Gobby. Bubbling over with 1990's user friendliness:

"There is a native Win32 build of sobby at [link]. There are no special Windows-specific features, but it runs. You will need glibmm, libxml++ (from the gtkmm installer), obby and net6 DLLs (from the Gobby installer or the gobby-win32 repos). There has been no extensive testing on the Win32 platform, so consider this as experimental." - March 2007, (latest)

And yet it's the same functionality. Personally, I would prefer a desktop app when working on anything sensitive (i.e. code at work)

Another plus: you don't have to worry about it getting slashdotted / digged / whatever like what's happening now :)
