Downloading torrents using torrent clients like BitTorrent, U torrent etc is big
trouble, sometimes torrents speed issues or somethings internet service
provider restrictions so why don't we download torrents directly ?
Yes, it is possible there are many services that helps you in
downloading torrents directly. Actually they firstly download torrents
on there cloud/server and the downloading speed of servers are too high
so it takes less then a minutes in downloading 100 GB torrent file and
then you can download that file like you download normal files using IDM
with full speed and with no restriction.
There are many services available like ZBigz etc but they have many
restrictions and they make the process very hard for free user, but I
researched a lot and then I found a great free services named as Seedr. Trust me this is the best website for this job.
So, follow the steps below and start downloading torrents using IDM:
When you register for the first time you can get a Free 2GB of space. You can later increase it by referring the service to your friends and relatives or some other processes like:
Using BitTorrent you are absolutely open. It means that everybody in the network knows about you and your activity.
Everybody knows what, when and how many downloads you have made.
It is one of the main principles of a BitTorrent network and nobody can avoid it using the usual ways.
When you use ZbigZ you are shielded behind us. All your activity is on behalf of ZbigZ. You are absolutely anonymous.
You can use ZbigZ for free and even without (free) registration. You can try it right now.
There are some further opportunities for registered users and even more opportunities for Premium users.
On Tuesday, Microsoft announced the availability of Office 2016 for Windows desktop platform. Used by more than 1 billion people worldwide, Office is not only the most popular productivity suite available on the planet, it is also one of the biggest revenue channels for the company.
Microsoft drops a new version of Office every three years. But despite being one of the oldest, and the single-most dominant player in the market, Office today faces more competition than it has in the recent times. A number of emerging players including Google's Drive suite, and open source alternatives like OpenOffice and LibreOffice offer several of Office's features for no cost at all. So what new features has Microsoft added in Office 2016 to drive it miles apart from the rivals? Here are the top 10 features.
1) Co-Authoring
Perhaps the single biggest addition to Office is the introduction of a feature called co-authoring in several of Office applications -- Word and PowerPoint. Co-authoring allows more than one user to work on a document simultaneously. Microsoft says that users can work on a document regardless of the device - read the operating system - they are using.
In addition, when multiple users are working on a document, the participants can see where others are working in a document in real-time. The feature, however, is limited to Word.
2) Office Sway
Microsoft has bundled Sway, a tool the company introduced earlier as a standalone service, right into the Office suite. Sway lets you make stylish media presentations that can be quickly made and embedded on websites.
3) Tell Me
Remember the annoying assistant Clippy that used to come in older versions of Office? Tell Me is a smarter version of it. Available in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Project, Visio, and Access, Tell Me is a smart assistant that can understand your queries written in completely human-y words. It will assist you with whatever issues you're having. There is also a feature called Delve, which as the company claims, uses algorithms to bring together the most relevant information or documents in one place.
4) Smart Lookup
Forget the crippled built-in dictionary, Smart Lookup features in the new Office version will provide you with contextual information about words and phrases you need to know more about. When you select a word or a phrase - in Word, PowerPoint, or any other Office application - the sidebar opens at the right side with details about the selected text from various sources, including Wikipedia.

When you select a word or a phrase - in Word, PowerPoint, or any other Office application - the sidebar opens at the right side with details about the selected text from various sources, including Wikipedia.
7) Mail Triage
Microsoft's Clutter feature in Outlook analyses your email pattern and also observes the people you interact with the most, and using these metrics, it prioritises your emails and only shows you what's really important to you while putting low priority emails into a separate folder.
8) Better integration with OneDrive and Skype
OneDrive integration enables you to open an Office document from anywhere and from any supported device. Not only can you access these files, you can in fact pick up right from where have you left on another device.
Skype, as you can imagine, allows you to talk to your colleagues, initiate and join online meetings and share your screen with your colleagues.
