Torrents are becoming increasingly popular and have become our daily routine to download the latest movies for free. Most of you are still using the default settings on your torrent downloader which gives you less download speed and also lessens your browsing speed.

In my opinion use utorrent to download because the option for bandwidth allocation and updating trackers makes a lot of difference. To increase your torrent speed to 300 % here are some tips other than the ones which are already given by torrentfreak.com .

Use Trackers :
Step 1 :

• Go to torrentz.com for searching a torrent.
• Type your search term and choose the torrent with the highest number of seeders.
• Now click on any of the sites to download the torrent.

• Click the link that says "µTorrent compatible list here".

• Now copy all the trackers by pressing ctrl +c.

• When the torrent starts downloading in utorrent. Right click on the torrent and click properties.

• Now paste the trackers you copied in the trackers list. ( Don't remove the existing trackers )
• Also set your upload speed to 3-5 kbps to have maximum download speed. Not 1 kbps .. strangely that decreases your download speed.
• Press OK and see the change.

Sometimes you may get blocked from an ISP server because of your illegal acts or some other reason. And you really get annoyed of it as you think that there is no way out. Well actually not your computer Ip, But you mac address is banned. So if we can change the Mac address of your system, than you will be a complete new user.

If you do it manually that there are certain dos commands for it that i'm gonna discuss later. But for now you can use this software the Mach Adress Changer. It is actually made for windows Xp but it worked on my vista as well.

The software will change your Mac adress as desired by you. And your computer will be a complete stranger to the ISP server. So it might work in some cases but most of all you'll get banned again.

Some times you need to download large torrent files or download files which may take a whole night. You can't keep awake but you also have the worry of shutting down your PC. You know that if you leave your Pc it will automatically hibernate and stop the download. What should one do in this situation ?

As the download speed of firefox is never even close to your actual download speed you download heavy download manager which intern increases your download speed but decreases your browser speed. But no need to worry now as Firedownload can solve this issue.

"File Type" associations are the links between your documents and the applications that create them. For instance, when you double-click a Microsoft Word Document on your desktop, Windows knows to start Word and instruct it to open the document because of the Microsoft Word Document file type.

Being a fan of Mozilla Firefox i really never thought that installing add ons and changing some of its settings would effect this browser. But i was facing a lot of connection problems and slow speed. I tried about everything but firefox wasn't just holding up.

As i have written my previous article about the top browsers, no doubt we all know that Firefox is the best browser available right now. It has all the unique features a normal user demands. But you may not be getting the real browsing speed from Firefox as the default settings have limited cache size which can't save all the pages visited and thus it takes long to load them.

Here are some hacks you may want to apply on your Firefox to make it 3-5 times faster.

1. Mozilla Firefox :

No longer a fledgling upstart, Firefox 3 is full-featured, lightning fast, and an able Internet Explorer foe. Previous versions have seen Mozilla's approach to features such as tabbed browsing and extensions become extremely popular. Even though Firefox 3 lacks a killer feature, it offers significant improvements not to be missed.

Version 3 introduces a multitude of safety and usability features. The location bar drop-down menu now includes URLs from both your browsing history and your bookmarks. A new Add-Ons manager includes a built-in plug-in search engine, saving you the previous trip to the Mozilla Web site. Single-click the star icon on the right of the location bar to bookmark the current page, or double-click on it to simultaneously add and edit the bookmark entry. You can tag bookmarks, too. Other impressive new features include password confirmation before adding it to the saved passwords list, the ability to pause and resume downloads, and merged forward and backward history lists.
Firefox 3 now runs faster and, according to Mozilla, is less susceptible to hacks and other vulnerabilities. The browser now warns your system's antivirus program when you download a file, and anti-malware and anti-phishing utilities now throw up a warning page before allowing Firefox to load risky sites. The favicon reveals Web sites' ownership details and displays the security level of your connection to that site.
Developers will appreciate that Firefox 3's new graphics and text rendering code provide rendering improvements in CSS and SVG as well as improved display of fonts and complex scripts. Firefox 3--still open-source, as ever--is a browser that all users should consider making their default Web-surfing tool.


