Welcome to the Download Depot!
The Download Depot is a selection of popular internet/intranet share-ware
and free-ware software collected from the internet and gathered together in
one place. The purpose of the Depot is as follows:
- to provide a single convenient place for UofH students,
faculty, and staff to get the most popular internet software
- to achieve fast download speed utilizing our high speed
network and servers - generally a zillion times faster than getting the
software from across the internet directly
- to conserve internet bandwidth for non-redundant purposes
Here you will find software for Microsoft Windows95 and up, and AppleOS. If you
don't see something here that you think should be here, or come
across a new version of software that should be updated here, send
an e-mail message to system@mail.hartford.edu for consideration
(include the URL to the software's download site).
Things you should know about this page:
- The copyright of all software provided here is maintained by the
authors of the software; the software is provided here as a convenience.
- Most of the Windows software packages are provided in ready-to-use
executable format - that is - if your browser asks you if you want to
"save" or "execute" the file, you can just execute it, and the
installation program will begin automatically after the download completes.
Some programs are provided in compressed "ZIPped" format. For
ZIPped files, you should create a new folder on your hard disk for the
software and save the ZIPped file to it. Then use an "unZIPper",
such as the Unstuffit program offered in the Utilities
section of this page, to decompress it. Usually you end up with a
ready-to-run program, or an installer program that you must run.
- Most AppleOS software packages are provided in ".hqx" format.
Some programs are offered in BIN format, or ".smi" format as indicated.
- The software on this page is only available to computers on
campus, and off-campus users connected via the University's dial-up PPP
system.
