How to download content from recently blocked Torrent Sites

Hi Friends,

                 Those using torrents to download audio,video or any other type of files have been seeing this page a lot.
                " The site has been blocked as per the instructions of Competent Authority"


This is the result of a recent court order by the Madras high court order blocking acess to many leading torrent sites like The Pirate Bay, Torrent Rector, ISo Hunt and many more.Injuction from the court was obtained from a film industry outfit in Chennai seeking protection agains copyright violations of the Tamil film '3'.


This unfair blanket blocking of sites has prevented users of torrent sites to download legitimate content.


Well i have good news for you. You can bypass this by using proxy server sites. These websites are usually used to access blocked websites and to prevent hackers or spammers to access your information.


Here are a few proxy sites which i have tried out.







There are a host of proxy sites which you can try out on your own.



Please Note:Its illegal to download some of the content on the torrent sites in most countries due to copyright restrictions.These sites should only be used to download content that is free for all and does not hold any copyright.

Great Auto Back up Software for you valuable data

Hi Friends,
Backing up your data is something which we would like to do ,but something which we don't end up doing. And even if we do we don't back up regularly enough.I think its because of time it takes for a backup,most backup softwares takes backup of files that have already been backed up, again increasing backup time. 
Second copy is a software which takes care of this issue and plus gives you additional features giving you complete control of your backup process.
                 I have been using second copy to back up my data on my backup disk for almost a year now. I started doing this as safety measure in the event my laptop decides to bail on me.
This software has a variety of features.
1.Can be configured to take backup only if File has been edited or changed in any manner.

2.Files already backed up are skipped reducing backup time.

3.Easy installation and easy to use.

4. Allow to keep previous version of your files in a separate folder.

5. Allows you to sync your source folder with your destination folder.

6. Allows you to filter files from being backed up. For example you can choose to skip executable files from being backed up i.e .exe files.

I found this a hassle free way of backing up your data once you are done setting up the back up process. I would recommend this software to everyone.

You can download the trial version on this link:http://www.secondcopy.com/.

Do share your feedback.

Our First Video Interview


We visited the corporate office of  excel crop care on the the 27th December, 2011 around 5 o’clock in the evening. The purpose of our visit to find out in detail about the origins of the company, their business process and the role of IT in the growth of the company.

Excel crop care is more than a 60 year old company which manufactures insecticides, wedicides, fumigants and soil health and bio products.

The video interview was taken in the impressive IT enabled board room. The room had options of setting various lighting conditions. This could be done by a control unit in the room with touch screen controls. The room was equipped with a high end audio system. The walls of the room were sound proof which gave excellent acoustics.

Mr. Pillai the IT head explained to us the the beginning of their website and their future plans for it.They intended the current static website to be revamped into a database driven website which gave control to them to update the site on a more regular basis. They also were going to list their products on their website in the future.

He also explained to us how their data is backed up. They have 2 servers, one situated at their corporate office which we visited and the other at Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge Centre (DKAC). He explained that DKAC was a Tier IV data centre which had all the redundancies like temperature control, automatic backups built in for their data to be secure.

Mr. Shroff the Managing Director explained to us one of the CSR activities undertaken by the company. ‘Shrujan’ is one such programme which trained the Kutchi women of Gujarat in the art of embroidery. With this initiative this art has now become commercial allowing the women in the area to earn a decent living.
Mr. Shroff was of the opinion that IT has played a significant role in the growth of their business, but he also mentioned that IT services can be used to help the business but benefits can be gained only if the business manager knows how to make use of the services.

On the whole the entire process of the interview was very interesting and enlightening thanks to the people we spoke to.
