Preface about programs possibly installed along with Audiogalaxy Satellite (webHancer, Gator, eAccelerator):
Audiogalaxy is here to help you explore music. Our focus is to make your time at
Audiogalaxy.com an enjoyable experience. As everyone is aware the ad market for websites
is down. We used to stay in business by deriving 100% of our revenue from this, but this
is no longer possible. We were faced with a choice - close Audiogalaxy, charge users,
deploy pop-up ads, or explorer other revenue generating options. We believe we have
found a compromise by including other company's software in the Audiogalaxy Satellite
bundle. When you install and run these programs Audiogalaxy receives revenue which
allows us to grow Audiogalaxy and maintain our current server farm.
We make sure that the programs we offer you during the Audiogalaxy install are worth your
time and either enhance your WWW experience or save you money at e-commerce sites. We
sincerely hope you install and support these companies as they are also helping to
support Audiogalaxy.
Quick break down of the install process:
*Gator.com installation program is installed if you choose it (opt-out). It is never
fully installed by Audiogalaxy, but slowly downloads the contents of the real
Gator.com install over a period of time so your internet connection will not be
bogged down. After the installation is downloaded from gator.com you are given
a choice if you wish to proceed with the installation.
*eAccelerator - you are given a Yes / No choice during installation. We highly recommend
eAccelerator as it will speed up your browsing of Audiogalaxy.com and other internet
websites by employing advanced caching techniques
*onflow - www.onflow.com -> media player for your web browser
No longer bundled
*webHancer is installed on everyone's machine - it can be uninstalled by going to
control-panel add/remove programs (webHancer reports network latency about
websites you visit - they throw away your IP address BTW so its anonymous)
***********
We HIGHLY recommend that if you wish to remove everything from you system (including
Audiogalaxy Satellite) that you use the Add/Remove feature in control-panel. Using
programs like AdWare by Lavasoft have been know to crash systems because they improperly
remove programs.

Notes:
* We have released the user interface portion (ui.dll) via the GNU Public License.
If you have already designed a user interface before for the agent there will not be many
changes. It will also be easier to control events and misc other material. It is available at
http://www.audiogalaxy.com/downloads/AGSatellite-Win32UI-source.zip
* You might noticed something like this when you type netstat:
TCP you:2892 localhost:50000 ESTABLISHED
TCP you:50000 localhost:2892 ESTABLISHED
This is how AGSatellite.exe and UI.dll communicate (wait for release of source code to see more). This was done
to make it cross platform between Win32 and Linux.