2. Google Chrome :

Chrome is Google's attempt to make the browser disappear and to focus on the applications and pages users are viewing, rather than on the border with its tools. Some of Chrome's basic underpinnings are quite novel, but people will recognize other features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.
Currently only for Windows, Chrome is amazingly fast and is easily the quickest browser available. Based on Webkit, the same open-source engine that powers Apple Safari and Google's Android mobile platform, Chrome's interface is a drastic departure from other browsers. Instead of the traditional toolbar, Chrome puts its tabs on top. Moreover, the tabs are detachable: "tabs" and "windows" are interchangeable here. Detached tabs can be dragged and dropped into the browser, and tabs can be rearranged at any time. By isolating each tab's processes, when one site crashes, the browser does not.
Within each tab are individual controls, such as forward and back buttons. The search box and the address bar have been fused into a hybrid "Omnibox." The Omnibox includes not only suggestions for URLs culled from your browser's history, it also includes search suggestions from your search engine, and remembers site-specific search engine results. There's also Application Shortcuts, a feature that allows you to create desktop icons for Web-only applications, such as Gmail or Calendar. The stealth mode, Incognito, lets you surf without the history recording cookies.
Chrome lacks plug-ins, and there's the potential for high memory usage given that each tab is its own process. If you're addicted to Web apps and a need for speed, though, Chrome just might be the shine your browsing experience has been looking for.

3. Apple Safari :

Apple has published a Windows version of their native browser. No, the sky has not fallen and we have yet to see the spontaneous evolution of avian bacon.
What we do have is a major software publisher porting their once mono-platform browser with strong results. Much like iTunes, the Windows version of the Mac application works fine but lacks a certain tightness. It feels unfinished because it is.
Safari lacks most customization features. Skins and other aesthetic options exist in the Mac version, but not here. Hopefully that feature will come later. Just about the only thing you can alter is the font. Toolbar icons can be swapped, but the Customize option is only accessible from the Menu bar. If you like right-clicking your way to a shapelier browser, Safari's going to make you feel fat and ugly.
Safari does load pages quickly and didn't have any problems rendering Flash, although it crashed several times on Vista while processing Java. It's a memory sink, too, sometimes using three times as much RAM as Firefox when more than a couple tabs were opened. Tab sessions are savable--well, they would be savable, if the Reopen All Windows option under History worked. The built-in Roboform is buggy, and although there are plenty of extensions for the Mac Safari, that functionality hasn't been ported over.
Having a Safari engine to work with is a great boon for developers. For the average user, though, we'd recommend taking your browser hunt to more familiar grounds.

4. Opera

Opera 9.62 maintains the program's tradition of striving for the fastest, smallest, and most full-featured browser available. Opera covers the basics with tabbed browsing, mouse-over previews, a customizable search bar, advanced bookmarking tools, and simple integration with e-mail and chat clients. Mouse-gesture support, keyboard shortcuts, and drag-and-drop functionality round out the essentials.
Opera's extras push it to the top of the class. Integrated theme support previews themes from within the interface, and the new version sports a default redo that's an attractive balance between "dark" and "light" themes. Opera's desktop widgets can appear anywhere while Opera is running. The Wand utility combines auto fill with saved passwords, and it's hard to ignore the addition of torrent support and real-time fraud protection. The latest version includes reasonable anti-malware protection courtesy Haute Secure.
The expanded features in 9.62 should make any non-believer do a double-take. Opera Link enables Bookmarks, the Personal bar, Speed Dial, and Notes synchronization across all other Opera instances. Quick Find improves the search tool, allowing for full text searching from the address field, the history panel, and opera:history search. The Status bar has been restored as a default, the Wand now lets users confirm a successful login before saving credentials, and spatial navigation--similar to Opera Mini and the Wii browser--has been introduced.
The new version is faster, has multiple back-end changes to handle code better, and expands Opera Link synchronization. We think Opera has what it takes to unseat even the biggest-name browsers. You just need to hear it sing.

