4.Now try downloading,for many people this may work if their ISP provides a dynamic ip.

Rapidshare Method 2

1.Just switch off your router(or modem) and switch it back on.

2.This may work for some users(Mtnl and Bsnl) and maybe some others too.

Actually these methods generally work for those people whose ISP gives them dynamic ip.

If these dont work then one more thing that can be done is to use proxies.

Rapidshare Method 3

1.Donwload the software Hide ip platinum from here
Hide IP platinum.

Windows weak point

Point #1
For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

is it just a really weird bug? :-??

Point #2

microsoft crazy facts


This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

It was discovered by a indian name is ome k . Try it out yourself...

Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER
then see the magic.....................

Point #3

someone discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER post scrap cancel





Reasons....................

The reason for not providing access for creating such folders is as when kernel is created in the file system. It creates aliases for each port and related IRQ status of the designated port. When we wanna make con or COM1 or LPT1. then a scaript which is turned on by the kernel of O/s. prevent or restict the user to create such keyword folders which are previously aliased by the kernel of O/S. thats the main reason. There can also be any other reason as con is already ment for copy con command to create a console bounded file in pre historic DOS. Grand Father of Current MS Windows and other members of this clan. So they are usually inheriting the same property for con (Specifically I am mentioning here con not about COM or LPT port). For them the previous reason is best as per my knowledge and workouts.
