CPUZ is old, tired and practically useless. It's heyday was about six years ago. Speccy is a must for today.

FileOptimizer is a broad format file compression tool used to reduce file size without changing the quality, known as "lossless." This is done via wide variety of optimization and recompression tools and techniques. Original files are sent to the recycle bin for restoration in the event the uncompressed version is preferred. A list of the 400+ supported formats include audio/video (MP3, OGG, M4A), image (GIF, JPEG, PNG), office formats (DOCX, XLSX, ODT, PDF) and system files (DLL, EXE).
Supports drag-and-drop of files into the window or onto the program icon. Note that by default the program removes metadata for many file types. This information reduces overall file size and protects privacy but is important to some users (e.g. photographers) and file search tools.
A 64-bit version is available within the folder, the author reports the program is functional in WINE, and can be used on the command line. Many images here on TPFC including our logo have been compressed using FileOptimizer.

I just tried to reduce the size of a video and it has left me exactly the same and with either option: fast and the best.

@kilouiski: FileOptimizer exists because so few programs take the time and energy to fully compress your files with available tools. It sounds like the program used to generate your video was an exception. |

DNS Jumper helps you modify Internet connection settings to apply custom DNS servers for your computer. Although most Internet services have default server, they are not always ideal. This management program can easily define and apply customized DNS server profiles, drawn from 50+ free server profiles.
With the "Fastest DNS" option, DNS Jumper will ping all the DNS profiles and select the fastest one to use in your area. Although the program is speed-focused, it lets you select any DNS server, some helping improve privacy, block ads, and more.

My VPN app looks for the "best & fastest" DNS servers so I'm curious to try this software and make a comparison. It’s always good to have more than one source to have an efficient way to run your computer at least that's my opinion.

NetworkConnectLog repeatedly scans your local area network using ARP and Netbios protocols, adding a new log line every time a new computer or device connects to or disconnects from your network. This helps keep track of both machines that should be on your network (servers) and those that should not (unauthorized users).
Log files are easily exported to a variety of formats including basic spreadsheets or HTML/XML file.
