Check out the Free antivirus downloads and the latest Downloads to help you get rid of spyware from your pc

Other categories include : Free desktop and screensaver downloads Free DVD Cloaners and audio rippers, Free Mobile ringtons, Palm and pocket PC downloads

CDex 1.5 - Convert tracks from an audio CD to WAV and MP3 files.
Posted by Ed on Tue, September 2nd, 2003. 01:38 pm
While most commercial audio software leans toward all-in-one suites, freeware CDex focuses instead on performing one main task as efficiently as possible.

Extracting digital music files from CDs becomes simple, quick, and painless.

CDex also offers enough advanced options for converting between formats to satisfy the serious digital music fan.
The main interface is very clean, with a CD track listing, album information, and buttons that perform major functions such as ripping, converting, CDDB lookup, and configuration. CDex includes 12 different compressed file encoders, including MP3, AAC, WMA, APE, and OGG, and also supports any external encoders.

Our regular visitors will have noticed that they were unable to access Download2me recently.

Basically, I did some work on the database which stores all our downloads, site templates etc but something went wrong and I wasn't able to undo what I did.

Fortunately we regularly back up or database so were able to manually restore an older version.

Sorry it took so long but the doors to download2me are fully open again :D

Annoying Popups

Hi All

Sorry if you found the popups annoying.

We had a problem with the code which was causing the popups to 'popup' on every single page.

We have changed the code now so you will get one pop up and one pop under when you enter the site. Anything else will be pop up free.

We hope you don't mind these popups too much but they do help us pay for the hosting of download2me which in turn enables us to provide you with the stuff your searching for :D

Increased Security
Posted by Chief on Wed, July 2nd, 2003. 03:41 pm
Dear All

After the unfortunate posts that were spammed across the site earlier this week, we have had to take measures to stop this from happening again.

Firstly (and this part is unfortunate) we have had to restrict the posting of new messages on the forums that link to out portal pages (the main download pages) to admins and mods only. This should stop people from being presented with vulgar posts when they first access the site.

From a community point of view. Everyone can still post new messages in the forums which form The lounge , however members can now only reply to posts made in our main download sections from now on.

Secondly. New members now need to have their e-mail address verified before they can post. New members will have a random password e-mailed to them which they need to use before they can login for the first time.

Hopefully this should put off 90% of the spammers out there who just want to pop in to our forums cause a little bit of trouble by posting childish and vulgar comments.

Anyhow. Thats it for the time being. Feel free to post any comments in the Site feedback forum if you wish.

All the best

Chief :D

Nasty Posts
Posted by Chief on Mon, June 30th, 2003. 10:59 pm
Hi All

I want to apologise for the posts some of you may have read later today posted by some one going under the name of nice boy nice.

Lets just say the 23 posts were vulgar, nasty and damn right rude.

Nice boy nice has been banned from the site and we have taken measures to stop him accessing the site full stop.

I don't know what this kids problem was but the net result was a lot ofnasty posts that I would no way want to associate with download2me.

I think we are going to have to tighten our belts up a little from a security point of view to restrict new members from posting muck like this across the site.

I'll be making a couple of changes which I will share with you over the next couple of days.

All the best

Adverts and Popups
Posted by Chief on Wed, June 18th, 2003. 10:13 am
Hi Everyone.

Just to let you all know that we have signed up with another company called focusin who will be helping us pay the running costs of the site by presenting the banners you see above and pop ups.

We have tried to make the pop ups as non intrusive as possible. They will pop up in the backgrounda and so far (under tests by myself, ed and boxin over the last day) we have noticed that we only got three pop unders in any one day.

If you go away and visit the site in the same day then you shouldn't get any more.

Hopefully this shouldn't frustrate you all too much, simply close them or if you've not already got it then install "stop the pop", a free popup killer by Clicking Here

If you found what you were looking for on download2me and want to help us out then click on the banners (it only takes a second). It really helps pay for the running of the site and gives me one less thing to worry about.

If you are interested in advertising on download2me then Click Here for details of what we have to offer.

Finally, if the pop ups really get on your nerves then reply to this thread or post a comment in the Site Feedback forum.

Thanks for reading.

Now that surprises me as I thought Christina would have the edge but lets see who will be the most popular.

Lets see who gets the most page views by Friday. I'll post the results on here.

