Is this page for you?
So you've heard a lot about torrents this, torrents that. And you want to know how to use them, but you don't know nuts about it all. Your not an expert, but your willing to make that first step. Well neither am I, but this page is for you :) This tute was written on Saturday 2nd September 2006 by Siddharth Dawara.

Bit Torrent Philosopy.
Let's begin with the torrent philosophy. A long time ago, when almost everyone was on dialup ... people still are. But that's not the point. Everyone used standard peer to peer technology, i.e. you connect to one or more users and download what your looking for from them. Now, the drawback in such a network architecture is that uploading is not only an option but a kind of philanthrophy. Only those people with Cable/DSL or T1 connections could afford to stay online so that other people could download information from them. Whereas, users like you and me on dialup connections would download our information and scamper offline to listen to our ripped music with satisfaction in our hearts. Such users as we will see ahead are classified as leechers. This clogs the network, as on one side you have a massive demand, and if the demand is for information that is not poular, then you have very little or no supply at all.
Moving on then, Bram Cohen decided that he wanted to change things, so he came up with the Bit Torrent protocol. What makes Bit Torrent cooler and more practical than any other peer to peer technology out there is that Bit Torrent makes it cumpulsory for you upload information to the internet as you download it.
If you think that's trivial, or it might not have any impact on how things work on a peer to peer network, think again. In December, 2005 Bit Torrent accounted for 52% of all internet traffic, all internet traffic. Of course ever since those damned peer to peer wars the RIAA and the MPAA are limiting BitTorrent traffic, and with ISP's in the US blocking BitTorrent traffic altogether it's now been neutered to 30% ... but still 30% of all internet traffic is a big deal!

Bit Torrent jargon.
On a Bit Torrent network there are certain words that you should know about:
Tracker:
A server that manages the Bit Torrent file transfer process. So if your downloading some file(s) off a particular tracker it would know everything, how much you've downloaded, who are you(IP Address), how many people your downloading from, etc. Think of a tracker as the father of what's going on. He know's everything.
A .torrent file:
A .torrent file is what you will download from a torrent search engine. This is a small file that basically points to the file you want to download, so it would contain a pointer to all the information like who to connect to, how many seeds, peers, are there for a particular file, what is it's size etc.
Torrent Search Engine:
This Search Engine isn't a search engine for the files that your looking for, but rather an index into a set of .torrent files. This is a web application that you will be accessing to download your .torrent file.
Seeders:
A seeder is someone who has a whole copy of a paricular file or set of files, and is willing to share them, i.e. is allowing you to connect with him/her. At least one seeder is necessary for any Bit Torrent download to operate.
Peers:
A peer is someone who has a partially downloaded file or set of files. A peer uploads information while he downloads. While it is always good to have a large number of peers for a particular download. If given an option go for a download which has a large number of seeders.
Leechers:
A user who is not willing to share files, just downloads files and keeps them to him/herself. Such a user should be shot in the kneecaps ... many, many times over.
Swarm:
A collection of peers.
Bit Torrent Client:
Software installed locally on your computer, that enables you to connect to a tracker, get information about a file, and hence connect to n number of users using that information, and hence download a file.

Get started with a checklist.
So we're done talking. Now it's time to step into the ring. Let's make a checklist of the things you need so we can go about this in a little organized manner.
You need.
A client.
A search engine.
To know what to download.

Bit Torrent clients.
Downloading a BitTorrent file still involves a client-server two tier architecture. You use a client ask a server for a service. In our case, you use a client, and a .torrent file to find information about a particular file on a tracker(server) and connect to people(peers) to download information.
There are about a gazillion clients available for you to use. Some of the more popular one's for the Windows platform are:
The Official BitTorrent Client.
I haven't heard anything bad about it, but then again haven't heard anything good about it either.
Azureus
A feature-rich, pack it in there Java based client. Most of those features won't be used by a beginner.
uTorrent
My personal favourite. A small file, no install. Doesn't leave any footprint on your system, modifies nothing, needs very little processing. Has all the necessary features. I would reccomend using this client.
If your not happy with my selection and want to know more, or are not using Windows you can refer to Slyck's guide to BitTorrent clients or the Wikipedia's BitTorrent client comparison page

Bit Torrent search engines.
So now your half way to being cool, you got the client down, now it's time to pick a search engine to use. Now most good search engines index almost all torrents, from software to MP3's to movies. But if you want Desi movies, Desi music, this is the wrong place to look. I may be Desi, but I don't act like it :) Moving on then, here's a list of popular search engines. I use them all the time.
Demonoid
Torrent Spy
The Pirate Bay
Mininova
ISOHunt

Your ready to download.
You already know what your searching for, or else you wouldn't be here. So plug it in the search box. You will get a resultset of .torrent files. Click on a download link, a prompt will ask you if you want to save it to your disk, or open it. You can choose to do either.
If you choose to just open it, make sure you open it with the client that you have chosen to download.
if you chose to save it to disk, once you've saved it, open it with the client you've downloaded.