9) Planner
Microsoft is also introducing a feature called Planner that allows a team to make projects and quickly make tasks and documents. It utilises Office Graph, a feature that keeps a record of every document, email-related actions, and other activity log of a user. It is very similar to Trello, but with its ability to tap on Office Graph, Planner is arguably more efficient and useful.
10) Windows 10 support
There are several Windows 10 features that work great with Office 2016. Windows Hello - a biometric authentication measure the company introduced with the new desktop operating system which checks a person's face to login to the computer - also works with Office 2016. In addition, Cortana can work in conjunction with Office apps too and fetch important information and perform handy tasks.
What are your favourite Office 2016 features? Let us know via the comments.
The good:The Lenovo IdeaPad Y500
offers high-end components, including gamer-level graphics, a swappable
accessory bay, and the coolest-looking backlit keyboard I've seen in a
long while.
The bad:If
only the Y500 had a touch screen, which is practically required for the
Windows 8 UI, it might be one of my favorite laptops of the year.
The bottom line:For
those looking for something more than a feature-light ultrabook, the
gamer-friendly Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is close to brilliant, and several
configurations are currently available at a deep discount -- but I can't
believe it doesn't have a touch screen.
Price: $.1,499.99
The current version of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is a laptop that's hard
not to like. A chunky, 15-inch Windows 8 machine with some real gaming
muscle, sharp design, and a funky red-on-black backlit keyboard, it
perfectly embodies the aesthetic Lenovo seems to be reaching for in the
consumer-targeted IdeaPad line. It's not as staid as the much more
traditional ThinkPad line, but instead takes basic black plastic and
brushed metal and adds a sophisticated edge.
The Y500 is represented here by an impressive high-end SLI
configuration, which Lenovo says runs $1,299, but this dual-GPU
configuration is only available from retailers such as NewEgg. However,
Lenovo is offering deep discounts on some single-GPU configurations on
its website as of this writing, with a couple under $900. Despite the
attractive prices and components, there are still issues. The Nvidia
GeForce 650M GPU found here is great for a mainstream laptop, but the
lack of a touch screen means the system is not well-suited for all the
nongaming hours you're going to spend in the Windows 8 UI. The keyboard
is excellent (and the red backlight gives it a nice edge), but the touch
pad has an imprecise, floating feel, exacerbated by the lack of a
secondary touch input on the screen.
Adding some extra kick is the system's modular Ultrabay concept.
Years ago, you would see this occasionally on midsize and larger
laptops, but today it's very rare. Where the optical drive would
normally go, in right side of the system chassis, is instead a bay that
can handle different optional components.
The Ultrabay accessory
included in our review unit is a second GeForce GT650M graphics card -- a
rarity indeed for a gaming laptop -- but you can also use the bay for
an extra hard drive, an additional cooling fan, or an optical drive.
All
that makes the Y500 powerful, flexible, and stylish. It's also
well-made, looks sharp, and is quite reasonably priced (and a positive
bargain, if the current sale prices hold). If it only had a touch screen
for a frustration-free Windows 8 experience, this might be my favorite
laptop of 2013 to date. As it is, the non-touch screen would be a
deal-killer for me if I were reaching into my pocket to buy a new
laptop.
Design and features
It's easy to tell at first glance that this is no ultrabook. Unlike the
majority of laptops we've reviewed over the past year or so, the Y500 is
not trying to be a slim MacBook Air clone. Instead this is a 15-inch
portable powerhouse, with a full-voltage Intel Core i7 CPU and not one,
but two graphics cards. Even with all that, it's still hardly thicker
than the average midsize laptop of a few years ago, proving that it's
not just ultrabooks that have slimmed down.
The basic-black
design is a matter of taste -- some people would not be caught dead with
a goth-looking black laptop. But black gadgets, white gadgets, chrome
gadgets, and so forth all seem to have their day in the sun and then go
back out of style.
In this case, the back of the lid has a
brushed-metal finish, with a flat black wrist rest and black keys.
That's unusual, because there's typically some contrast between the key
faces and keyboard tray in a laptop. The contrast in this case, however,
comes from the keyboard's backlighting.
