A short article on Torrents: Written By TuX (Site Admin)

We all have been witnessing the rise of the content distribution network – The Torrent.

It is a P2P sharing technology which enables users to share files with other users.

There are some things you need to know about before you can actually utilise the torrent network….

Seed is a user/computer which is allowing other users to download the file from it and it has finished downloading the file.

Peer is a user/computer which is downloading the file from other seeds/peers.

1. Torrent Files (.torrent extension)
2. Torrent Client (a program which can download files supporting the .torrent extension)
3. Torrent Tracker

Now we will explain you point by point so that you know about the background of the P2P network….

1. Torrent Files – The torrent files can be downloaded from many distribution sites such as bittorrent.com or ubuntu.org

(which provides ubuntu Operating System)

You can download .torrent files which are necessary to download the files. These files are small in size and some people

confuse them being actual files. So download .torrent files and keep it on your computer at a know location (e.g. Desktop)

2. Torrent Client – Many popular torrent clients are on the Internet.

The most popular are uTorrent and Azureus. uTorrent is a very lightweight client (download size is only 180KB) and uTorrent

offers good functionality and ease-of-use.

Azureus is for the power user and it offers a lot of tweaks and now comes with a new interface called Vuze which is like an

online media library which allows the users to watch or download videos and movies.

Both the torrent clients are free and the download links are provided at the end of article.

Many download managers and third party programs also have torrent file downloading capabilites but we recommend you to use

dedicated torrent downloader like the two listed above.

3. Torrent Tracker – This is the most confused concept amongst the torrent users who are currently using torrents.

A torrent tracker is a server which contains the addresses of the seeds/peers which are sharing a particular torrrent.

The tracker keeps a ‘track’ of the users which share the torrents. There are many torrent trackers on the internet. Some

trackers are provided by:

openbittorrent.com
publicbt.com

There are numerous other trackers and it is recommended to add more trackers so as to discover more peers as peers use many

different trackers.

Here is a screen-shot of uTorrent:

We are back with the second and concluding article on our coverage of tools for java programming.

In the last article, I had provided information about the various programs that are better than notepad in handling the java code and show the code errors, etc, Now we show you complete application using which you can write, compile and execute your programs, making your programming job very easy…

First we tell you about NetBeans:

1. NetBeans:

NetBeans IDE is a free, open-source Integrated Development Environment for software developers. You get all the tools you need to create professional desktop, enterprise, web, and mobile applications with the Java language, C/C++, and even dynamic languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, and Ruby. The NetBeans IDE is easy to install and use straight out of the box and runs on many platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.

For Java it can helps create professional desktop applications using the NetBeans Java GUI Builder with Swing Application Framework and Beans Binding support.

I have used this and found to be very good in developing small java applications.

The program which supports Java SE has 47 MB installer. (which can create simple java applications). On the download page you can select any version you want.

Download NetBeans  from Official Website: >>CLICK HERE<<

2. Eclipse Galileo:

This is also an package developed and maintained by The Eclipse Foundation.

ScreenShot:

The Eclipse Galileo package is available for Java Developers, packages are also available for other programming languages such as C/C++, PHP etc.

It is the essential tools for any Java developer, including a Java IDE, a CVS client, XML Editor and Mylyn. The programs can be written, compiled and executed from the screen. It is a great package and I highly recommend it to everyone who have used NetBeans and want more than what NetBeans offers.

Now that you know how to create programs in Java, which no doubt is a great language and easy to implement….Hve you been wasting time on writing your programs in a simple text editor???

If yes, then its time to change……

Do you need just an Improved NotePad or Code Editor which could provide you with suggestions and correct out your typing mistakes, choose any one editor from below:

1. NotePad++ :

NotePad++ is a free source code editor and viewer. It contains many powerful features which prompts you to replace the existing NotePad included in the Operating System. The best part is NotePad++  is completely free and its use is governed by GPL License.

It has many powerful features:

Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding

WYSIWYG

User Defined Syntax Highlighting

Auto-completion

Multi-Document

Multi-View

2. EditPlus :

EditPlus is a versatile text editor which I have personally used for writing Java Programs. It EditPlus supports powerful and customizable syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, Perl, C/C++, Java, JavaScript and VBScript by default.

You just need to create an empty file and start typing. if you have typed an error, it will be highlited, prompting you to correct at the time of typing itself, which almost eliminates the typing errors in a program.

EditPlus is distributed as Shareware. You can download the evaluation version and try it for 30 days. If you find it useful and decide to keep using EditPlus after the evaluation period has expired, you must buy a license.

Almost everybody uses a mobile phone nowadays…..Even two mobiles at once…..But have you thought of the mobile phone as a tool beyond just voice calls……Let me show you more ways of making the most out of your mobile phone….

We all use our mobile phones for voice calls and maybe even one step further, i.e. GPRS, Internet Surfing via Mobile Phone….

How to use Internet in a better way on the mobile phone…..Here’s how…

Most mobile phones come with a pretty useless and a slow browser……So it is extremely important for you to download a third-party browser like Opera or SkyFire which are pretty good for surfin (A lot better than the browser which is preloaded on the phone)……

Opera Mini uses its own servers and compress all the data so that it does not consume much memory and because it uses Java, it is snappy to download and very easy to use….It comes for almost all the mobile phones which support GPRS / EDGE……..

SkyFire on the other hand uses a similar technique but it does not use Java as the platform to be run….It claims to open youtube videos within the browser which is currently not supported by Opera….

Teashark is another alternative which again uses Java and is nice and simple to use…..

UCWEB is another browser which does not use Java and is good but seems just Like another Pocket Internet Explorer, though the newer edition is better…….
