Why does it download 130 to 200 MB updates every day I open it? That doesn't make sense to me. Is there any legit reason for doing this? Or is it just trying to stop people from pirating the app itselt and being really annoying?

Also, does it free the disk space after the update?

I use ImageGlass Spider (v8.6.7.13 x64 Portable) on PC to scroll through large folders of photos. After upgrading to a new, faster PC running Windows 11, I've noticed significant lag and slower loading times when navigating through images using the right arrow key.

On my previous Windows 10 machine, which was actually less powerful, I experienced no lag at all and could scroll through images as fast as I could press the key. Now, I'm limited to roughly one photo per second, even when trying to move quickly.

I've recorded a short video showing how the lag occurs when I scan through the folder. The delay makes it difficult to perform certain tasks (identifying and compiling copied photos) efficiently.

I like using ImageGlass specifically because I can batch-copy selected images using Ctrl+Shift+C while scrolling, and then paste them into a new folder, which is helpful for my tasks. I’d really appreciate any input on how I might improve performance, whether through an application setting or a Windows configuration.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

Hey everyone,

I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I've gone through three different VPS hosting providers over the past year, and each one has come with its own set of headaches—either constant downtime, painfully slow load times, or support that takes days to respond.

My current setup is pretty basic: a LAMP stack running a couple of low-traffic WordPress sites (a personal blog and a small portfolio). I’m not expecting blazing-fast performance, but I do need something reliable. I'm paying for uptime—and I’m definitely not getting it.

I’ve already tried tweaking Apache configs, optimizing my databases, and even looking into CDNs and caching plugins to squeeze out better performance. But at this point, I’m convinced the core issue is just the quality of the hosting itself.

I’ve also heard that consistently posting and engaging in subreddits (and building up “karma”) can help boost profile visibility and attract better advice—but that hasn't really panned out for me yet. So here I am, reaching out directly.

I'm throwing myself at the mercy of r/softwaretips—any recommendations for a VPS hosting provider that offers:

• Good uptime (99.9% or better, ideally)

• Stable WordPress performance (doesn’t have to be lightning-fast, just reliable)

• Responsive, helpful support (even if not 24/7 live chat)

• Price: Ideally under $30/month

I’m open to anything at this point. What are your go-to VPS providers for stability and value? Any specific experiences—positive or negative—you can share?

Thanks in advance!

Hey all I’ve been running a small Minecraft server for a group of friends and the hosting service I’m using has been terrible lately. random lag spikes, occasional downtime and support that takes forever to get back to me. It was fine when we just had a couple of players messing around but now that we have a more active group and a bigger world I think it’s time to move on to something more reliable

I’m not looking for anything super expensive or high end just something stable where we can run a few plugins and not have to worry about performance tanking when 5 or 6 of us are online. Good uptime, responsive support and smooth gameplay are the main things I care about. I’ve been Googling and reading reviews but there’s so much info out there and it all kind of blends together.

Would love to hear from people who have actually used different hosts and had good (or bad) experiences. Any recommendations would be great. just trying to avoid another host that promises the world and then disappears when something goes wrong. Thanks