The outer edge of each raised, island-style key glows deep red,
helping the individual keys stand out against the dark background. It's a
bit in-your-face, but I have to admit I thought it looked pretty sharp
-- although the fact that it's just so different from other backlit
keyboards may have put a bit of a thumb on the scale for me.
The keyboard itself is similar to what we've seen on other recent
IdeaPad laptops, and even some ThinkPad models. The keys, thanks to
copious keyboard research and testing from Lenovo, are well-spaced, deep
enough to give a satisfying click, and make the most out of the space
offered, with large Shift, Return, and other important keys.
The same cannot be said for the large, clickpad-style touch pad. It
lacks separate left and right mouse buttons, as many current laptops do,
but the two click zones are hard to hit consistently and the entire pad
feels like it's floating on top of the wrist rest -- use too light a
touch and your finger slips just enough to miss whatever you're clicking
on before the click actually registers.
Compounding this problem is that, because the Y500 lacks a touch screen,
that touch pad is going to be your main interface with the Windows 8
UI, unless you plug in an external mouse.
While the finicky touch pad and lack of a touch screen are annoying, I
must applaud the Ultrabay concept. Years ago, one would very
occasionally run into a laptop with swappable accessories, but I'm glad
to see the idea is still around, at least in this system. The bay came
with a second Nvidia GPU in our configuration, but sold-separately
alternatives include an additional fan, a second hard drive, and an
optical drive, which each cost between $29 and $189.
The devices are not exactly hot-swappable, so don't expect to install
a game via the DVD drive, then just pull the drive out and replace it
with the second GPU. Instead, you have to flip the laptop over, remove
the battery, and then release a couple of latches to pull out the
component that's currently in the bay. Still, it's a feature that makes
your laptop more flexible, and I could see swapping in the fan, for
example, to get longer battery life and better cooling while on the
road.
The 15.6-inch display has a native resolution of
1,920x1,080 pixels, which is what you'd expect in a high-end midsize
laptop today. The most recent Y-series Lenovo we looked at, the 2012 IdeaPad Y480,
was a 14-inch model with only a 1,366x768 screen. At the time, we
rightly pointed out that for a $1,000-plus midsize laptop, that was
unacceptable. The better resolution on this model is much more in line
with expectations.
As mentioned previously, that
otherwise-excellent screen isn't a touch screen, which would greatly
increase its appeal. Some would no doubt say that you don't need touch
for Windows 8, or that with a few tweaks, you can stay in the
traditional desktop view most of the time. But Windows 8 is built around
that tile-based UI, and for a good out-of-the-box experience, trying to
activate the Windows 8 Charms bar by swiping off the right side of the
touch pad just doesn't
Gaming performance was also excellent, and our dual-GPU configuration
(including the removable Ultrabay GPU) was correctly set up for SLI
performance out of the box. In the very challenging Metro 2033 test at
1,920x1,080, the Y500 ran at 15.0 frames per second, which is a
respectable score. In the more mainstream Just Cause 2, on medium/high
settings, it ran at 53.5 frames per second. You can feel confidant
running any current or upcoming game (such as BioShock Infinite) on this
system at the highest settings and a lower resolution, or the highest
resolution and medium-to-high settings.
As one might expect, battery life is not this system's strong suit.
Still, at exactly 3 hours on our video-playback battery drain test, it
hits a number we would have found perfectly acceptable from a 15-inch
midsize laptop a few years ago. Note that this battery test doesn't
really push the GPUs, so gaming with the power cord unplugged will no
doubt lead to much shorter battery life.
The
Dell Inspiron line has a fresh look. Targeting shoppers willing to
spend a little bit more for a premium design, the new Inspiron 15 7000
sports an uber-chic aluminum chassis, 15.6-inch touch screen and a
fourth-generation Intel processor, all for an alluring $699. Throw in
more than 9 hours of battery life, and there are plenty of reasons to
make this notebook your own.
