A most convenient way to download Torrents!

I am sure most of us, at some point of time, have tried downloading a file from a torrent website. For those of you who are new to the term “torrent”, please visit here to know more and feel free to come back to this post. Initially, we were required to download files from the torrent network through a torrent client software. That means, we needed a software installed in our computer that would download the required files for us. Since torrent is a peer to peer network, the download speeds can be really low sometimes, because of lack of seeders. Also, your internet connection could be a blocker.

But now, some cloud based torrent client services have come up. One of the best among the is Seedr. With Seedr, you can simply upload a *.torrent file you found on one of the torrent sites and let Seedr do the job for you. To make things even simpler, you can even give just the magnet link of the torrent file to this life saver. Seedr downloads the desired file(s) to its servers. From there, you can download it like any normal file. Morever, Seedr also enables you to stream compatible content. Hence, at times, you could just stream your video from Seedr and save the trouble of downloading and overloading your storage device.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up for a Seedr account today!

Such a wonderful service must come with costs. But guess what? Seedr, besides its premium plans, has a free plan too! Sign up with this link (https://www.seedr.cc/?r=179077) to get an extra 500 MB space extension on your free account. Seedr is one of the fastest and the easiest way to torrenting. Watch this video for a brief introduction. You can also go through the help section to get more information on Seedr.

infocuswhite-a9a1c3-7d244
InFocus is an American company which has launched a new phone M2 in India via Snapdeal.com. The stocks are limited so you need to hurry up if you really want to grab an M2. This post would help you understand whether you want one or not.


The following are the specifications for the InFocus M2 which is currently available for Rs. 4999 on snapdeal!
InFocus M2 specifications:

Compare for yourselves:

I think the phone has pretty dominating features on paper. I am sure using the phone would be fun too. After having a look at the specs, now let us analyze the pros and cons of the phone.

Pros:

  • +1 for selfie addicts. The phone has an 8MP front camera that too with flash!
  • Display appears to be quite impressive.
  • A 1GB RAM at this price range is a real thumbs up.
  • Processor is powerful. Not very powerful but sufficiently powerful for a smooth mobile UI experience.
  • The phone is super cool for a buy. You can’t get such awesome specs at this price range!

Cons:

  • Some may find the screen size to be small (4.2”).
  • M2 runs a custom UI. This might eat up some extra RAM and you may not like it.
  • Both the slots for SIM cards are ones for micro SIM cards. Though that’s not an issue. Some of you (like me) may not like it.

Verdict:

The phone is worth a try. With the kind of specs it has, the cons may easily be overlooked. Unless screen size really matters to you, I don’t think you would have any reasons to turn down this phone.

Clash of The Titans: Snapdeal vs. Amazon vs. Flipkart

Technology is advancing us into an age where almost everything is going to be digital. Everything from buying and selling property to online entrance exams to online counseling of students to help them choose the best option available to them. All these things are happening online and more are on their way to follow suit. In my blog, I am going to discuss and review products available on online shopping sites and my reviews would be focused on electronic products e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, data storage devices, etc. In India, we have a number of online shopping sites who have made it big into the market. Let us talk about the three most popular and successful online shopping sites in India, viz., snapdeal.com, flipkart.com and amazon.in.

1. Snapdeal.com

Snapdeal.com was founded in February,2010. Since then, it has never looked back and has went on to become one of the largest online stores in India. This site was my personal favorite for a long time. It has a huge variety of products and that too at crazy prices. The website boasts of having over 4 million products over a wide variety provided by over 50,000 sellers. Those figures surely will convince you that snapdeal.com is no minnow in the world of online retailing.

Pros:

  • Great deals
  • Often provide the commodity at the lowest price in the market.
  • Huge variety of commodities.
  • Lots of options to choose from.

Cons:

  • Do not have a speedy delivery service.
  • Frequency of user complaints regarding damaged product delivery is highest among the three. (Personally, I ordered products on snapdeal.com dozens of times and am yet to receive a damaged product).

 

2. Amazon.in

I don’t need to say this. Amazon is a global giant. In June, 2013 Amazon launched amazon.in, which in today’s date has become one of the biggest players in the Indian online retailing business. Amazon launched its subsidiary in India with a $2 billion investment that has served it right. After all, the name Amazon is synonymous to trust when one wants to order something online. It is because of this trust that Amazon has been a huge success even without a major marketing campaign.

Pros:

  • Choose amazon.in if you want a speedy delivery.
  • You can choose from a wide range of “Amazon Verified” products which give an assurance of quality like no other web store.
  • Great variety of products at great prices.

Cons:

  • The amazon.in website is not as interactive and fluid as its competitors.

 

3. Flipkart.com

Flipkart.com is an e-commerce company started in 2007. It has since then become a huge online retail site and is cited by some as the largest e-commerce website in India. It has its headquarters in Bangalore but was registered in Singapore. With a valuation at around $12 billion, this company looks all set to become a global name in the not so far future.

Pros:

  • Some products are launched exclusively on flipkart.com.
  • Probably the widest variety of products among the three.
  • On-time delivery.

Cons:

  • Tends  to be slightly more expensive than the other two.
