The software here with GAOTD will not only count the US Thumbs, but it will add together all the thumnbs from the different language versions.

Its common in Germany just to call the GAOTD site and click on the thumbs down page, without even trying to download and test the prog or leaving a comment.

So - don't care about thumbs up or down - its a rather useless indication. I would more rely on the comments user has given on a specific program.

For todays Give-away - I for myself will not download it, because I have no use for it, therefore no thumbs up or dowb and no comment from me.

It's been available for five minutes here on the U.S. West Coast and there are already 7 thumb-ups and 8 thumb-downs. I have to presume that these voters are simply saying whether or not they will try it, rather than commenting on the quality of the program.

you can store backups on your hard drive

Which would be a spectacularly stupid thing to do, although many people do just that. You don't store the backup the same place as what you're backing up. If your hard drive dies, your backup goes with it.

In case of a hard drive failure the most efficient way to restore a backup is by having a 'rescue' type bootable medium (CD or USB-stick) which is capable of restoring the backups to the new HD. Without such a facility you'd have to go through the whole installation process of your OS on your new HD AND be able to re-install the backup software before you can restore your backups. With the GOTD version you won't be able to do that. If you're lucky you can use a trial version to restore your backup if it allows such full functionality. Otherwise you'll be forced to buy the software to restore your backup.

I haven't found any reference in the software's specs that it has an option to create such a 'rescue' medium which for instance the different Paragon apps that have backup functionality always do have.

A major shortcoming IMHO.

would be more helpful if it said what the error was and how to prevent/avoid it in the future
