Protect your rapidshare links

If you are worried about someone reporting the content that you have uploaded on rapidshare as abuse, then you can protect your links by posting them on this website. These websites automaticlly generate a code which will directly link to the download page, where there is no report option available. But that's all it does, and nothing more. You will still have the download time limit if you are a free user.

Try any of the links, although I recommend the first website because there are less number of ads.

How to open multiple instances of Yahoo! Messenger

If you have more than one Yahoo! account, and don’t want to use 3rd party utilities like Trillian, because they don’t offer all the functions that Yahoo! Messenger offers, then try using Yahoo! Multi Messenger. It’s a small utility that lets you open more than one instance of Yahoo! Messenger.

I have uploaded the full package of Yahoo Messenger! Along with Multi Messenger and instructions; you can download them here:

How to by pass Megaupload premium limit and get unlimited download

Megaupload has limited the number of download slots available to several countries. Only a few countries like USA, UK etc have unlimited access. The rest will either have to buy the premium account, or install the Alexa toolbar, which is a spyware. So here is a small registry fix that can help you solve this problem and you can get unlimited download using internet explorer.

Step 1: Open the run command from the start menu and type: regedit and press Enter

Step 2: Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOW$\CurrentVersionInternet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]

Those using IE 7 will have to use this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOW$\CurrentVersionInternet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform]

Step 3: Right click into Post Platform and choose New-> String Value and name it: "Alexa Toolbar" and press enter.

Step 4: Close registry editor and restart the computer.

Now you can use internet explorer to get unlimited downloads from Megaupload.

There is also a fix for Firefox, but I haven’t tested it just yet, when I do, I will post it here.

Thanks xboy for the great tutorial.

XP Royale

Royale is a great theme for Windows XP. This is an official Windows XP theme created by Microsoft. The default wallpaper is slightly blurred, so I have also included an edited version of that image.

Edonkey is alive

Those of you who have been using the regular version of edonkey, you must have seen this message when you have tired to connect to the network:

“The eDonkey2000 Network is no longer available.

If you steal music or movies, you are breaking the law.

Courts around the world -- including the United States Supreme Court --
have ruled that businesses and individuals can be prosecuted for illegal
downloading.

You are not anonymous when you illegally download copyrighted material.

Your IP address is *********** and has been logged.

Respect the music, download legally.

Goodbye Everyone.”

Worry not. Edonkey still exists, you can get the Lite version of the program here:

http://www.fslite.com/edonkey2000-lite/

This is a version that doesn’t include any adware, so basically it’s like the pro version. And it even lets you connect to Overnet now; the normal version of edonkey had problems connecting to overnet at one time. I have tested the software and it’s working just fine. I have logged on to a server with 95 million files and over 500,000 users online.

Downloading music or any copyrighted material is illegal. But since edonkey is a file sharing program, there are plenty of files that are NOT copyrighted, like music, wallpapers, old demos, collection of ebooks from project Gutenberg, user videos etc.

No one has the right to tell you what to use, and what not, as long as you are doing nothing illegal.

Assuming that everyone uses edonkey just to download music illegally is wrong, and so shutting down the network is not a way to solve the problem. If some (or majority) of the users decide to share music illegally, then its not the fault of the network. So go ahead, download all you want, just stay away from the copyrighted material.

You have been warned! Download music at your own risk!