Design
Sleek,
sexy and solid are just a few of the words that come to mind when
gazing at the Dell Inspiron 15 7000. The silvery aluminum lid has
gentle, rounded corners and is cool to the touch. The notebook's
minimalist interior is just as captivating, offering diamond-cut edges
around the deck and touchpad. A medium-size power button sits above the
keyboard in the upper left corner.
Despite its sleek looks, the 14.9 x 10 x 0.8~0.9-inch Inspiron 15 7000 is on the bulky side at 5.6 pounds. Compare that to the Acer Aspire V7-582P-6673 (15.02 x 10.08 x 0.79 inches) and the Toshiba Satellite P55t-A5202 (15.2 x 9.9 x 1.2 inches), which weigh 4.85 and 5.2 pounds, respectively.
Display
Measuring
139 lux on our light meter, the Inspiron 15's 15.6-inch, 1366 x 768
display isn't the brightest touch screen. It falls short of the 202
mainstream average and the Aspire V7's 165 lux. This panel does manage
to outshine the Toshiba P55t's 138 lux display.
Colors popped in
1080p "Machete Kills" trailer. Amber Heard's form-fitting red dress drew
the eye, as did Mel Gibson's piercing blue peepers. Too bad the viewing
angles are frustratingly narrow, inverting colors past 45 degrees.
The 10-point touch screen is fluid and responsive, allowing for smooth Windows 8 gestures and pinch-to-zooming.
Audio
The
Inspiron 15's pair of bottom-mounted speakers pack a wallop. Paired
with the Dell Audio software, the laptop filled our small test space
with loud, clear audio. Janet Jackson's "I Get Lonely" had rich deep
bass, clear piano chords and crisp snares -- all balanced against
Jackson's breathy vocals.
On our LAPTOP Audio Test, the Inspiron
15's speakers blasted out 84 decibels of sound, slightly below the 88 dB
mainstream average.
Keyboard and Touchpad
The
Inspiron 15 7000 offers a spacious backlit layout with a dedicated
number pad. Unfortunately, the keys don't offer enough travel, resulting
in a hollow and slightly uncomfortable typing experience. We managed to
hammer out 50 words per minute, missing our usual 55 wpm score.
The
4.2 x 3.2-inch touchpad is plenty large, giving our fingers lots of
space to perform gestures. We liked the way its slightly textured
surface felt against our fingers. Windows 8 gestures such as switching
between apps and summoning the Charms menu were nice and smooth.
Pinch-zoom, two-finger scroll and rotate, and three-finger swipe was
also easy to perform.
The bottom corners of the touchpad performed adequately as right and left mouse buttons, but delivered somewhat spongy feedback.
Heat
When
we ran the Laptop Heat Test (streaming a full-screen Hulu video for 15
minutes), the touchpad measured 79 degrees Fahrenheit. The space between
the G and H keys and the notebook's undercarriage both registered 86
degrees. However, the space beneath the laptop's main vent blew a hot 96
degrees, slightly above our 95-degree comfort threshold.
Webcam
We
found that the colors on the 720p webcam were a shade lighter than
reality, including our neon-green headphones. While we were able to make
out the knit pattern on our sweater, the picture was full of visual
noise. The end result was a photo with fuzzy, hazy edges and little
detail.
Ports
The
Inspiron 15 has an ample offering of ports, including a pair of USB 3.0
ports, HDMI, an 8-in-1 card reader, a headset jack and Ethernet on the
right. The left side of the notebook holds another pair of USB 3.0
ports, a secure lock slot and a jack for the power adapter.
Performance
The
Dell Inspiron 15 7000's 1.6-GHz Intel Core i5-4200U can handle a fair
amount of lifting. The notebook streamed "Event Horizon" full screen on
Netflix with eight open tabs in Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and
Google Chrome while running a system scan. The
Inspiron 15 scored 2,818 on the PCMark 7 benchmark, failing to meet the
3,250 mainstream average. The 1.6-GHz Intel Core i5-4200U-powered
Toshiba Satellite P55t and Acer Aspire V7 notched 3,208 and 4,266,
respectively.
