Nitro Professional 6 version 2.1.1005.0 (and presumably the entire 6 line) doesn't work as it uses the Windows 3.1 installer ...

You shold better say "Windows installer 3.1". At first I didn't understand it and thought that it is something about Windows 3.1.

Seems that the last version of Avast Home Edition for 9x is 4.8.1356.

My mistake. I took too much notice of an announcement on Filehippo of a new version of Avast Home.

New version of Avast Home Edition:

In fact, I just forced a Win98SE box to update its program, and it now tells me that the Avast! version is 4.8.1368. Good on Avast!

I just had a look at the avast! revision history. It appears that they broke 9x support in 4.8.1367 and then fixed it in 4.8.1368.
I was using 4.8.1356 and then today updated to 4.8.1368, so I never saw any problems.
Well, at least they are currently proactive with 9x compatibility.

avast! 4 Home/Professional Revision History

Version 4.8.1368

November 27, 2009

Version 4.8.1367

Wow, it's even compatible with Windows 95? That's neat.

Unfortunately, utorrent just dropped support for all Win 9x. Up to now, this tiny, fast and useful torrent program supported even Windows 98. I wonder what led the developers to drop support.

Last version to work is 1.8.5 (build 17091).
Current version, which no longer works, is 1.8.5 (build 17414).

uTorrent 1.8.5 (build 17091) is available from FileHippo:

GnuPG 1.4.10 no longer installs on Win9x, so:

I had version 1.8.4 in stalled on this system.

I just downloaded 1.8.5 (build 17414) and installed it. I did not un-install my existing version. No complaints or warnings during the installation. It launched right after the installation and I confirmed that I'm now running 1.8.5 build 17414 on my win-98 system.

If I have kernelEx installed on this system (which I'm pretty sure I do) it would be version 3.6.

I prefer to stay with µTorrent - it's great, small BT client.

I've liked Azureus but Vuze is so bloated that I can't recommend it to anyone.

[dencorso]

I second that! µTorrent rocks!

Almost a year ago I posted these, and they never did get added to the main list. I think galahs overlooked the post, since he did add another list of programs I posted in a later post.

Several of these programs have been updated, and I've changed the numbers to reflect that. I've also categorized everything to make it clear what goes where.

Edit: These have all been added to the first post in the thread. Thanks galahs.

I know of a couple of browsers that still works with WinMe and 98.

GhostFox the latest. It looks like it is Mozilla creation as a hybred between IE and Gecko engine of the Mozilla browsers.
http://www.ghostfox.org/

SlimBrowser 4.12

http://www.flashpeak.com/sbrowser/

Their FlashFTP also works with WinMe and 98.

FreeBrowser also works with WinMe and 98, but they added a spyware search bar with it.

Ace Explorer

http://www.aceexplorer.com/

Cayman browser

http://www.caymanbrowser.com/


Those are the ones that I am trying out right now besides CB, Maxthon, IE, Firefox and Opera.


They all look like ongoing projects and all that. Plus everything I listed are all freeware products.
