I like the program info icons you get in Web mode.

Lol, first off, what does the person choosing NEITHER expect to use..?

I believe that both HTTP and FTP are quite effective for downloading what one requires... Under Windows, I prefer HTTP, but under Linux, FTP is easier... It all balances out, of course...

Ehm, usualy when I try (..tried..) to find a file I know that is somewhere in the Ticalc.org archive, I go to a general web searchengine, bypassing the FTP/HTPP/search stuff of Ticalc.org
Is that a legal "neither"? (not that I voted that...)

If you do that, you waste a lot of time - ticalc is much faster, especially if you are looking for a specific kind of program on a specific platform.

There's always rsync...
Personally I prefer ftp to download and a description of programs on the web site. Then I can just download first (typing a few commands in ncftp) and and analyze later.

I used to use FTP, but then I switched because it doesn't give the file description

P.S. Hurry up guys, I got a word processor to release in a month or 2!

Really, it's kind of obvious, http is much easier.

Obviously the http version is the best bescause you get much more information about the program. I think it would be a lot better if we could get screenshots of every program. I know ticalc.org has started doing that, but even when you submit screenshots for them, they still don't get added...

Someone should make a plugin for VTI that automatically explores the programs and takes various screenshots. Then the archiver could select the ones worth posting. *shrug*

I think if your willing to take the time to make screenshots of your program then they deserve to be shown. If you don't know how or are just too lazy then, too bad. We shouldn't put it on the workers at ticalc.org to do all the work for us. If we want to make our program look more presentable and attract more users then it's up to us with the description and screenshots. Plus, I like the idea better of us choosing the screenshots because we know the best screenshots there are. Sometimes those screenshotters aren't too bright and choose some terrible ones.

Yeah... when the archives ARE functioning. Too bad almost the entire web of ti-83p progs are served off this one site. Until these guys get their archives straight, I have nowhere to release FallDown 2. Too bad :-( .

Let's work together to create a ticalc.org mirror! Anyone can provide an FTP server?

What about the goldfish???

I like http the best.

BTW - What happened to our goldfish poll? It's kind of rude for them to wipe out our nested poll because they decide they have another bone for us to chew on.
