of it can be converted into a picture file. Even the forms auto fill-in feature is able to preserve the privacy: all the personal information is encoded.

To conclude, Avant Browser is a browser ahead of its time and ahead of the Internet itself. For the time being, and waiting for the overall adoption of IE 7 and Opera or Firefox, it is probably the most advanced available browser.

It can be downloaded from: Avant Browser.

Regardless of their origin, P2P software is, with no doubt, one of the fastest and most useful tool for sharing documents and files. Thanks to those networks, Linux compilations and other open source content can be easily distributed among all the community.

The original eMule client is quite good, but there are always means for improving applications. Mods are just that: improved versions of existing applications. eMule Xtreme is a mod of eMule. Bandwidth control, uploading and downloading configuration and antileech are a few examples of the improvements of this mod (eMule Xtreme). With antileech feature, it will be impossible for leechers to steal credits or to change download and upload rates. Additionally, this mod allows overruling ISPs’ rules against P2P traffic. Not every server is compatible with this feature, but we highly recommend its activation for getting all the advantages of P2P networks.

In addition to all the above features and options, eMule Xtreme 6.1 includes many more tools, such as detailed statistics, a search engine and UPnP compatibility.

A useful hint: configure search on global mode, instead of on server mode. This way, number of results will be significantly increased and obtained faster. On the other hand, if there is any doubt on how and where to get additional lists of servers, there are many sites, such as http://www.gruk.org/list.php, with this kind of information. With only one click, lists will be automatically uploaded in eMule.

Definitely, one of the best mods of eMule. Emule Extreme.