5. Internet Explorer 8.0 :

Internet Explorer 8 addresses just about all of the major concerns that users and critics have had with the world's most used browser. Whether they get answered in a way you like is another matter.
There are several new and interesting features. Web Slices lets you save predefined sections of a Web page for at-a-glance viewing. Instead of going to a traffic Web site for updates, the latest commuting news comes to you. Similarly, Accelerators make repetitive tasks one-click behaviors, for instance finding directions or blogging. InPrivate browsing introduces a cache and history on-off switch, while related tabs are color-coded and automatically reorganized as you open them. There's also tab sandboxing, which means that when a tab crashes, IE itself won't, and it even tries to resurrect the page that crashed.
There's a greater emphasis on Web standards and security than before. The SmartScreen and cross-site scripting filters throw up a red warning page when you're about to visit an unsafe site. There's also domain highlighting, which grays out the name of the URL you're looking at except for the domain itself. This sounds simple, but effectively draws attention to spoofed site URLs. There's also a compatibility button so that sites designed specifically for IE 7 and earlier can still be viewed.
IE 8 lacks a default "smart" location bar that many other browsers have, but you can search your history and most visited pages from there. Also, the installation process still requires a reboot--unimpressive, to say the least. Drawbacks aside, there's no reason to not upgrade if you're an old fan of IE, and there's even a few things in IE 8 for new users.
Note :This is not an official review about browsers but just a personal one.

You might not be aware that your windows 7 has not yet assigned your computer a specific rating which actually determines the performance of your windows vista. This is the key feature windows 7 uses to calibrate itself with your computer.

Suppose you have a core 2 Duo processor with 1 Gb Ram and and a 256 Mb graphic card. Now your windows will detect all your system information and adjust the visual effects accordingly. But windows 7 graphics will be set to slightly low performance than your computer can handle until you don't rate your computer.

If you are using a laptop you must keep the Ac power on or else it will give errors.

Increasing Performance :

For increasing your computer's performance you must decrease the load on your Ram. The number of programs you are running on your Ram will decrease or increase performance according to the Ram's space.

So you must close all the programs at the start up to increase the start up speed and clean all the unnecessary data which makes your pc slower.

The first thing you should do is install Zone Alarm. This is a must stronger firewall than the windows firewall. This will stop all the unnecessary functions which are working at your back without your permission and increase your Dsl and systems speed.

Resource : Download Here

Stopping Start Up Programs :

Now to stop the start up programs you open the windows defender. Go to Start -- Right Click Computer -- Click the Computers Rating Or If not rated click the rate this computer option-- And at the left side bar you will find all you need. Here are the Screen Shots.




Other things which can increase your systems performance is Defragmentation. To open the disk defragmenter Go To Start -- All Programs -- Accesories -- System Tools -- Disk Defragmenter

Another tweak is managing and organizing your files. Never put your extra files or music files in the same drive where you have installed windows. Or even if you do than make subfolders. Or else this will just make you system a whole lot of slow.

These are the basics you must do every week to make your computer run smoothly. Cheers !

I have no words to describe the new Msn Messenger 9.0. Now no need for mirrors or what ever you just download it from the official Windows Live site and install it.

The new look is absolutely amazing. All the buttons have the vista look and gloffy effect. A new feature is to add your favourite contacts in a category just by drag and drop. This way you can seperate he contacts which are mostly online and you want to talk to.

The navbar buttons are now made directly connected that means you can just add your photos in the first click and skip those annoying parts.

One more thing is added like twitter updates. They are the updates made recently by your friends with a Whats new heading at the footer.

More than that the whole look is changed and totally makes it like a new messenger. You should immediately downlaod it.

Thats all about social bookmarking. In case you still not satisfied than you might have some other thoughts. Feel free to share them.

Now a days torrents are available on every site which may be secure or not who knows. Downloading them is also another problem as software's like u torrent don't give you exactly what you want from them. But every body has to stick to torrent and why not ! where else you can get so costly software's for free with legal permission.

This is a problem for all windows vista users that they can open the Hosts file and sytem files in notepad but cannot edit them. I previously wrote a post on increasing dsl broadband speed And got the same error for hosts file.

I searched the and searched and found nothing but simple suggestion to just run it as administrator. Which is typically the lamest suggestion from non technical people.

