Stanford on iTunes [iTunes]

http://itunes.stanford.edu/index.html

For those who can’t make it to the balmy climes of Palo Alto, this latest initiative from Stanford will be most welcome. With this program, visitors can download audio recordings of lectures, poetry readings, and even Stanford football games directly to their computer. Of course, this is no substitute to attending this fine institution, but the wide range of audio content available at no charge is very impressive. This version of Stanford on iTunes is compatible with all computers running Windows XP or 2000 or Mac OS X 10.3. [KMG]

The latest version of Download Accelerator Manager will be of great interest to those seeking to resume and manage their Internet downloads as quickly as possible. The application supports cookies, proxy protocols, and firewalls. It also integrates seamlessly with a number of commonly-used browsers, including Firefox and Opera. The program also features a rather nice user interface, something that is definitely worth noting. This version is compatible with all computers running Windows 98 or newer. [KMG]
