Comments and Reviews
Not sure about the classic version, but 1.96 was the best received of all the versions. After that though, the program ended up under some unreliable management which turned it into adware and made it annoying to use. I can't speak for the 3.x versions' effectiveness since I couldn't stand the GUI long enough to download with it.
1.73 is the best.

DanMan: cause there are huge differences between these, they want to give you the option.
Does anyone know why they offer 3 different versions to download (3.x, 1.96 and classic)?
