Beta 484/486
Been running with 484 for a while, no problems at all. Upgraded to 486, went flawless.
This all running on WinXP Pro on Core Duo T7100 with 2Gb ram
I have some questions / suggestions though :
* It’s not 100% clear what good it is to have an application list… if I forget to add an application but my USB-Stick is not full (currently at 45% of a 4gb cache device) will those forgotten programs still be cached based on the disk-usage statistics, or not ?
* When creating a RAM-cache, it suggests 512Mb (out of 1410 available). Setting the slider to the lowest point gives me 256Mb. Pressing the updown buttons gives me a lower limit of 256Mb. However, when typing the amount manually, I can go much lower… I haveit now at 128Mb and everything seems to be running fine, but I do wonder if this is ‘dangerous’ or not. The help isn’t very informative but I read somewhere that for eBoostr to work I need at cache device with at least 256Mb of free space… (I already have 4gb on a USB stick, the 128Mb ram is merele out of curiosity)
* Not sure if this is easily feasible, but maybe the cache- content screen could show some ‘hit’ information ? Or maybe there should be some kind of hit-ratio screen showing how well/bad the cache is performing ?
* I think it’d be a good idea to have a ‘system info’ button on the about form that would allow copy-pasting some of the more interesting stuff to the clipboard in order to make the beta-feedback (and bugreports if ever) more complete/standarized… just a thought.
All by all I do like this program and will most likely buy it when v3.0 comes out… not sure yet though which version as I don’t need/use all options.

Thank you for your comments
— Application list is a list of application which have some priority upon all other for caching. So eBoostr is caching all application. ‘eBoostr Cache Statistics’ show you how many files of each application is cached.
— 256 is minimal recommened value. We leave the ability to create smaller cache for advanced users
— eBoostr Control Panel contain progress with cache hit ratio. Unfortunately we do not have such statistics for each file

deroby, thanks for the feedback.
You do not have to. All beta testers will receive a free license at the Beta Program end.

Unfortunately we’ve already closed new Beta testers application. We are really close to the release.
