Download BitTorrent files without a torrent client !



BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol.
BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the entire costs of hardware, hosting, and bandwidth resources.


so everybody downloads torrents via programs like utorrent or bitcomet.
and sometime it take quite some time before it's ready ( if you have a slow computer)
but there's a new experiment on the web "Bitlet".

If you wanna download a torrent just give web site BitLet the URL of the .torrent file and it downloads the file using its web-based BitTorrent client.


Beyond that, BitLet is pretty simple: just paste the address of the .torrent file, click Download torrent, and select the directory you want to save the file to. If all works well, your download will begin. BitLet is certainly not a replacement for a full-fledged desktop BitTorrent client like uTorrent , but it does provide a simple way to download something via BitTorrent without installing any new software (assuming you've got the latest Java VM browser plugin installed).

Cannot delete file: Access is denied

There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

So if the file is in use, how do you delete it?

# Click on Start, Search, All Files and Folders
# Type the name of the undeletable file in the box shown
# Make sure the Look In box shows the correct drive letter
# Click Search and let the computer find the file
# Once the file is located, right-click on it and choose properties, make a note of the file location. Usually this is something similar to
c:\windows\system32\undeleteablefilesname.exe
# Close the search box
# Click on Start, Run, and type CMD and Press Enter to open a Command Prompt window
# Leave the Command Prompt window open, but proceed to close all other open programs
# Click on Start, Run and type TASKMGR.EXE and press Enter to start Task Manager
# Click on the Processes tab, click on the process named Explorer.exe and click on End Process.
# Minimize Task Manager but leave it open
# Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory where the file is located. To do this, use the CD command. You can follow the example below.
Example: to change to the Windows\System32 directory you would enter the following command and Press Enter
cd \windows\system32
# Now use the DEL command to delete the offending file. Type DEL where is the file you wish to delete.

# In Task Manager, click File, New Task and enter EXPLORER.EXE to restart the Windows shell.

How to Clone a Hard Drive

Did know that you could clone your current Hard Drive without having to by extra software? Maybe you didn't know that all that you needed, was already set up on your current system? Well, it is... and if you follow this tut, you shouldn't have much of a problem.Make sure that you have a Master and a Slave setup on your system. The Slave drive, in this case, is where all the data on the Master is going to go to.
First: Perform a Scandisk your Master drive and follow that with a thorough Defrag. If you have an Antivirus program, do a thorough sweep with the AV first, then do the Scandisk, followed by the Defrag.
Second: Do the same thing to the target drive, as you did the Master: Scandisk then a thorough Defrag.
Third: Right-click on the Target drive and click on Format. When the box comes up, click your mouse onto the "Full" button.
Fourth: After Formatting the Target drive, run a Scandisk again and click on the button that says "Autofix Errors".
Fifth: In this final part, you might want to cut-and-paste to code in, unless you are sure that you can do it without making any mistakes:
Click on the "Start" button, then click on the "Run..." button, then place the following into the Runbox:
"XCOPY C:\*.*D:\ /c/h/e/k/r" (minus the quotes, of course) then press the "Enter" button.
If you receive an error message, then remove the space from between XCOPY and C:\
Anything that should happen to come up in the DOS box, just click "Y" for "Yes". When its all finished, pull the original Master from the system, designate the Slave as the Master (change your jumpers), then check your new Master out.
This trick has worked and has been tested on all systems except for Windows 2000

change ur ip in 20 sec

the below given steps can be used if your IP has been banned from a game server, or on
gunbound if your IP get's blocked. I've tried this on both Windows XP n Windows 2000, n it has worked fynli:
1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok
You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"
You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that,
and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.
8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again
You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.
15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address
With a little practice, you can easily get this process in 15 seconds.
*Note* -This onli changes ur dynamic IP address, not ur ISP/IP address. If u plan on hacking a website with
this trick den u be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back.

You can actually raise your connection speed to 115kbps from 28kbps or 56kbps!

This example is for a Windows machine. Linux and Mac users are on their own, but it
shouldn't be that hard to figure out.)
Get to Control Panel. If you use XP, switch to
classic view. Double click phone and modem options, modems,
properties,advanced, and click on Extra Initialization
commands. Now enter AT&FX (try &AX&FX if that command doesn't
work) and hit ok. Now connect to the internet and notice you
boost in speed!

7.For the value of this command, enter the full path and program you want to execute
8.Now when you right click on the Start Button, your new program will be there.
9.For example, if you want Word to be added, you would add that as the first key, the default in the right

Improving the Slow Boot up time

There are a variety of reasons why your windows XP system would boot slowly. Most of the times
it this has to do with the startup applications. If you would like to speed up the bootup sequence,
consider removing some of the startup applications that you do not need. Easiest way to remove
startup apps is through System Configuration Utility. Go to Start then Run and enter MSCONFIG
and go to the Startup tab. Deselect/UnCheck application(s) that you do not want to startup at
boot time.
