There's a couple steps you can take to increase your speeds on Azureus (now known as Vuze). First, open the program and click on "tools" then "options". when the options window opens, click on the "mode" section. Set the mode to "advanced". Click the save tab.

Now click the "connections" menu item. Note the port it's using for TCP. Make sure that port is open if you're using any kind of firewall software. Likewise, if you use any kind of router for your broadband service you may have to log into your router to setup port forward for that port. You'll get a better response from trackers and the like by maintaining an open port. Just be sure you close the port when you're done downloading so you don't leave an open invitation to your computer.

Next, back in the options for Vuze you should see a submenu under "connections" click on Advanced Network Settings. Set the max outbound connect attempts to 64 then click save.

Now click on the menu item "Transfer" in the options list on the left. Set your max upload speed somewhere between 100 and 300. Lower if you have a slower connection. You want to retain bandwidth for downloading. Just remember that Vuze is a p2p network and a high upload rate is required for a high download rate. Most trackers don't allow leeching and will cap your download. Set your max upload slots to 20. Now set max connections per torrent to 120. Finally set your max global connections to 250 and click save.

While you can set the variables differently based on your connection, these settings worked best for me. I run on BSNL broadband and with minimum seeds still DL at about 60-90kB/s whereas before changing these options I was down around 15-25 kB/s.

Here are two unexplored features in GMail that will can make your Gmail inbox spam proof.




Gmail Easter Egg 1:
GMail allows email aliases and unlike Yahoo mail which lets you create just one extra email alias, GMail lets you create infinite number of aliases.

An email sent to paris.hilton@gmail.com or paris.hilton+fans @gmail.com or paris.hilton+blog@gmail.com will all be redirected to one common email address and that is paris.hilton@gmail.com.

Gmail does not recognize characters after the PLUS symbol but the gmail search filter can distinguish between the different address and you can therefore redirect these email to separats gmail folders or apply different labels.

So all emails with the TO: address as paris.hilton+blog@gmail.com (coming from her blog readers) can be automatically redirected to a blog folder in gmail and she can safely trash them when her inbox is approaching the 2 GB limit.

Gmail Easter Egg 2:
Gmail cannot recognize dots or periods in email addresses or the user names - that means an address like paris.hilton@gmail.com is the same as paris.hi.lton@gmail.com or paris...hilton@gmail.com.

This is actually a bug than a feature but you can again exploit it to have different kind of email address in your forum signatures.

Keep in mind that hyphens (-) and underscores (_) can't be used in a Gmail address. Also, gmail user names are case insensitive, so it doesn't matter if you enter upper case or lower case letters.

A great poem....

When I born, I black,
When I grow up, I black,
When I go in sun, I black,
When I cold, I black,
When I scared, I black,
When I sick, I black,
And when I die, I still black.

You white folks....

When you born, you pink,
When you grow up, you white,
When you go in sun, you red,
When you cold, you blue,
When you scared, you yellow,
When you sick, you green,
When you bruised, you purple,
And when you die, you gray.

So who you calling colored folks???

I did not understand the storage of float in C/C++ until I have executed this program by accident.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main()
{
int i;
clrscr();
float f=0.7;
cout.precision(10);
cout<<f;
getch();
}

OUTPUT
0.6999999881

Now I understand the program

if(0.7f==0.7)
printf("I love you");
else
printf("I hate you");

The output is I hate you. I was under the false impression that it was due to the size. but it is not. It is due to the precision actually.

0.7=0.7000000000 which is not equal to 0.7f=0.6999999881!

Now it makes sense. I prepared so many questions like this for my Cognizant interview. But this is the only one that I remember now.

What will happen after 3 yrs from now if cognizant, infosys, tcs keep on recruiting at the current pace in India?
