Another YSI tip

Not sure if this is the correct place but here goes.

I realised tonight that I can copy a YSI link from my private messages straight into YSIGet without even opening the YSI page. Maybe you knew that already

I'm not sure if it could extend the life of a file since the download page doesn't register 25 hits but it might be worth a try. Either way it's one less page to click through, saving you, oh, about 5 seconds

 

It's worth a shot.

 

buz, thanks for sharing, just dl ysiget and it worked fine, not sure if it save the link count probabley not but por 5 seconds fatser is good

 

Have you checked their software to make sure there is no adware or spyware in it? I thought about trying it but wasn't sure how safe it was.

 

It looks like a good idea, but it sounds too good to be true. Did a quick Google search and found this http://forums.spywareinfo.com/lofiversion/index.php/t44772.html which refers to YSIGet several times.

 

Checked that thread, the author (nasdaq) admits jumping the gun on YSIGet.

Another reference http://www.remove-spyware.co.uk/process-info.aspx?p=YSIGet.exe states no comment.

Now I won't say that it is 100% safe, but my regular adaware/spyware scans haven't detected anything unusual since installing it. I guess it's up to you whether you want to use it or not.

 

Well i'll test it out, my computer is pretty safe from spyware and virus and I have constant scans for both.

 

Thanks for the information guys.

 

If you guys are worried about all the bugs use programs like, Ad-Ware, Spybot, Crap Cleaner and run each one i safe mode if you think your infected.

 

what is ysiget and what does it do? what is the benefit of using it?

 

If you download movies from yousendit.com it lets you resume your downloads when you get disconnected.

 

thanks for the info everybody
