Ive updated the FreeDown script , mainly added exception handling when something went wrong while fetching download Link.
Download New version here –
I was recently banned by rapidshare due to “Account Sharing“. It was actually due to my dynamic IP and me moving around using it from multiple places. Though they enabled my Account they warned me of further problems when using Dynamic IP are possible.
So here is a solution i made for myself it resides on one of the hosting servers so that my IP always remains one. It stream files to me from rapidshare , something like those premium link generators but simpler.
Here are the requirements –
- PHP 5
- CURL Enabled
- One Rapidhsare Premium Account
After Install Please fill up username and password in config.php .
Site has been restored back to original owners
I had built VideoSwiper long time back for Jason . You can read about it here http://www.ngcoders.com/php/videoswiper-mass-video-embedding-application, you can also check it out in my portfolio site.
But i have to come to learn that the hackers taking advantage of the holidays hacked the main server and have stolen the domain also. So basically now they are running a site which is a less featured clone on videoswiper.com . They reset all the accounts by redirecting the email which was admin[AT]videoswiper.com. Also they have the balls to say that the original owner is doing phishing 
. They also have stolen downloadMod.php code from my site Videoswiperplus and saying that they have written it.
I hope jason gets his sites back soon.

Hackers should be dealt swiftly , i did have a soft side for these guys when i was a kid. But now i think they should be treated like common criminals , and maybe some should be made an example out of to stop the damage they cause.
Lesson learned – Avoid having emails for hosting and other important accounts like email@yoursite.com , if yoursite.com DNS record gets hacked all emails are redirected by hackers to reset everything and you will never come to know what happened. I believe sites like gmail , yahoo are much safer in this case. Also keep diffrent password for every single account , atleast the important ones.
A lot of people asked and requested a theme for the Youtube download script on my site , So here is an upgrade to it. This is a simple script which allows you to run a small site around it. Something like a keepvid clone.
It also supports many more sites than the default Youtube which came with original site. Some of the new site are Metacafe , dailymotion , google video etc etc. Also has a small bookmarklet like keepvid.
Requirements –
- PHP 5
- file_get_contents enabled
- Curl enabled

If you have one of the Netbooks which has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500 (GMA 500) then you cant play old games like Age of Empires 2, Diablo, Warcraft , Starcraft etc due to direct draw/OpenGL issues with the default driver. The Default driver is really bad and buggy.
So here is a driver which will allow you to play these games and more on your netbook. Its just that i still play AOE i had to find a solution and not disable GMA 500 to play it.
This applies to most 11.6″ notebooks being powered by GMA 500. Some examples are Acer Aspire One 751,Asus Eee PC 1101HA,Benq Joybook Lite U121 Eco,Dell Inspiron 11z, MSI Wind U115 etc etc . For a complete list visit http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-500-GMA-500.12614.0.html.
PS: GMA 500 is a really underpowered Video Chipset, With Drivers which make it even worse. Avoid it at all costs.
Currently i am working on a ARM9 based platform and found out that in India its really hard to get by ARM9 which is above 500 Mhz and costs < Rs 10k. ARM7 TDMI is whats easily available and after having some fun with it , it was found to be highly underpowered.
So if anyone looking for a ARM9 Based Platform in India get a Beagle Board ... Its what i call Awesome for the price and performance. To get it you can go through either Indian vendors who overcharge and fleece as usual or Get it from Sparkfun(Awesome Service) where i got it from. Digikey also sells it but charges a hell of a lot of shipping. So if you are looking around source from US and dont waste time like i did looking locally and getting frustrated.
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9444
149 USD + 9 USD USPS = 160 USD ( approx Rs 7500 as of the time of posting ). The cables , SD card etc all can be bought for < Rs 500 locally.
While Indian vendors like Cranes etc are charging like Rs 13000. Why dont we have shops like spark fun in India .
You can also buy from IDA Systems for Rs 9000 http://www.idasystems.net/beagle_board.
Here is something which might be useful to people who program Ardunio not using the IDE , like me. I use AVG GCC to develop code and use this to upload to Arduino.
Some features over the default Gui available on the Arduino.cc site.
- AutoReset – RTS AND DTR are reset ( No more pressing reset )
- AutoDetect Arduino when connected and removed ( USB COM port )
- Remembers Last Settings
- Very easy to use
Any Bugs or features you find or want let me know…
Here is a Arduino Boot loader for ATMega8 with about 2 Second Reset Timeout ( Since all boards now support autoreset ) . Well the source code comes with arduino but you have to use a gcc < 4.0 to get it compiled under 1 KB.
Some how i found it a headache to compile under windows , so here is the compiled version so that you dont have to go though that.
So you can just download here …
External Crystal 16 Mhz , 2 Second Timeout with 19200 as Baud.
