Rapidshare boost one of the largest file hosting website on the planet!!! If you’re looking for a particular out there, this is the goldmine and perhaps the standard. RapidShare is a German-owned one-click hosting pay- and free-service (with certain restrictions & limitations) website that operates from Switzerland and is financed by the subscriptions of paying users. Rapidshare is one of the world’s largest file-hosting sites with millions of files stored on its servers. According to Alexa, Rapidshare.com is currently the 12th most visited website globally!!!

File Sharing

The advantages of Rapidshare is that it allows users to upload files conveniently so that other friends can retrieve them, usually for files that cannot easily be stored and send through email. Users also normally don’t have an internet server to upload these. By paying a small subscription, users can send and retrieve huge amount of data (gigabytes) and the subscription model allows for short term (3 days, a month) to longer term (a quarter, a year) depending on what you need and can afford. The value proposition allows you to perhaps send all your photos across to someone else at ease. After you uploaded the files, you can send them a link to download. Unlike other file sharing service, rapidshare download speed is fast. Over time, the network a massed a ton of files. The problem is the files are hard to get to. For example, if you forgot the link you used 3 months ago, or perhaps if you are nosy on what other files are out there that maybe useful to you. Rapidshare does not provide an easy to use file search.

As a result, a number of rapidshare search engines had been built for this purpose, to allow you to access these files easily (like using Google). Here we’ll tell you the top 10 Rapidshare Search Engines we found so that you can literally do all the easy searches for your own use. (...)

How to defrag multiple hard drive all at once?

Daniel — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:07:19 +0000

When you have used your hard disk for a while you will likely sense your computer getting slower and slower. This is when you know it’s time for ‘defrag’. If you are like me, and you have a ton of drives to defrag, the native Windows Disk Defragmenter only does one at a time. To overcome this, here’s a quick tip:

1. We’ll create a file named defrag.bat, and place it anywhere you like

2. For each hard drive, add a line to the batch file. For instance, if we want to defragment drives C: , D: , and F: we will add these three lines:

defrag c: -f
defrag d: -f
defrag f: -f

3. To run the defrag, just either double-click on the batch file or start it from the command line.

It’s that easy! And your computer will run as fast as it’s ever been

Daniel — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 04:03:18 +0000

If you use Remote Desktop Connection on Windows, you’d probably encounter this once in a while. But this problem has plagued me several times and the usual quick fix “rebooting the server” or asking for DBA help seemed over-consuming and stupid in my opinion.

Who’s want to reboot a server every time you get a blank login screen. But this is perhaps one of the most annoying thing. I want to find a fix and I want to do it without disrupting the server or calling for help. I needed a self-help solution. Here’s how… (...)
