Free ones:
Fiddler(IE specific)
Firebug(not truly a http sniffer but is useful)

CouchSurfing

Recently a good friend mentioned about it, seems interesting...

CouchSurfing is a worldwide network for making connections between travelers and the local communities they visit.

ORA-03115: Unsupported network datatype or representation

While duelling with Java sql and preparedstatement I got this error.

This was due to using the query both in initiating prepared statement and while executing it.
The solution is to omit the query parameter from executeQuery

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe", "Birrah", "String sqlQuery = "SELECT x, y, z VIEWgup where dt > ?";
PreparedStatement ptmt = conn.prepareStatement(sqlQuery);
ptmt.setDate(1, new java.sql.Date(sonTarih.getMillis()));
ResultSet rset = ptmt.executeQuery (sqlQuery);
//this executequery statement above should be called woth no parameters.

Torrent search?

Cubit is a system that provides fully decentralized
approximate keyword search capabilities to Azureus as a standard
plugin. Approximate search means that you can use Cubit to find a movie,
song or artist even if you don't know which spelling variation is used in
the title or in her name.
It gives you what you mean instead of what you asked for exactly, and
returns the best results in the network in only a few seconds.
