WackGet is a free download manager that will allow you to sort your list of download in the order that you want. Very small Windows application that sits in your system tray. When you open the application, it will present you with a list of your downloads in queue in a small window.

WackGet is a minimalist application. It doesn’t tax system resources, doesn’t require a lot of screen real estate, and doesn’t include extraneous features. It’s free, ad-free, and is lovingly developed and maintained by the hip people at Millweed.com.

WackGet is open-source software released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
