How to restrict computer access and usage
Posted on July 4, 2008 at 5:19 am
Generally, I leave my computer off when I’m not using it. A lot of people like to leave their computers on, but that’s usually because they’re leaving something to upload to Megaupload, or they’re downloading big files. But I never really download huge files, so I just conserve the electricity.
But, last weekend, I had my sister’s children come to my house. Unsurprisingly, they rushed to my computer, looking for games to play and what not. So, I began looking for ways to prevent them from damaging my computer, because god knows what they could have been doing.

Let’s be honest. If a software tool of any type and caliber has a recorded number of downloads, from Download.com, in the hundreds of millions (yes, hundreds of millions), then the software creator is doing something right. Ok, that was an understatement.
This level of downloads means they are in the type of distribution that is expected from companies like Microsoft, Symantec, and other large scale software producers.

How to download files faster with GetRight
Posted on July 2, 2008 at 5:34 am
Downloading freaks like me often need to download large files. We all know that downloading large files (i.e. installers and movie files more than 10Mb) depending on your Internet speed is a lot of hassle especially when you are always on the go.
Shutting down computer or hibernating could break your Internet connection and break the download requiring you to restart the whole download process!
This type of issue is easily solved by a download software like GetRight.
