Feedback:

1.  I'm not sure how someone is supposed to evaluate a binary-only tool 
that wants to connect to their firewall- the potential for malice is 
large, and it's difficult to imagine someone with firewall issues setting 
up an appropriate sandbox.  

2.  Why do people insist on archiving using rar instead of zip?  I can't 
imagine letting a RAR file through a content filter, heck I don't even 
like to allow .zips!

3.  Windows-only tools aren't very useful to me (one of the reasons I'm 
moving away from firewalls like Watchguard that require a Windows box to 
administer.)
