  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

Thunderbird podcast download problem

#1

Philip

For many years I've been getting my various podcasts by subscribing to the RSS feeds with Thunderbird. The podcast then appears as an attachment to a RSS item, which I can right-click and download.

Until this week. I think I updated TB a few days ago and am now on 115.12.2 64bit.

SN982 from the RSS feed no longer visibly has an attachment. Clicking Download Options I can right-click on Audio and Save As, but nothing happens and nothing is saved. If I left-click on it a player gadget opens and starts playing. I then have to right click on that and Save Audio. Same with other podcasts, e.g. Risky.Biz.

Ayone else experiencing this, or have I messed up some option with a bit of finger trouble?

I haven't tried it with podcasts, but I get some emails to one address which always has attachments. I have set up a rule to automatically detach the attachment and file it, that works well.

I'm running TB 115.12.2 64bit and it shows the attachment and I can download it....no problems.

What's the feed you are using for the podcast in Thunderbird? I wonder if you are using a proxy site.

For the main version from TWIT, the URL should be
Code:
https://feeds.twit.tv/sn.xml

If you are getting the low bandwidth version, that'll be a different URL.

I am seeing this too.

I normally download from GRC.com so this does not impact me.

These are the 2 RSS links I'm aware of, which both provide identical information...
