Speedup is just another name for FTA. If you're happy with dietk's d/l accelerator, then FTA/speedup is probably unnecessary. I prefer FTA because it has more options, which is important to me as a modem user.

also, like i said, i've blocked the dietk urls because when i turned on my dietk with grokster, it gave me adware/spyware/cookies which ad-aware identified. so now my grokster browser is blank. is there another place to get dietk downloads/updates?

Ask around on these or the k-lite boards. I can't help you anymore than that because I personally don't use it.

You can just c&p, but it's much easier using
Hostess. It's very convenient for editing & merging hosts files.

ptrack is great for profile-switching, but the renaming & viewing features aren't that great. The dat viewer gives you more control ie. it allows you to make backups, compress partial files to save disk-space or even process partial .avi files for previewing.
