					<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br><br>I am working right now on a file share/storage website. Until now there is nothing more then an instant share option that will easy let the users upload their files ( up to 600 MB ) &amp; share the download link with their friends. <br><br>You can take a look at what is already done here : <a href='http://www.alfafiles.com/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>www.alfafiles.com</a>.<br>Any good idea will be appreciated. I intend on keeping the service free &amp; will develop further as I will have time.<br><br>Waiting for your comments,<br>Mipi.]]></description>

		            <title>Report: Dell in Talks to Sell PC Factories</title>
					<description><![CDATA[ Computer-maker Dell is attempting to off-load its computer manufacturing plants around the world, The Wall Street Journal reported in its Friday edition.<br><br>The company has approached contract manufacturers over the last few months offering to sell the plants, the newspaper reported quoting &quot;people familiar with the matter.&quot;<br><br>Contract manufacturers are companies that specialize in making electronics products to-order and are a vital part of the world&#39;s electronics industry. A large percentage of the computer, networking and consumer electronics goods on sale from famous brand-names are made by such companies, many of which are based in Taiwan or China.<br><br>Dell said in March this year that it planned to take a look at its manufacturing operations as one part of a company-wide plan to enhance efficiency and achieve savings of US&#036;3 billion over the next three years. At the time it announced plans to close a factory in Austin, Texas, &quot;as a part of a broader assessment of its global manufacturing and logistics network.&quot;<br><br>Dell currently operates factories in Brazil, China, India, Ireland, Malaysia, Poland and the U.S.<br><br>A sale of its factories would represent a big shift in the way Dell does business.<br><br><img src='http://www.filesharinghelp.com/images/news/view.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <b>View:</b> <a href='http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/150690/report_dell_in_talks_to_sell_pc_factories.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Original Article</a> ]]></description>

		            <title>AV-Test release latest results</title>
					<description><![CDATA[ Independent testing body AV-Test.org has released the results of a major comparative of suite products, with many vendors&#39; 2009 editions included in the results. The test covers a range of metrics, including detection rates over various types of malware including adware and spyware, false positive rates, scanning speed, proactive detection, and response times to outbreaks. <br><br>In terms of pure detection rates in on-demand scanning, a beta version of GDATA&#39;s AVK 2009 topped the charts for both &#39;malware&#39; (measured against 1,164,662 samples) and &#39;ad- and spyware&#39; (94,291 samples), with Avira&#39;s Premium Security Suite 2008 a close runner-up in the former category and F-Secure 2009 placing second in the latter. Secure Computing&#39;s Webwasher gateway product, based on the Avira engine with some in-house heuristics, came third in both categories. <br><br>Other areas analysed were scored on a five-point scale from very good to very poor. &#39;Proactive&#39; protection included scanning of files discovered after the freezing of products, and executing unrecognised malware to test behavioural protection. Products rating &#39;good&#39; or better in every category include Avira&#39;s premium suite (the popular free version has less complete spyware detection), AVK 2009, F-Secure&#39;s 2009 suite, Symantec&#39;s Norton I.S. 2009 (still in beta) and Sophos&#39;s Security Suite 2.5. All products taking part in the test managed to achieve a &#39;good&#39; or better in at least one category. <br><br>The test also included keeping a record of the number of updates released over a four-week period. Of course, these numbers on their own cannot be used to measure the quality of the products involved, but were recorded out of interest. The most interesting data to emerge from this measurement was that the 2009 version of Norton topped the table with an impressive 6,202 incremental micro-updates, issued several times per hour, while Kaspersky came a distant second with a mere 696. Half of the 34 products tested had fewer than 100, including those from McAfee (21) and Trend Micro (30).<br><br><img src='http://www.filesharinghelp.com/images/news/view.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <b>View:</b> <a href='http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Original Article</a> ]]></description>

		            <title>isoHunt Sues the CRIA to Legalize BitTorrent Sites</title>
