A day without SPAM

April 10th, 2011 No comments

Well I am one of those guys who get tons of mails everyday, but the main problem in my case is that I use to get many SPAM mails everyday. Well I thinks most of us have the same problem.
But today a miracle had happen its 11.26pm here and I have not received even a single unsolicited mail yet. And since its about half an hour left for the end of the day, I believe k wont get any more mails now. So I can confidently say that today is the day when I got not even a single spam mail in my inbox or even if I do its either trapped by Gmails spam assassin or has been automatically deleted by my own spam filtering method.
But what I want to share today is that why do we get spam mails and how to avoid it. If I start from scratch spam mail are basically promotional mails that we all receive everyday every-time, one good thought here is why do we get all such stuff? A one liner answer to this is because we all give our mail ids very easily to anyone and anywhere in the Internet and email spamming is considered as best and cheapest method to drive traffic on a website. Be cautious as spam mails contains various tricks like spoofing, phishing and spreading virus on your systems.
Although spamming is now considered as a very poor technique of website marketing (due to the great efforts done by Gmail/Yahoo/MS guys which makes them ineffective) still many folks try the same method to gather audience.
Well all I can say is follow these simple steps to make sure you wont get spammed anymore:
1) Create two email ids, one for handling your personal mails and other for giving it to websites all over the internet. Remember internet is a way good technology and you have to give your email ids for correspondence, separating personal mails and mails used for correspondence/contact purpose is a very nice method for managing your emails and is less irritating. One thing to consider is that every site won’t send you spam mails, only few will do. So don’t think that you should not give your email id to anyone.
2) Always mark spam to mails that are spam rather than just ignoring it, believe me you wont get at-least that kind of mail ever. And this will also block the source.
3) If you have your own domain or if you are planning to get one, make your mail id like [email protected] or [email protected], mails like this do not get even a single spam mail.
4) If you are publishing your email to your blog or any forum do write it like this yourmail [at] gmail [dot] com. This will avoid spam bots from capturing your mail. You may use your own method of writing your email on a forum page by editing the method given above.

And ya do change your password every 2 weeks and make it alphanumeric and add few special symbols to the same.

Why use RapidLeech?

May 21st, 2010 1 comment

Well many people have asked me that what RapidLeech is and what exactly it is used for. Well in this post I will explain the needs of RapidLeech and its sources.

Well I would assume that everyone know about sites like rapidshare and megaupload (well those who don’t know, they are actually file sharing websites, mainly used to spread a file with everyone, rather spreading piracy, I don’t say spread piracy, but you like pirated products I would recommend you to buy it, as a lot of efforts is given for its creation).

Now each file sharing site usually wants you to first visit their website, check out their ads, wait a lot and then download the file, as it is obvious no-one would like you to leech their bandwidth without any income. And in the meantime they would force you to try the premium account which would ultimately cost you.

For over coming these problems RapidLeech developers created a script known as “rapidleech”. These scripts are basically the programs that bypass the barriers created by a file sharing site (by basically finding loopholes) and then letting you download the files to your systems (usually servers as they have higher bandwidth), ultimately resulting in giving you direct links that doesn’t need any problems like waiting time and you can even pause your download and start them later on. Therefore you are not at all communicating with the rapidshare (or any other file sharing site) directly, rather indirectly as you will download files from the rapidleech server(which doesn’t have restrictions like waiting time and pause restriction).

One of a good server is even hosted by MyWebStay.com here, it has five servers so that you may download many files simultaneously.

Now HOW TO GET MAXIMUM OUT OF RAPIDLEECH

Suppose if you want to want to download a stuff that requires download of many files, take for example file1, file2, file3, file4, file5, file6. What you need to do is, download the first file (i.e. file1) from your computer directly, and in the meantime use rapidleech to download files to the MyWebStay.com’s server (link here). What you need to do is simply select Server1 there and put file2, then select server2 and put file3, server3 with file4, and so on.

As rapidshare (and many other file sharing sites) have some restriction of IP, many servers will help in downloading the files simultaneously due to the fact that each server has different IP.

I would recommend that you should use MegaUpload instead of RapidShare, because in my opinion its far better than RapidShare when used with rapidleech.