The Inspiron 15's 750GB 5,400-rpm hard drive booted
Windows 8 in 10 seconds. That's faster than the 33-second average as
well as the P55t and Aspire V7's times of 18 and 14 seconds.
During
the File Transfer Test, the Inspiron 15 duplicated 4.97GB of multimedia
files in 2 minutes and 46 seconds. That's a transfer rate of 30.7 MBps,
which is faster than the P55t's 23MBps, but not enough to top the
44MBps average. The Aspire V7 was somewhat faster at 33 MBps.
At 5
minutes and 27 minutes, the Inspiron 15 performed slightly faster than
the 5:40 category average on the OpenOffice Spreadsheet Test. However,
both the Aspire V7 and the P55t edged it out, with 5:23 and 5:14,
respectively.
Graphics
The Dell Inspiron 15 7000's Intel HD Graphics 4400 GPU is good for streaming high-def video and playing some mainstream games. On
the 3DMark11 benchmark, the laptop scored 897, failing to match the
1,397 mainstream average. However, this showing was enough to top the
Toshiba Satellite P55t's Intel HD Graphics HD 4000 chip, which achieved
878. The Acer Aspire V7, with an Intel HD Graphics 4400 GPU, managed
958.
When we ran the "World of Warcraft" test, the Inspiron 15
registered a fairly smooth 43 fps on 1366 x 768 on autodetect. That's
well below the 75 fps average, but still above our 30 fps playability
threshold. The Aspire V7 notched 45 fps. The 1080p Satellite P55t hit 35
fps at 768p and 22 fps at its native resolution of 1080p.
After cranking the settings to maximum, the Inspiron 15's frame rate dropped to an unplayable 18 fps.
Battery Life
During
the Laptop Battery Test (continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi), the Dell
Inspiron 15 7000 lasted an impressive 9 hours and 26 minutes. That's
nearly 3 hours longer than the 6:31 mainstream average. The Acer Aspire
V7 delivered 8:13, while the Toshiba Satellite P55t posted a
below-average 5:32.
Software and Warranty
Thankfully,
there's virtually no bloatware on the Inspiron 15 7000, but Dell has
added a small suite of utilities. My Dell software, which encompasses
System Info, PC Checkup, Backup and Drivers and Downloads, keeps the
notebook up to date on the latest software. Dell's Backup and Recovery
software is also included.
In terms of third-party software, there's Amazon, eBay, Kindle and a 30-day free trial of McAfee Security Center.
The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 comes with 90 days of Premium Phone Support with one year of In-Home service after remote diagnosis.
Configurations
Our
$699 review unit features a 1.6-GHz Intel Core i5-4200U processor, 6GB
of RAM, a 750GB 5,400-rpm hard drive and an Intel HD Graphics 4400 GPU.
An $899 version has a 1.8-GHz Intel Core i7-4500U CPU with 8GB of RAM, a
1TB 5,400 hard drive and an Intel HD Graphics 4400 GPU.
Verdict
The
$699 Dell Inspiron 15 7000 offers an elegant aluminum design, a
responsive touch screen and impressive battery life. The notebook also
provides solid audio, graphics and overall performance. What prevents
this 15-incher from grabbing a higher rating is its shallow keyboard and
dimmer-than-average display.
For an additional $100, consumers
can get the $799 Acer Aspire V7 that offers better performance and a
brighter screen in a lighter, slimmer package. However, you'll be
sacrificing nearly an hour of battery life and a more attractive design.
Overall, the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 is a very good Windows 8 touch
laptop.

Here are some tips, some software and some hardware upgrade suggestions,
that will make your PC run a lot quicker than it did, before. And save
you money on unnecessary hardware upgrades.
