    What about recommendation on a PC data transfer now that Laplink is no longer freeware?

    An idiotic GUI, for starters. Software like this is supposed to be easy to use. After 10 mins, I still have not figured out, how to create an archive. :negative:
     
  5. what are you talking about? right click on any file,and in context menu it'll show you option to compress to zip or 7z. or just open bandizip from programs list in start menu, and it shows you two big button,, open archive, and new archive.
    it has the possibly most easy gui.r u sure you are talking about bandizip?

    Exactly 2 buttons, which are fun to look at, even 7zip is more advanced. Files/folders have to added one my one, there is no explorer like in every other archiver software. You can not quickly select multiple files/folders at once (with Ctrl or Shift), it is anything but easy. Besides there is no menu, when you use a portable version, so that makes it utterly useless.
     
  7. again, what r u talking about. Bandizip has its own explorer when u select new archive and ctrl shift to select multiple files works very fine just like windows explorer.
    it looks like you think,bandizip doesnt have features you wanted, can you tell me what features are missing in bandizip compared to 7zip, peazip, winrar? well if you want, i can give you reason why its better than 7zip peazip winrar.

    Only paid apps offer that feature. For monitoring only, Netlimiter 3 had a free version but don't know if that is still available. It was not compatible with win10.
    Alternatively, Glasswire free can give a simple monitoring of network traffic.

    I know but many firewalls doesn't have a pop-up monitor like this one.
    I use Little Snitch on macOS for a few years, this is a great app and I always try to find any alternatives for windows. I need app for manual block or allow new network connections. This app work good for now until maybe I found a similar one.

    sorry for my english.
