DownThemAll! & DownloadHelper

If u use ur browser to watch youtube videos & didn't hear about 'DownThemAll!' & 'DownloadHelper', then ur missing out a lot! DownThemAll! a great add-on that downloads anything,from videos to pdfs, at speeds better than other downloading add-ons like realplayer,etc. DownloadHelper works similar to other add-ons but slight variations. When these two are used in conjunction, results are pretty yielding!
To download a video (in youtube, say) go the link & DownloadHelper gets activated. Save the file & Downloads window gets opened to start saving the file.Immediately right-click to Copy Download Link. The download can now be cancelled. Open DownThemAll! & add the copied URL to it. Thats it! Bulky Downloads can be made easily by this method. Chow, for now!

The system identity crisis

Windows XP---Recently , I had this problem using the LAN saying " A duplicate name exists on this Network".
I was fed-up with it showing up on booting. I even doubted if this made my downloads slow, because there is another computer with the same name on the network(if any one know about this , please comment) . So I tried to solve it. I googled to know how I could change my system name.
Go to Control Panel>> System>> Computer Name tab>> change.. change the computer name there to something you are sure cant be used by others & oohlala... you will not get this message again.
Post any tech problems which seem to bother you.Its actually the very small problems, that we try to ignore , the ones to increase our knowledge.

Technology is like a person.You can never understand its various aspects fully.There is always something to know, something to find out , something to create. This blog is created to make myself (& others too) acquainted with this enigmatic persona called Technology.