Just like to welcome all you good folks and thanks for visiting and registering with the site.

Also, massive thanks go to Ed, Boxin, Mark and Jinx for so far adding over 300 quality downloads to the site and 100's of additional, pics, jokes and other stuff that I hope you all find useful.

Many thanks also goes to those of you who have also contributed to the site.

We will soon be intergrating our sister site download2me.com with download2me.net and I'm really happy now that we have the foundations for a great site.

Upcoming changes
Posted by Chief on Tue, June 10th, 2003. 02:57 pm
Hi All

Just to let you know. There will be a couple of minor changes happening over the next week or so.

Because some of the sections are getting a bit on the chocker side we have decided to categorise the sections a little more. This will help you all find what your looking for then.

EG.

Instead of having a Palm Downloads section. We will have the main Palm Downloads section and in here we will have Palm Games, Palm Applications, Palm Themes and so on.

Hopefully, this will make it a little easier to find your way around.

To begin with we will just update the forums, but the portals will quickly follow suit.

Regards

Chief :D

Why we post multiple downloads for the same publisher
Posted by Ed on Tue, June 10th, 2003. 01:32 pm
Some of you may have noticed that we sometimes post alot of stuff from a single site.

Why do I do this. Well its more to do with the content of the site.

If I find a really good site that has some really good downloads to offer then I will link to the downloads that I really liked.

One example is http://www.uselesscreations.com I added abut 6 screensavers today from this site.

Rob the owner at useless creations has done some excellent and very original 3d screensavers, I linked to the better ones individually as it helps people searching for specific screensavers find them. Many of our users use the Search facility on this site so if someone was searching for a star trek screensaver they would find it by searching for star trek. If we just put useless creations the star trek screensaver wouldn't have turned up in the results. get the idea?

Anyhow, I just thought I'd try and explain why, as you good folks viewing the latest posts may notice that the publishers for each post are sometimes the same.

Ed :D

Hey Chief! Whats with the adverts!
Posted by Chief on Sun, June 8th, 2003. 06:50 pm
Hi All

Well, Download2me has been live for a few months and its taken me by surprise how quickly the site has taken off.

Some days last week, we had over 12,000 page views generated by over 2000 daily visitors.

I intended at some point to put some advertising on download2me but due to the speed that download2me is growing I decided to add them sooner rather than later.

Download2me is hosted by oneandone.co.uk They are supposed to be the best hosting company in Europe and although they are reasonably priced, download2me has exceeded the bandwidth allowance on a few occasions which means I'm being charged extra by one and one for hosting my site.

This is where the ads come in. I have tried to make them applicable to the theme of download2me and I don't think they will slow the site down much. I have also tried to keep them down to a minimum.

Basically, feel free to check them out (You'll be doing me a favour) :) I won't be adding any more adverts at this stage, I'll never go the pop up route (thats just annoying) so I hope the addition doesn't spoil your online experience.

Thanks for reading and as always, feel free to reply to this thread if you have any comments.

Also, if you'd like to advertise on download2me then Click Here

New Partnership
Posted by Chief on Fri, June 6th, 2003. 11:27 am
Hi All

We have been in talks with trygames recently.

They seem pretty good so we'll start putting some of their games on the site.

Basically, you download the full version of the game. You can then play the full unrestricted version for a set time (eg 1 hour) or you get the first few levels of the game.

The good thing is, if you want to buy the full version there is nothing else to download. You just pay for the game, they e-mail you the registration key, you unlock the game and away you go. Full version game with no restrictions.

Because everything is done via download you save on the packaging costs so the games are nearly always cheaper then you could find anywhere else.

So if you want to check them out then check out the link below

Click Here for game downloads

We'll be linking direct to individual games over the next few weeks.

Unmoderated free for all forum added
Posted by Chief on Tue, June 3rd, 2003. 04:49 pm
Just as a trial we have added an unmoderated free for all forum. This may eventually replace the current free for all forum as this forum wasn't really free for all as people posting still had to abide by the posting conditions (Still with me ;) )

The unmoderated free for all has Anonymous Posting enabled which basically means people not registed on the site can still take part in posting.

We'll be keeping an eye on it for the next few days to see what goes on in there.

If you are going to post in there, don't use it to flame any other members. Maker your posts something that people can reply to.

You can visit this forum by clicking the link below:
