How to Use Bittorrent
2008-05-23 04:46:00 The first things you need to know about using Bit Torrent:-- Bit Torrent is aimed at broadband users (or any connection better than dialup).-- Sharing is highly appreciated, and sharing is what keeps bit torrent alive.-- A bit torrent file (*.torrent) contains information about the piece structure of the download (more on this later)-- The method of downloading is not your conventional type of download. Since downloads do not come in as one big chunk, you are able to download from many people at once, increasing your download speeds. There may be 100 "pieces" to a file, or 20,000+ pieces, all depending on what you're downloading. Pieces are usually small (under 200kb)-- The speeds are based upon people sharing as they download, and seeders. Seeders are people who constantlyshare in order to keep torrents alive. Usually seeders are on fast connections (10mb or higher).In this tutorial, I will be describing it all using a bit torrent client called Azureus. This client is used to deco... More About: Bittorrent

How to Safeguard Your Files When Computer Crashes
2008-05-23 04:17:00 First thing to keep in mind: If your computer hasn'tm crashed yet, it will in the future! So instead of waiting for fate to strike, take some precautions now:1) BACK-UP! Buy some decent DVD-R discs and put everything useful in them. When you have more useful stuff, backup again. Do this often.2) Keep your computer healthy. Use an antivirus, an anti-spy, and a firewall. Keep them updated. Check regularly for Windows critical fixes.3) Don't install software that would do dangerous things to your hard drive. A boot manager would fall in this category.4) Use a registry cleaner before and after you install or uninstall any software. Many of the problems that will keep Windows from booting are caused by sloppy software that mess up your registry. A good registry cleaner is Tune-up Utilities.Code:http://www.tune-up.com/5) Run chkdsk now and then. Go to Start> Run. Type chkdsk /F.

How To Rename Multiple Files In Winxp
2008-05-23 04:04:00 XP lets you rename files in bulk by simply selecting multiple files within Windows Explorer and pressing the F2 key. When you use this feature, the OS applies the name you enter to the first file and applies the same name with a number in parentheses to the other files you selected (the file extensions remain unchanged).For example, if you select the following files,* notes.doc* figures.xls* disney.jpg* holiday.gifand rename the first file (notes.doc) to SoD.doc, XP renames the remaining files as follows:* SoD (1).xls* SoD (2).jpg* SoD(3).gifRelated Video More About: Rename , Files

More articles from this author:2008-05-18 12:11:00 Since defragging the disk won't do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers' PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing.1.) To decrease a system's boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software -- the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine -- and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer.2.) If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.3.) Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If you're not sure, here's how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type... More About: Speed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
