Tips on Google To Narrow Your Search

Image
Google is definitely the most powerful search engine around the globe. And we believed that don't need to explain more about it. So let the post begin. Or you can go straight to : The Most Frequently Used Modifiers and Operators . Phrase searches Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. Example : "the long and winding road" Phrase searches are particularly effective if you're searching for proper names ( "George Washington" ), lyrics( "the long and winding road" ), or other famous phrases ( "This was their finest hour" ). Negative terms If your search term has more than one meaning ( bass , for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but

How To Increase The Speed of Torrent Download Part 2

Please note that the article is involving some easy technical issue. Increase download speeds by opening TCP port 6881, the "dedicated lane" for torrent file downloads. If you are a Bit Torrent downloader, you know what slow download speeds are like...frustrating and annoying, to say the least. Instead of getting your music or movie within a couple of hours, your software predicts it will take 2 to 4 days. Now, while many of the speed factors involved are out of your control, there is at least one thing you can do at your receiving end to improve this speed. It is called "Port Forwarding", or "opening your specific TCP ports". This is how it works. 1) That blue or green network cable coming out of your computer/modem/router is actually a busy highway comprised of 65,536 tiny electronic lanes (yes, over sixty-five thousand little lanes for your electrons). Each lane is called a "port", and each port is designed to allow only specific types of info

How To Increase The Speed of Torrent Download Part 1

Please note that the article is involving some easy technical issue. Some users of the BitTorrent (Torrent) client report experiencing slow downloads when sharing P2P files. This is most likely to occur on computers behind a home router or software firewall. Being behind firewalls, the BitTorrent client may block incoming Bit Torrent network connections. Given the load balancing and "swarming" nature of the BitTorrent network, clients unable to take incoming requests for uploads will naturally be allowed less bandwidth for downloads. To solve this problem, consider the following: When a user starts a BitTorrent client, the client sets up a network resource called a "port" to allow other Bit Torrent clients to connect ot it. Each port possesses a unique number called the "TCP port number." A BitTorrent client normally associates the TCP port number 6881. However, if this port is busy for some reason, the client will instead try successively higher ports (68

What is Bittorent (Torrent)

Image
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used to distribute large amounts of data. The initial distributor of the complete file or collection acts as the first seed . Each peer that downloads the data also uploads it to other peers. Relative to standard internet hosting, this provides a significant reduction in the original distributor's hardware and bandwidth resource costs. It also provides redundancy against system problems and reduces dependence on the original distributor. Programmer Bram Cohen designed the protocol in April 2001 and released a first implementation on 2 July 2001. It is now maintained by Cohen's company BitTorrent, Inc. Usage of the protocol accounts for significant Internet traffic, though the precise amount has proven difficult to measure. There are numerous BitTorrent clients available for a variety of computing platforms . Operation A BitTorrent client is any program that implements the BitTorrent protocol. Each client is capable of prepari
