Two Extensions that you won’t need with Firefox 3
Mozilla has a history of integrating extra features in every new release of their browsers that would require separate extensions to run, they did it with FireFox 2 and they now did same with FireFox 3 by adding few features that some popular add-on used to provide to the users, here are those two extensions and the features these extensions provide:
Autocomplete Manager- when you type something in the address bar this extension shows related entries from your bookmarks but now FireFox developers have added this feature by default in FireFox 3
Download Statusbar- this extension automatically hides the download window to the status bar of FireFox and shows the download status in the status bar
Extract multiple archives at once using Winrar with just few clicks
If you download applications from torrents you must have seen applications packed in multiple archives with file names like filename01, filename02 and so on ,it is very hard to extract those archives one by one in one folder which I personally used to do, but few days ago I downloaded an application from torrent with a size of 187 Mb and had 38 multiple archives, so I thought that there must be some way to extract all archive at once in one folder and fortunately I found it, I just selected all the archives in explorer and right clicked them and in the right click explorer menu that appeared there were few Winrar extracting operations that I could do:
1. “extract files (this opens a Winrar windows where you can select the directory for extracting files and few other options)
2. “extract here” (this will immediately start extracting the files contained in those split archives to a sub folder named same as your archive name)
3. “extract each archive to different folder” (this will extract all the split archive to different folders with folder name same as the split archive name, this is not what you want to do )
4. “extract to “archive name” (this will extract all the split archive to one folder with the name same as the archive name)
You can use any of the above four feature to your liking, I personally used the first feature to extract the files to the folder I wanted

Rapidshare Increases Download Limit For Premium Users
Rapidshare yesterday changed their website design and along with that they also increased the download limit for premium users which earlier was 25 GB per five day and has been now updated to 50 GB per five days which comes as good news for many premium account holders after their account were limited to counter website which used to offer free users to download like premium users giving them direct links to the download created using premium accounts.
In my opinion if they want to limit the accounts then rthey should introduce data based packages instead of the current time based packages which will be much more convenient for the customers as in the current scenario even if one doesn’t downloads from rapidshare his account gets expired in the given time, and when the amount of download is already limited it wont be a problem for the customers, as theoretically in a month account one can only download 50*6=300 GB of data per month so they should offer 300 GB of downloads for the same price as the 1 month account and let users download to their own convenience.
what do you guys think about this? leave a comment to let me know!

Rapidshare’s new Design
Today when I visited RapidShare I was greeted by a new design, which is way better than the previous design, there are many changes in the new design, the previous header image sucked but now there is no header image instead there is a RapidShare logo in the middle and they have added few new features including one feature using which you can upload multiple files at the same time but the biggest downfall about that feature is that you can’t select files with combined size of more than 100 MB which destroys the whole purpose of this feature as one would rather put the files in an archive and upload it as a single file.
But the problem here is that the old design returns when you log in to your premium account!
Now I hope they change their stupid captcha too!
