How do Bit Torrents Work? BitTorrent is a protocol that enables fast downloading of large files using minimum Internet bandwidth. It costs nothing to use and includes no spyware or pop-up advertising. Unlike other download methods, BitTorrent maximizes transfer speed by gathering pieces of the file you want and downloading these pieces simultaneously from people who already have them. This has to be understood while understanding three download processes 1.       Traditional Client-Server Downloading ·          You open a Web page and click a link to download a file to your computer. The Web browser software on your computer (the client ) tells the server (a central computer that holds the Web page and the file you want to download) to transfer a copy of the file to your computer.

With USD 500 million coming from Goldman Sachs, and in becoming the first website to go ahead of google on US charts , facebook is rocking these days. Zuckerberg's master piece has converted the IAD into FAD, the facebook addict disorder, people getting crazy about it, with all brackets falling into the category, on one side where we have kids, students into it, the other side includes corporates and biggies using facebook as a daily food. Facebook in 2010 surpassed the gigantic Google as the most visited website in the US, registering 8.9% of all US web visits between January and November 2010, according to New York-based Internet tracker Experian Hitwise.

Indians have already joined the elite list of countries to announce a policy for third generation mobile service that will enable customers to enjoy voice, video, data and downloading facilities on their mobile phones. INDIA has 60 Mhz of 3G spectrum available. The auction will take place in the 2.1 Ghz band. The government has set a base price of Rs 2,020 crore (Rs 20.20 billion) for each bid for a pan-India license. Initially, there will be three to five operators to sell the 3G services, including state-run BSNL and MTNL. The state-run telecom firms have an edge to start the 3G services earlier than others as they do not have to bid for the spectrum as they only have to match the highest bid in their respective circles. The plan: There is no firm date set for the auction of 3G spectrum, but it is likely to take place before February 2009 since the government may need the money to keep its deficit within control current estimates put the initial entry fee bids that the government wi...
