Loving Imageshack's Torrent ServiceI've been using the new Imageshack torrent downloading service, and I am loving it. I only signed up after reading about the service, and the first couple of days I wasn't given any space to download with. But I have it now, and I've got to say the service is very well done. Here's how it works: you give them a torrent file or URL, and their servers do the downloading. When it's done, you download the file via normal HTTP download. You don't get the grief from your service provider over torrent traffic, and you don't need to leave your computer on while the torrents download. I am not sure that these are the final numbers, but my account has 5GB of space at a given time, and 10GB of download traffic per month. You can pay for more, quite a lot more, but this is just about right for me. As you delete things after you download them, your space quota gets freed up. So those numbers aren't as much of a brick wall as they might seem.One cool thing I noticed today, I downloaded a particularly popular torrent, and it was downloaded immediately. It was 350MB, so actual downloading in that time, even with their resources, was highly unlikely. It would be fairly easy to match up different downloading the same torrent URLs and just keep one copy of the file. It would save a ton of processing and bandwidth, and it makes it great for users like me. So check it out, it's a great way to download torrents if you don't like constantly monitoring and managing them. Labels: imageshack, torrent | ||

Free Standalone File Recovery I more-than-occasionally delete a file I really need. There used to be a free Sony undelete utility that I liked for use on flash memory, but it worked for most any drive.Well, finally, I have a new and wonderful tool, so here it is for you. Hat tip to Drive Recoveries for pointing me toward Recover Files 2. The really nice thing about it is there is no need to install it. Just throw it on a thumb drive and run it directly from there. It's easy to use, it either will work or it won't, so it's a nice first thing to try. Labels: file recover, undelete, unerase | ||
