Rose City Software Update Info New releases and updates this year: (As shown on the Rose City 'what's new' page) DU Meter - 8/31 - v5.02 - Major upgrade to the ever popular Internet and Network monitoring tool with many new enhancements. LinkStash - 5/1 - v2.1 - Latest update to the award winning bookmark manager and automated logon utility - free for registered users of v2.0 Driver Genius - 12/08 - v9.0.0.186 - Latest update to the award winning automatic driver update utility New freeware listings - new freeware listings added regularly. Special Offer - DU Meter 5.02 Network and Internet Connection Monitor If you have v5.01, just download this free upgrade and install right over the previous installation. If you are currently a registered DU Meter 3.x or 4.x user you can visit the upgrade page and see how you qualify for an upgrade. A great update to an already great utility. Try a free download now to see how useful DU Meter is. DU Meter is a powerful and user-friendly tool that will enable you to use and guard your Internet connection more efficiently. It lets you see how much of your full bandwidth potential is actually utilized at any given point in time, either by displaying a real-time graph, numerical display, or both. Features include the new capability to distinguish between LAN and Internet traffic with no degradation of PC performance. It also includes new reporting and alert capabilities, a new taskbar band in the system tray, mini-mode as well as an auto-hide feature, and a handy stopwatch which accurately times your downloads and reports the average transfer rates, plus full compatibility with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7. The perfect companion utility to optimize your Internet connection. DU Meter also reports all network traffic in or out of your machine so it can provide an extra measure of security against worms or viruses performing unauthorized activity with your internet connection. Don't confuse "unlimited access" with "unlimited bandwidth allowance". They are two entirely different things. Unlimited access simply means you can stay online 24/7 around the clock for a basic monthly charge. Bandwidth allotment is entirely different and even if you think you have unlimited bandwidth, that may no longer be true or may be changing soon! For example, Comcast, the nation's largest cable internet provider has already implemented an acceptable use policy imposing a 250G per month download cap on all accounts. Many other ISP's have followed suit, some with much less generous allowances than Comcast. Time Warner Cable Internet is currently experimenting with the imposition of monthly allowances for the amount of data their customers upload and download.... and fees per gigabyte if they go over. It's coming folks. Just like airlines are now charging for your bags, Internet providers will likely soon ALL be charging for bandwidth usage, so it's a good to start paying attention to what you use before it starts costing you. Released several years ago, DU Meter has been updated a number of times and we have just released v5.12. If you still have v 3.x, or 4.x visit the DU Meter website to qualify yourself for the upgrade. Special Offer for Rose City Customers only: New users now get DU Meter for a limited time for only $22.46 That's a full 25% off the regular price of $29.95 ! To take advantage of this special offer you can click on this special purchase link. NOTE:  You can also get the same 25% discount on your purchase of a special family pack license good for installation on 5 computers in your household. These special discount links are not published anywhere else except this newsletter!