It doesn't really matter if you buy the very latest hardware - powerful
processor, graphics card, a quick SSD and generous amounts of RAM, if
the operating system you are running is not optimized. Two factors that
usually lead to this slowdown are- a cluttered Windows 7 or Windows 8
installation, and the accumulation of clutter over a period of time. The
former is usually a major problem with a whole lot of new notebooks and
ultrabooks - the laptop manufacturers tend to clutter the installation
with a whole bunch of un-optimized trialware and free software. But,
whatever be the issue, we are here to help you get over the feeling of
unhappiness and possible buyer's remorse, and move towards an experience
of satisfaction over the performance from the PC.
Throw out what you don’t need
Here's a rule that applies to even stuff you have at home - throw out
what you don’t need. Create space and de-clutter the place. Replicate
the same rule for the PC as well, and consider the storage space as
similar to your actual living space. This happens with all of us - we
install programs and software on the PC over a period of time, which we
don’t regularly use. The simple rule is - if you haven’t used a software
in the last 60 days, take a backup of the installer file somewhere, and
uninstall. If unused programs were sitting silently somewhere on the
drive, it would be okay. But no, some will keep running processes in the
background and use up critical resources.
Stop the start-ups
Again, a problem that is caused by a combination of having too much
software installed and unoptimized installations. Certain applications,
Skype for example (nothing against Skype, just an example!)
automatically start every time you boot into the OS. Be it one, or be it
multiple such entries that may have crept in unchecked, but the more of
these programs starting up, the longer the boot times and the slower
the system performance post that. To manually choose what software
should run at start-up, do the following:
Click on Run (from start menu) or press Win+R -> type in msconfig -> Startup tab -> Uncheck all unnecessary entries
But do note that any entries related to
your drivers - graphics and audio, particularly, or the ones you suspect
may be, leave them enabled.
Take out the trash
A lot of temporary files accumulate up over time. The web browser cache,
fragments or left overs from a program you uninstalled or even a cache
from when you updated Windows the last time. Yes, you can use Windows’
own file cleaner utility from the control panel. But, we would recommend
the very popular third party app, CCleaner.
For starters, this allows you much finer control over what you want to
scan and delete. And also, the built-in startup manager and software
uninstaller utilities make this the one software for multiple tasks.
Find out what is hogging the RAM
There are times when you may notice that your system is running warmer
(and possibly even noisier) than usual. More often than not, people will
tell you simply to restart the system, when something like this
happens. But, that would just be a temporary solution. It is important
to identify the cause of this sudden load, if this keeps recurring at
regular intervals. Open the task manager, and go to the Performance -
Resource Monitor. Here, you will get a good idea of whether the CPU is
being utilized more than usual, the hard drive is the bottleneck or if
the RAM is being over-used. Once this is done, go to the Performance tab
to get an idea of how each program or system service is using the
system resources. If one of your installed programs is the problem,
it’ll show up here.
Deal with hard drive issues
Incorrect system shutdowns are usually the root cause of this issue, and
hard drive errors will throw up a potential stumbling block in certain
tasks. Use the Windows drive checking tool to identify, and repair, any
errors on the internal hard drive.
Go to My Computer (or This PC in
Windows 8.1) -> right click on the drive -> select properties
-> Tools tab -> Check drive.
Balance the security
It 's always good to be worried about the security of data on your PC,
and you should be willing to take steps in that regard. But, as with
most things in life, overdoing it is not the solution. Who we are
specifically pointing at are the people who run multiple anti-virus
solutions and security suites, in an attempt to overcompensate for the
perceived threat. Look, the fact is simple, if you aren’t a porn addict,
one anti-virus will be good enough. If you are, at least try not to
click on all those links flying around. Among the options, we would
recommend going with the pre-loaded solutions in Windows - Security
Essentials for Windows 7 and Defender for Windows 8. Among all the
available options, this one hogs system resources the least.
The steps that we have mentioned here are nothing extraordinary, just
regular maintenance tips Do these regularly, and you should have a PC or
laptop that runs smoothly, rather than having to pull your hair out
wondering if your PC is already outdated.
