How to use Peer to Peer(P2P) software

Hello Guys,
This time i will giving a tutorial on use of peer to peer softwares.
The more comonly used word for this is torrent download.
Its really quite simple but requires you to know a thing or two about
the commonly used terms in this applications.

Firstly,Seeds and Peers.
Seeds:Other users who have the file you are downloading entirely that
is they possess 100 percent pieces of the files(The file that you want
to download is broken into many pieces which is then downloaded
by users.)
Peers:Other users who do not have 100 percent of the files.These users
 are also downloading the file simultaneously with you.

Secondly,Trackers
Trackers merely coordinate communication between peers attempting to
download the payload(read this as small parts of the file you are
downloading) of the torrents.

You need not know in detail what all these are..simply need to know that
have more seeds,maintain a good seed/peer ratio and get as many trackers
as possible.
To understand how to download using torrents follow the steps in the video.

Configuring PCSX2 on AMD Phenom

Hey Guys.. this post is for all the AMD users who wish to run PS2 games using PCSX2.
I have mentioned below my PC specs.The configuration for your PCSX2 depend upon how good your specs are.

PCSX2 is currently one of the best PS2 emulators..It is an open source software which you can download from http://pcsx2.net/downloads.php ,it requires bios to be downloaded separately.
The video below will give you the exact configuration for the emulator.If any one has any questions or suggestions with the configuration feel free to comment on the post.
The Configuration mentioned have given me 42-45 fps on average(i.e 85%-90%).This makes the game quite playable.The configuration may not be the best but gives you a playable output.





I would suggest you to go through the PCSX2  http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Official-English-PCSX2-configuration-guide.
As far as the configurations are concerned pay attention toward the GRAPHIC,SOUND,CPU and ADVANCED options.
Take Care and Happy Gaming...

Removal of Temporary Files

How to remove temporary files from computer?
To understand why we need to remove temporary files we need to understand what exactly are temporary files.
Temporary files are files created by a program during its execution or installation and left behind after it has been used. This can be because of crashing of the application or simply the developer forgetting to write the code to delete it after the file has been used.
The Temporary files over a period of time accumulate in the system and occupy excessive space in the hard disk hence it becomes essential to remove these files.
The most easiest and convenient option that one can go for is to use Piriform’s Ccleaner.


The Ccleaner is a popular freeware software meant for deleting or cleaning not only the temporary files but also to empty recycle bin, remove browsing history, cookies, log files, etc.
The other important feature it possesses is the inclusion of registry cleaner which repairs windows registry. It also has an uninstaller in it which is similar to the windows add remove program utility.
One more feature it possesses is the ‘Start Up’ utility which can be used to select/deselect the programs you wish to start at ‘Start Up’.
