NetMagnet attracts power users

From PC Week Labs

PeakSoft Corp.'s NetMagnet 1.0 has powerful local page caching and management features that will benefit heavy Web users, but those with more everyday needs will find its strengths negated by its unfriendly interface.

NetMagnet 1.0, now available for $79.95, includes a trace capability that lets users easily browse through several days' worth of Web use to locate specific pages. The product's cache capability also allowed it to be used as a basic offline Web browser in PC Week Labs' tests.

The product's PeakJet technology prescanned links on Web pages as we viewed them, so linked pages were already cached when we clicked them. However, these capabilities are tied to a limited user interface that made it difficult to manage pages cached in the tracer.

Although the product has a presenter feature that lets users create Web-page demonstrations and send them as executable programs to other users, this failed to work on our Windows NT system.

PeakSoft, of Bellingham, Wash., can be reached at (888) 377-7325 or www.peak.com.