Use Pnotepad :

Finally i jumped on this notepad editor which allows you to save about any system and windows file. It is known as Pnotepad ( Programmers Notepad ). It is actually used to make windows batch files for cmd commands and can be saved in any format. Software engineers use this to make about any file they want also used by hackers to change the registry files in a software.

This is an exceptional software for windows vista users who want to toggle there Hosts file, System.ini file or any file which can be opened from notepad. This software knows the way to save it.

Download Here : Pnotepad

What you have to do is just open the required file in it and click save. I'm 100 % sure this will resolve the issue.

Rapidshare has a policy which says that

" Every free account must be teased to its limit unless it gets frustrated and compelled to buy a premium account "

Well rapidshare, its not the case here. We people don't spend money to download stuff. We can just hack some ways which can give us enough privilege. So in this post i will show all the hacks of rapid share including search , premium link generator and turning the time off and the limits off.

We are all tired of proxies which are slow and full of popups and advertisement. Seriously using a proxy for safe browsing experience is worse than having viruses. And no body need to use proxies as now Mozilla Firfox is there to help us out.

Banned From a Website Forum

While browsing statcounter i thought of using its forums. I was shocked to see that i was banned from the forums whereas i was about to use it the first time. Here is what it said

Now we can hide and lock our private files simply. Just by applying the code to into a notepad file and than saving it as a batch file ( .bat extension ) really makes it safe.

More than 30 % of our visits are zero second visitors. Nobody can't understand how can a person give a stay of zero seconds on a page. He must spend atleast 3 to 4 seconds even to close the page.

Some say that these are the visitors who immediately close your page and are recorded as zero second visitors while others think that these visitors just pass by your page and don't stay on it.

The real answer is that statcounter uses the javascript from there Php server which counts the time from one page navigation to the other. The time taken from the 1st page load to the last page load from the same Ip shows its approximate time of stay on a page.





In the image you can see that visitors with 1 entry have the visit lenght of zero and others with 2 or three have the time counted.

So this means if someone only visits one page of a website, he will be countered as zero seconds becuase his visit lenght cannot be counted as he hasn't navigated from one page to the other.

Sometimes you give you direct link to a post. The person visits and reads it for as long as 30 minutes but if he had not navigated from that page to some other page on your site, his visit length will show up to be zero seconds .

So now the next time you see your stats, don't get dissappointed that you are getting visitors who don't read anything and don't stay on your page. And try to make your content so good that people like to read about your posts and stay on your page.

It is a fact that your computer startup will be slow if you have programs installed. And when your windows start all the unnecessary programs that you don't want start up automatically. This increases the load on your Ram and as a result your computer gets slow.

Most people try to get the load of there Ram by closing the programs from the task manager,which is an exercise they have to to every time they open there computer. Here is a way you can stop these programs from starting automatically.

Opening Microsoft Configuration

There are two ways to open MsConfing

1. Type Msconfig.exe in the run command.

2. Open C: Windows - PCHEALTH - HealthCtr- Binaries - Msconfig.exe

Modifying MsConfiguration

1 . In the general tab select the Selective Startup Option

2. Check all the option and leave the Load Start up Items unchecked.



Now Click the Services Tab and check the Hide All The Micrrosoft Services so you don't accidentally stop any system services which can cause serious trouble.

After that uncheck all the items you don't want to start at start up.



Now click Ok and restart your computer.

This is it. For all with Windows Vista search in the help for increasing speed you will find it all.

Now tell me about the change.

I use to work on widgets a lot and if you are one of my old visitor, you might know that my previous blogs had a lot of widgets and very complex Java scripts. But you should be able to put your widgets in a manner that it matches your blog template and goes up with your content style.

Here Is The List Of Widgets Other Than Those Which Are Default By Blogger And Wordpress.

This sounds pathetic but its true. Just by changing some of your settings you can actually increase you Dsl speed. It effects both the download and browsing. but your upload will get slower as the priority will be given to the download a browsing.

This is usually used by the Download Accelerators and video accelerators which suck out all your bandwidth and give the priority to the relative thing.
