Use Goliath to speed iDisk access

Goliath is a freeware open-source app which enables much faster access to iDisks (and other WebDAV sites). Goliath is available for both classic MacOS and MacOS X. It has been around since 1999, but really needs to be more advertised.

[Editor's note: I had never heard of Goliath. I downloaded it and tested it, and there's no doubt about it -- it's a very fast way of using WebDAV to access your iDisk! I had been using AFP in the Finder as it was much faster, but Goliath is at least as fast, if not faster. The only thing I found lacking was documentation on exactly how to connect to the iDisk. In the connection dialog, simply enter http://idisk.mac.com/username and then enter your username and password where noted, and you should be in. Once connected, you can treat the Goliath windows just like Finder windows.]
