Dont be fooled by the name "Mini"! The DameWare Mini remote Control (DMRC) program is loaded with numerous features to help IT professionals get the most out of remote control connectivity. Unlike other remote Control programs, the installation of the Mini remote Control Client Agent does not install low-level drivers nor does it replace any existing Operating System drivers.

This in turn eliminates a reboot of the remote machine when connecting. By simply using Microsoft Windows API calls to interact with the local and remote machines, the Mini remote Control is considered to be the most lightweight and independent remote control application on the market. Hence the term "Mini."

The Mini remote Control program offers quick and easy "on the fly" deployment of its client agent service to remote machines. Giving an administrator the ability to remotely install the client agent service eliminates the need to physically visit the remote machine to install the software. This gives administrators the unique ability to remote control any machine on the LAN or WAN (across town, across the country, or even around the world) in a matter of seconds.

The Mini remote Control includes extensive features with regard to security and encryption, including multiple authentication methods primarily designed to use the Operating Systems built-in security. It also offers the option of encrypting all communications between the remote and local machines. Essentially, for any type of encryption the Mini remote Control uses Microsofts cryptographic services providers (CSPs) & CryptoAPIs, taking advantage of todays standards for Encryption, Hashing, and Key Exchange.

Version 5.5 and above of the DameWare Mini remote Control program is also the only known third-party remote administration tool with the ability to perform an Interactive smart Card Login as well as remote smart Card Authentication, using a smart Card and PIN from your local machine. This also does not require any type of smart Card Middleware, nor does it even require a smart Card reader installed on the remote machine.

With tons of settings and features, the Mini remote Control can be customized to fit your network environment. The Mini remote Control makes the NT Utilities software suite the ultimate administrative tool for managing Windows based networks. No network is too big or too small for the DameWare Mini remote Control.

DameWare Developments affordable licensing policy is also based on the number of administrators actually using the software, regardless of the number of servers or clients accessed.

StrongDC++ is a popular freeware that allows users to quickly share files in the Direct Connect network. Developed as an upgrade to DC++ it has many additional features that makes it very user friendly. Built under the GNU/GPL (General Public License), web enthusiasts can download the source code and modify it as per their requirements. This client supports separate downloading, which allows you to e-share files without any restriction. Installation of this smart utility is easy and snappy. Simply download and unzip the zip file, copy the contents into a directory and double click the .exe application. Its setup is also extremely simple - just go to File>Settings, or click on the icon in the toolbar, and you will see the settings pop-up.

Pros

The Safe Segmented downloading option, which StrongDC++presents, allows you to download the same file from several users simultaneously, and without corruption. This feature dramatically improves download speed and is much more reliable as well. Segment position and size are decided by file size and chunks speed. Thanks to the Partial File Sharing feature, you can download parts of files that are currently being uploaded or downloaded by other users, which drastically increases traffic as well as download speed. Obviously, the file also expands over the network. The Download / Upload Speed Limiter avoids a full line usage, leaving some speed for web browsing as well. As for the Automatic Slow Downloads Disconnecting option, this disconnects sources which are not being of much help and finds new ones instead. In other words, if download speed during segmented downloading gets too low, the source is disconnected to avoid unnecessary slot usage. Moreover, StrongDC++ includes element of fun and can be easily personalized; you can set your favorite sounds, change color scheme and icons, select the option for showing popup balloons, and even use emoticons.

Cons

Some older versions of AVG antivirus may flag this utility as a virus and even delete it. In case your utility setup is faulty, its memory usage shoots up. At times, due to the same reason, StrongDC++ may function erratically and can even be flakey, in which case you should not use it across your LAN.

Conclusion

Overall, StrongDC++ is a great file sharing utility with many smart features and additional benefits over the older version. It may not be the most popular or the fastest … not even the most performant … yet it does have its own unique and attactive assets.
