Rapidshare Timelimit
2007-08-28 04:19:00 Rapidshare traces the users IP address to limit each user to a certain amount of downloading per day. To get around this, you need to show the rapidshare server, a different IP address. You can do this one of multiple ways.Requesting a new IP address from your ISP server.Here's how to do it in windows:1. Click Start2. Click run3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK4. When the command prompt opens type the following. ENTER after each new line.ipconfig /flushdnsipconfig /releaseipconfig /renewexit5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.6. Try the rapidshare download again.Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work. To be honest, I do not know how to do this in linux/unix/etc. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.WISE WORDS:Common sense is not so common.

You will need to have admin access to the PC to preform these actions. That being said, here is the first way to do it:Right click my computer, choose manage.Highlight the Computer Management (Local) then click on Action, choose connect to another computer.In the window that opens fill in the machine name of the PC you want to connect to and click ok.Once connected right click on Computer Management (Remote machine name) and choose properties.Go to the "Advanced" tab and click the Settings button under Start up and recovery.Click on the Shutdown button.Under action choose what you want to do (you can log off current user, shut down, restart, or power down. you can also choose if you want to force all applications to close, close hung apps, or wait for all apps to close by themselves).The second way...

Recover a Corrupted System File
2007-08-27 17:02:00 If an essential Windows file gets whacked by a virus or otherwise corrupted, restore it from the Windows CD. Search the CD for the filename, replacing the last character with an underscore; for example, Notepad.ex_. If it's found, open a command prompt and enter the command EXPAND, followed by the full pathname of the file and of the desired destination: EXPAND D:SETUPNOTEPAD.EX_ C:WindowsNOTEPAD.EXE. If either pathname contains any spaces, surround it with double quotes.If the file isn't found, search on the unmodified filename. It will probably be inside a CAB file, which Win XP treats as a folder. Simply right-drag and copy the file to the desired location. In other Windows platforms, search for a file matching *.cab that contains the filename. When the search is done, open a command prompt and enter EXTRACT /L followed by the desired location, the full pathname of the CAB file, and the desired filename; for example: EXTRACT /L C:Windows D:I386Driver.cab Notepad.exe.

Ntfs Cluster Size, better harddrive performance
2007-08-26 15:52:00 Cluster is an allocation unit. If you create file lets say 1 byte in size, at least one cluster should be allocated on FAT file system. On NTFS if file is small enough, it can be stored in MFT record itself without using additional clusters. When file grows beyond the cluster boundary, another cluster is allocated. It means that the bigger the cluster size, the more disk space is wasted, however, the performance is better.So if you have a large hard drive & don't mind wasting some space, format it with a larger cluster size to gain added performance.The following table shows the default values that Windows NT/2000/XP uses for NTFS formatting:Drive size(logical volume) Cluster size Sectors---------------------------------- ------------------------512 MB or less 512 bytes 1513 MB - 1,024 MB (1 GB) 1,024 bytes (1 KB) 21,025 MB - 2,048 MB (2 GB) 2,048 bytes (2 KB) 42,049 MB and larger 4,096 bytes (4 KB) 8However, when you format the partition manually, you can specify cluster size 512 b...
