Improve your Video Streaming Experience

I’ve found the program called “Speedbit Video Accelator“. It supports the following video networks:

How it’s works?

With SpeedBit Video Accelerator installed, your browser’s connection to specific streaming video server is being rerouted through the Video Accelerator Daemon. Unlike the normal browser connection, the Daemon uses a unique patent pending technology, that substitutes the single connection with a sophisticated multi-connection algorithm. The end result is an (up to) 5 times faster connection, which handles the cache buffering (the “preloading” of the movie) much more efficiently.

BtN’s Tips : Even though they don’t disclose their technology, I’ve observed that this program makes several connection to the video that you’re playing. For my case, without this program, I can see only three connections to dailymotion, but after using this program, it makes 8 connections. By this way, it accelerates the video. So, if your connection is dialup, using this program won’t make any difference.

Newer isn’t always better. If you prefer some functions of your old version software and found that official web sites only had the latest version of the software up for download, don’t sigh yet.

There is OldVersion.com and OldApps.com for you. Both these sites have a huge collection of previous releases of most famous applications.

Warnings: If you use older versions, you may expose yourself to security risks that’ve already been fixed in newer versions.

Well,

I just found out this very cool firefox plugin, that I can’t surf without it anymore. After using that adblockplus plugin, your Yahoo mail will look like Yahoo mail plus, without annoying graphical ads anymore. Your favourite blog will be really ads-free.

The hot debates are “Is this ethical?”, “Are we killing the goose?”, blah, blah, blah

But the answer is that actually, Adblock Plus gives the user control. If you want to view google ads, don’t filter them.

If you got annoy with chitika ads on my blog, just install that plugin and boom, you can browse Bridge to Nova for ads-free. Trust me, I don’t mind. Why?
Guess what, if you got really annonyed by ads on the internet and you love to use this software, maybe you aren’t the guy ads company are targeting. It is as simple as that.
