This week we had Jason Nelson as our lecturer. He was quite amusing actually!!
He discussed open source software with us.
Open source software is considered software than can still be sold but it opens up the code for everyone else to see.
Bit torrent - breaks apart files into lots of smaller files making downloading time faster. A really good example of a bit torrent is "mininova"
When downloading games or movies 'seeds' is normally considered the number of people that are sharing the same file.
Portableapps.com is a series of freeware programs that have been modified to work on a USB stick
Jason gave us a few ideas of websites to use when downloading software and programs.
download.com
sourceforge.net
portableapps.com
freewaregenius.com
from this we were asked to download one or more of the freeware apps that Jason mentioned and write what we think of it... so stay tuned for that one!!