					<description><![CDATA[ The CRIA is known for taking on BitTorrent sites. In the past year they have threatened Demonoid and other BitTorrent sites, and taken legal action against QuebecTorrent. Now, they have set their sights on isoHunt, one of the largest BitTorrent sites on the Internet, but this might just backfire.<br><br>In May 2008, isoHunt received a Cease and Desist letter from the CRIA, in which they demanded that isoHunt founder Gary Fung should take the site offline. If Fung didn&#8217;t comply, the CRIA said it would pursue legal action, and demand &#036;20,000 for each sound recording the site has infringed. <br><br>A similar tactic worked against Demonoid, but the isoHunt founder didn&#8217;t back down so easily. &#8220;We have since tried to come to an understanding, but just as with the MPAA in the US, they ignored our offers of cooperation by the take down of .torrent links to their content files, so long as they provide sufficient identification,&#8221; Gary Fung told TorrentFreak. <br><br>Fung has pointed out that, like most other BitTorrent sites, isoHunt has a Copyright Policy, and takes down .torrent files when they receive an appropriate request. The CRIA simply ignored this, even though they have sent correct takedown notices to isoHunt before (and isoHunt complied), and continued to threaten with legal action.<br><br><img src='http://www.filesharinghelp.com/images/news/view.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <b>View:</b> <a href='http://torrentfreak.com/isohunt-sues-the-cria-to-legalize-bittorrent-sites-080905/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Original Article</a> ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ Two major UK ISPs have been ordered by the High Court to hand over the identities of several thousand alleged file-sharers. BT has confirmed it is involved while Virgin Media was less direct in admitting that lawyers Davenport Lyons, working with Topwear Inc., are about to start threatening thousands more people.<br><br>US game developer Topware Interactive, the people behind the now infamous &#8216;Dream Pinball&#8216; affair, are about to turn up the heat. Operating through London lawyers Davenport Lyons, they have managed to convince the High Court to send out an order demanding that ISPs in the UK start to hand over the details of &#8220;several thousand&#8221; alleged pirates.<br><br>According to Samknows, BT, one of the UK&#8217;s largest ISPs and like many, currently caught up in the middle of a Davenport Lyons versus P2P battle, confirmed it had been ordered to hand over details of alleged copyright infringing file-sharers. It could not confirm whether they had already handed over the details or not. However, BT was surprised at the &#8220;strong arm&#8221; tactics being employed by the games industry, in contrast to the fairly civilized warnings currently touted by the BPI, which were toned-down under duress.<br><br>&#8220;It does seem a much more strong arm approach compared to the music industry,&#8221; said the BT spokesman. &#8220;However, it is only one company pursuing a limited number of miscreants at the moment. I doubt the music industry will follow suit as the potential numbers are too great, but who knows.&#8221;<br><br><img src='http://www.filesharinghelp.com/images/news/view.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <b>View:</b> <a href='http://torrentfreak.com/isps-hand-over-details-of-several-thousand-pirates-080904/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Original Article</a> ]]></description>

		            <title>Howell verdict: RIAA wins &#036;40,850 P2P judgment</title>
					<description><![CDATA[ How much does sharing &quot;Waiting For A Girl Like You,&quot; &quot;Money For Nothing,&quot; and &quot;Sweet Child O&#39; Mine&quot; on P2P networks cost defendants if they end up in court? Arizona resident Jeffrey Howell has just found out the hard way. While Jammie Thomas came in for more than &#036;200,000 of statutory damages in her Minnesota trial last year, Howell escaped with a (mere) &#036;40,850 fine. Perhaps he should be grateful, though we doubt that&#39;s the emotion he&#39;s feeling today. <br><br>Few of the RIAA&#39;s thousands of cases against individual file-swappers ever make it to trial; fewer still reach a judgment, making these awards quite unusual. Howell, who served as his own counsel throughout the trial, did himself no favors by intentionally destroying evidence of his computer activity after being ordered by a judge to preserve it. According to the RIAA, Howell uninstalled KaZaA and deleted everything in the shared folder, reformatted his hard drive, downloaded and used a file-wiping program, and then nuked all the KaZaA logs on his PC. Anyone who has seen even a single episode of Perry Mason knows that this is a huge no-no. <br><br>Ruling last week that Howell had acted in bad faith, the judge was forced to call the case to a premature close and issue judgment against Howell. Howell&#39;s punishment was to come at a later date, and the judge has now issued his ruling. <br><br>Howell is ordered to pay &#036;350 in court costs&#8212;an incredible bargain when set against a whopping &#036;40,500 in statutory damages. In addition, he will pay 2.12 percent interest on the unpaid balance until the entire amount is paid off; in essence, Howell has just taken out a pricey new car loan, except that instead of a car, he gets a big pile of nothing to park in his driveway. <br><br>The judge also ordered him to stop infringing copyrights, &quot;including without limitation by using the Internet or any online media distribution system to reproduce (i.e., download) any of Plaintiffs&#39; Recordings, or to distribute (i.e., upload) any of Plaintiffs&#39; Recordings.&quot;<br><br><img src='http://www.filesharinghelp.com/images/news/view.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <b>View:</b> <a href='http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080901-howell-verdict-riaa-wins-40850-p2p-judgment.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Original Article</a> ]]></description>

		            <title>Comcast sues FCC, wants P2P order overturned</title>