Kick some ass! (About this page)
So now your download has started. As you can see, you are uploading as you are downloading, thereby you are not clogging the network, only ensuring that things run smoothly.If you feel that something needs to be changed/upgraded or you have some more questions or you just love the way I do things EMail me. If you love me even more, visit Siddharth Dawara's Blog
This page was written using simple HTML, JS and CSS, and is hosted on a free geocities account. I stole most of the CSS and JS from this Nifty Corner's page

To Conclude
Torrents are not all about ripping and downloading stuff. In all honesty you should buy things from the people who have laboured to give them to you. "Pay the Man" in the words of The Offspring.
BitTorrent has recently started a website for sharing high definition videos and is using the BitTorrent protocol I've tried to explain above to deliver content (or huge content at that). Give Zudeo a shot.

Liquid crystal display television

Liquid-crystal display televisions (LCD TV) are color television sets that use LCD technology to produce images. LCD televisions are thinner and lighter than CRTs of similar display size, and are available in much larger sizes as well. This combination of features made LCDs more practical than CRTs for many roles, and as manufacturing costs fell their eventual dominance of the television market was all but guaranteed.
In 2007 LCD televisions surpassed sales of CRT-based televisions worldwide for the first time, and its sales figures relative to other technologies is accelerating. LCD TVs are quickly displacing the only major competitors in the large-screen market, the plasma display panel and rear-projection television. LCDs are, by far, the most widely produced and sold television technology today, pushing all other technologies into niche roles.
In spite of the LCD's many advantages over the CRT technology they displaced, LCDs also have a variety of disadvantages as well. A number of other technologies are vying to enter the large-screen television market by taking advantage of these weaknesses, including OLEDs, FED and SED, but none of these have entered widespread production.

dual core processor

A dual-core processor contains two cores, and a quad-core processor contains four cores. A multi-core processor implements multiprocessing in a single physical package. Cores in a multi-core device may be coupled together tightly or loosely. For example, cores may or may not share caches, and they may implement message passing or shared memory inter-core communication methods. Common network topologies to interconnect cores include: bus, ring, 2-dimensional mesh, and crossbar. All cores are identical in homogeneous multi-core systems and they are not identical in heterogeneous multi-core systems. Just as with single-processor systems, cores in multi-core systems may implement architectures such as superscalar, VLIW, vector processing, SIMD, or multithreading.
Multi-core processors are widely used across many application domains including: general-purpose, embedded, network, digital signal processing, and graphics.

Younis demands pay hike from IPL for his champions

Karachi: Pakistan captain Younis Khan has advised his fellow players to revise their contracts with the Indian Premier League following the team's Twenty20 World Cup victory.

"After all, these players are now World champions and highly marketable. There is more value on their performances. Why should they keep on having contracts with the IPL franchises on same old contracts," Younis said.

He pointed out that top players like Kamran Akmal, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Gul and Misbah-ul Haq had signed contracts for USD 100,000 or less with the IPL when it was launched in 2008.

IT Tazee Reviews WorldCall EVDO Broadband Service

Here’s a review of the WorldCall EVDO Broadband Service for 3 months in Karachi, by Mohtashim of IT Tazee. His review is based on the 256kbps speed option.



A few snippets from his review:

Setup: Simple and fast. Since its USB, it self installs and starts to work.
Price : 3000 for the device, and 1200 and up for the service. Yes, home DSL is cheaper and faster, I agree but you do pay dearly for the mobility and to bypass KESC and PTCL all at once!
Speed: We got the speed promised consistently as long as we were in the Karachi metropolitan area.

Imran Zaheer added this comment from his own experience:

QoS varies greatly from area to area and time of day. The first 2 months (where I suppose user base was very low), I consistently used to get 80-140KB/sec (yes that’s a little above the rated speed limit). I suggest people considering this go with the 256 or 512 packages, and if you do a lot of inter city traveling, consider the PTCL EVDO option.

Hard Disk Drives

e hard disk drive in your system is the "data center" of the PC. It is here that all of your programs and data are stored between the occasions that you use the computer. Your hard disk (or disks) are the most important of the various types of permanent storage used in PCs (the others being floppy disks and other storage media such as CD-ROMs, tapes, removable drives, etc.) The hard disk differs from the others primarily in three ways: size (usually larger), speed (usually faster) and permanence (usually fixed in the PC and not removable).

Hard disk drives are almost as amazing as microprocessors in terms of the technology they use and how much progress they have made in terms of capacity, speed, and price in the last 20 years. The first PC hard disks had a capacity of 10 megabytes and a cost of over $100 per MB. Modern hard disks have capacities approaching 100 gigabytes and a cost of less than 1 cent per MB! This represents an improvement of 1,000,000% in just under 20 years, or around 67% cumulative improvement per year. At the same time, the speed of the hard disk and its interfaces have increased dramatically as well.
