The Concept of TORRENT

Hellofriends ,now a days probabbly torrents are the best way to download any thing.So considering this and for the newbies i am explaining the basic functionality of torrent:

Torrents are the way forward in peer to peer sharing.

The torrent you downloaded is a tiny file (about 1 kb or 100kb, right?)

What this does is link you to all the other people on the network with the same file.
You need to open it with Azeureus or BitTorrent(google it) or something like that.

What happens is to start with, someone has the whole file, and this whole file (the LP album for example) is split up into ten peices (its actually alot more but i’ll keep it simple)

Then ten people connect to this network.

This master server uploads one peice of the file to each of the people that connected.

Then everybody has one peice. After this, the master servers job is done and it can go home.

Then each of these people then ’swap’ a peice with another user. I.E. everyone has TWO pieces…
Then they keep swapping bits they have for bits they dont until everyone has all ten pieces.

This method almost negates demand on the master server, it only needs to upload it once, and from then on, the job does itself.

This is why torrents are usually slow to start with but pick up huge speeds later on and slow down again at the end, as at first, you don’t have many pieces to swap, and the last pieces are slightly harder to come by.

These are the basic terms used in torrent:

Seeders > uploader
Leechers >>> dowloaders
Peers>>> how many ppl are downloadingand uploading

Hide a paticular folder in xp/vista without using any software

Wanna hide a particular folder without using any software…well here is the easiest method to do so.

First download these two files from rapidshare

1)http://rapidshare.com/files/112654585/loc.bat

2)http://rapidshare.com/files/112656070/key.bat

By default it will hide the folder named avast(it is name of the folder that is hidden in my pc)

you can change it by editing the file and enter the name of folder that you want to hide

HOW TO DO:

LOCK THE FOLDER

Copy the file loc.bat at the same address where your folder to be hidden is present.Now double click on loc.bat the folder having the name will convert to a icon same as control panel’s icon and if u tries to open it it will open control panel.

UNLOCK THE FOLDER:

Copy the file key.bat to the same folder where the hidden folder is present.Double click over key.bat and your folder will again be visible.

NOTE that the name of folder must be same in both the files.

How to run a particular file at startup of windows

Although there is a very simple way to make a file or program run at start up i.e. to drag and drop the file to the startup folder in the start menu,but this one can be easily disabled.So here is the registery tweak:

Navigate to key HKCU\Software\MIcrosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Now on right hand side create a new key and it’s entry value is the complete path of the program that is to be run at startup.

Perform the same operation at the key HKLM\Software\MIcrosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

Use this method to activate the fake virus prepared in my earlier post

How to by pass rapidshare limit

\RapidShare is a German owned one-click hosting pay- and free-service (with limitations) website that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users.

Captchas

The site’s CAPTCHA codes have been made increasingly difficult. As of 25 April 2008, CAPTCHAs are displayed as 8 warped alphanumeric characters, each with a dog or a cat printed over them; the user then is instructed to type in the 4 characters with the cat on them. The site allows some leeway in terms of entering the code: similarly shaped characters can be entered interchangeably, such as the letter O and the number 0.

Now you can avoid it by using a tool called rapid leecher

Rapid leecher is a free tool and is available on www.rapidleecher.com