					<description><![CDATA[ Ever since the FCC handed down its 3-2 decision against cable operator Comcast&#39;s network management techniques, Comcast has been expected to sue the FCC. Today, the cable giant made good on those predictions, filing an appeal of the FCC ruling in the DC Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over FCC decisions. <br><br>The appeal itself is brief: a two-page document, a cover letter, and a &#036;450 check. But the fight that it spawns will no doubt drag on for quite some time, centering on one major question: can the FCC rule against Comcast based on a policy statement that the FCC said was not enforceable at the time? <br><br>In a statement today, however, Comcast did admit that the FCC does have the authority to regulate ISPs &quot;in appropriate circumstances and in accordance with appropriate procedures.&quot; <br><br>As the legal process plays itself out, Comcast has pledged to abide by the order and continue its work to move towards a protocol-agnostic throttling system that could slow &quot;heavy users&quot; down to DSL levels for 20 minutes at a time (another piece of the bandwidth management puzzle, hard bandwidth caps, were also announced last month).<br><br><img src='http://www.filesharinghelp.com/images/news/view.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> <b>View:</b> <a href='http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080904-comcast-sues-fcc-wants-p2p-throttling-order-overturned.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Original Article</a> ]]></description>

		            <title>Twelve unnecessary Vista features to disable</title>
					<description><![CDATA[ Vista, thy name is bloat&#33; The latest Windows packs a lot of code -- more than any version of Windows ever -- and some of it is just plain unnecessary. All of that excess code has a way of slowing down an operating system. You can regain some PC performance by removing unneeded features. <br><br>I&#39;ve identified a dozen Vista features that you can turn off right now. Some are shiny baubles that slow down graphics performance, while others are optional utilities that hog memory when they shouldn&#39;t. A few can actually be quite useful, though they play a major role in bogging down your PC. <br><br> Interface Beautification Options[/b]<br><br>You can save some additional clock cycles by turning off all or some of Vista&#39;s pretty interface options, not all of which are directly connected to Aero. <br><br>To see the options, click Start, right-click Computer, and select Properties. Click the Advanced System Properties link, the Advanced tab, and then the Settings button inside the Performance box. <br><br>You can uncheck all of the listed options by selecting Adjust for best performance, or you can simply uncheck the ones you don&#39;t care for. I unchecked Fade or slide menus into view, Fade or slide ToolTips into view, Show shadows under menus, and Slide open combo boxes. The rest I left on. <br><br><b>Remote Assistance</b><br><br>Don&#39;t worry about turning this item off if you run Vista Home (Basic or Premium). You don&#39;t have it. If you run Vista Business or Ultimate, though, you can use Remote Assistance to control one PC from another--a useful tool if you regularly provide tech support for a relative living far away. <br><br>On the other hand, if you&#39;re not providing long-distance support, or if you prefer a third-party remote-control program, Remote Assistance is just a waste of resources. To get rid of it, click Start, right-click Computer, and select Properties. Click Remote Settings. Uncheck Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer. <br><br><b>Internet Printing Client</b><br><br>Do you ever print documents over the Internet? Neither do I. Chances are, you won&#39;t miss out on anything by disabling Vista&#39;s Internet Printing Client. <br><br>Open the &quot;Programs and Features&quot; control panel and click the Turn Windows features on or off link on the left; you&#39;ll get the Windows Features dialog box. Expand the Print Services section and uncheck Internet Printing Client. <br><br>Click OK at this point, and then wait several more minutes for the system to ask to reboot. Or you can move to the next page and read the next three items in this article, which also use this dialog box. <br><br><b>Windows Meeting Space</b><br><br>I like Windows&#39; built-in peer-to-peer collaboration program, Meeting Space, which lets you share files across a network while editing them with a remote colleague. But I don&#39;t have any use for it in my daily life, and neither do most of the people I know. <br><br>So I shut Windows Meeting Space off. You can, too. Simply uncheck Windows Meeting Space while you&#39;re in the Windows Features dialog box. If you&#39;re not in the Windows Features dialog box, see the tip on the previous page for instructions on getting to it. <br><br><b>Windows Ultimate</b><br><br>One of the best things you can do exclusively in Vista Ultimate Edition is turn off the really pointless features that are found exclusively in Vista Ultimate Edition. I refer, of course, to Ultimate Extras, a set of downloadable add-ons available only to Ultimate users. If you didn&#39;t pay for the most expensive version of Vista, these useless add-ons aren&#39;t a concern.<br><br>If you do own Ultimate, go to Windows Update (Start, All Programs, Windows Update), click View available updates, and check out all the worthless stuff Microsoft has made available exclusively to people who paid through the nose for the most bloated version of Vista. <br><br>As of this writing, the extras include a poker game, some BitLocker and EFS enhancements that hardly anyone uses, several sound schemes, and an odd tool called Windows DreamScene that lets you waste your precious system resources by using video as your wallpaper. If PC World ever asks me to write an article on pointless ways to slow down Vista, I&#39;ll start with DreamScene. <br><br>You can turn Windows Ultimate Extras off in the Windows Features control panel by clicking Turn Windows features on or off to open the Windows Features dialog box, and then unchecking Windows Ultimate Extras. <br><br><b>Tablet PC Stuff</b><br><br>I own a tablet PC, and I love Vista&#39;s tablet-oriented features -- especially the Input Panel for writing with the stylus. But if you don&#39;t have a tablet, these features are useless to you. <br><br>Turning off Vista&#39;s tablet features is a two-step process: Start in the Windows Features dialog box. If you&#39;re not already there, see the tip on the previous page for instructions on getting to it. Once there, simply uncheck Tablet PC Optional Components. <br><br>You complete the job in the Services window, which you open by clicking Start, typing services, and pressing Enter. Find and double-click Tablet PC Input Services. In the &quot;Startup type&quot; drop-down menu, select Disabled, and then click OK. <br><br><b>ReadyBoost</b><br><br>If you&#39;re not using this much-hyped Vista feature--which supposedly speeds up Vista by caching memory to a flash drive -- it&#39;s actually slowing your system down a tiny bit. (And if you are using ReadyBoost, it&#39;s probably still a drag on your PC. For an explanation, read &quot;ReadyBoost Flash Drives Lack Significant Boost.&quot;) <br><br>You turn off ReadyBoost in Services. If you aren&#39;t already there, click Start, type services, and press Enter. Find and double-click ReadyBoost. In the &quot;Startup type&quot; drop-down menu, select Disabled, and then click OK. <br><br><b>Search Indexing</b><br><br>This one is a real trade-off. Turning off Vista&#39;s indexing will slow searches to a crawl -- I&#39;m talking minutes, not seconds. But ditching this convenient feature could very likely speed up your general PC use significantly. <br><br>In other words, turning off indexing will help your PC&#39;s performance only if you seldom search by file content, or if you use a third-party search tool such as Copernic Desktop or Google Desktop (in which case you probably have two indexing routines running at the same time, which is an even bigger waste).<br><br>If you match either of those descriptions, turn off indexing by clicking Start, typing services, and pressing Enter. Find and double-click Windows Search. In the &quot;Startup type&quot; drop-down menu, select Disabled, and then click OK. <br><br><b>Offline Files</b><br><br>If you work on files stored on a server somewhere, and you can&#39;t depend on that server always being available, Vista Business and Ultimate&#39;s Offline Files feature makes your life easier by copying the files to your hard drive and keeping them synced. <br><br>Of course, that sort of thing isn&#39;t for everybody, which is probably why Microsoft didn&#39;t include Offline Files in the Home editions of Vista. But if you have Business or Ultimate and still don&#39;t need Offline Files, turn it off by clicking Start, typing services, and pressing Enter. Find and double-click Offline Files. In the &quot;Startup type&quot; drop-down menu, select Disabled, and then click OK. <br><br><b>Windows Error Reporting Service</b><br><br>Every time Windows experiences an error -- either with its own processes or with a third-party program -- it offers to report the problem to Microsoft. In theory, doing so can help the company locate problems with its OS (and heaven knows that would be a good thing). But more than likely, your report will either go unresolved or just end up in a big ol&#39; pile of other people&#39;s reports on the same problem. Either way, you&#39;re wasting your system&#39;s precious resources on a feature that isn&#39;t doing you any good. <br><br>To disable this unhelpful service, open the Services window: Click Start, type services, and press Enter. Find and double-click Windows Error Reporting Service. In the &quot;Startup type&quot; drop-down menu, select Disabled, and then click OK. <br><br><b>UAC: Boon or Bloat?</b><br><br>One of Windows Vista&#39;s most controversial new features is User Account Control (UAC), which attempts to protect your system from malware by forcing you to authorize certain system-altering actions by clicking through a dialog box from time to time. To some people, this feature is an unwanted annoyance that must be eliminated. Other users appreciate the added security. While I wouldn&#39;t go so far as to lump UAC in with the other wasteful features in this article, I can certainly understand why some folks would like to turn it off -- or at least minimize its intrusive behavior. For tips on taming UAC, see Scott Dunn&#39;s excellent article <a href='http://www.pcworld.com/article/140134/annoyance_buster_make_vistas_user_account_control_work_for_you.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>&quot;Annoyance Buster: Make Vista&#39;s User Account Control Work for You.&quot;</a><br><br><a href='http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/09/04/Twelve_unnecessary_Vista_features_to_disable_4.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Orignal Article</a> ]]></description>
