uTorrent Search Engines Mega List

uTorrent Search Engines Mega List.

The default search engines that come with uTorrent is pretty lame. I have compiled a mega list of search engines that I use in my uTorrent configuration. The list consists of 20+ search engines that you can use to search for torrents directly from within uTorrent instead of visiting the sites manually. I have moved inactive/dead engines to the bottom of the list but kept them for archive purposes.

Wherever possible, I have included the parameters to sort the list of results by descending number of seeds. If you know any more parameters to optimise any of the entries or any additional search engines please post them in this topic for the benefit of everyone. The current sorting of the list is based on my preferences, you can change it around to suit yourself. You can also leave out the last section as those are either inactive or ones I can't get working again.

Instructions:
1. Open uTorrent Preferences.
2. Expand the Advanced options on the left and click on "UI Extras".
3. Optionally you may want to delete all your currently listed search engines.
4. Copy the list as-is and paste it into the box for search engines.
5. Click OK and enjoy.

Saved Password Location

Many people ask about the location in the Registry or file system that applications store the passwords. Here is a list of password storage locations for popular applications compiled by Nir Sofer.
Be aware that even if you know the location of the saved password, it doesn�t mean that you can move it from one computer to another. many applications store the passwords in a way that you prevent from moving them to another computer or user profile.

• Internet Explorer 4.00 � 6.00: The passwords are stored in a secret location in the Registry known as the �Protected Storage�.
  The base key of the Protected Storage is located under the following key:
  �HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider�.
  You can browse the above key in the Registry Editor (RegEdit), but you won�t be able to watch the passwords, because they are encrypted.
  Also, this key cannot easily moved from one computer to another, like you do with regular Registry keys.
• Internet Explorer 7.00 � 8.00: The new versions of Internet Explorer stores the passwords in 2 different locations.
  AutoComplete passwords are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms\Storage2.
  HTTP Authentication passwords are stored in the Credentials file under Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Credentials , together with login passwords of LAN computers and other passwords.
• Firefox: The passwords are stored in one of the following filenames: signons.txt, signons2.txt, and signons3.txt (depends on Firefox version)
  These password files are located inside the profile folder of Firefox, in [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Profile Name]
  Also, key3.db, located in the same folder, is used for encryption/decription of the passwords.
• Google Chrome Web browser: The passwords are stored in [Windows Profile]\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Data
  (This filename is SQLite database which contains encrypted passwords and other stuff)
• Opera: The passwords are stored in wand.dat filename, located under [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile
• Outlook Express (All Versions): The POP3/SMTP/IMAP passwords Outlook Express are also stored in the Protected Storage, like the passwords of old versions of Internet Explorer.
• Outlook 98/2000: Old versions of Outlook stored the POP3/SMTP/IMAP passwords in the Protected Storage, like the passwords of old versions of Internet Explorer.
• Outlook 2002-2008: All new versions of Outlook store the passwords in the same Registry key of the account settings.
  The accounts are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\[Profile Name]\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676\[Account Index]
  If you use Outlook to connect an account on Exchange server, the password is stored in the Credentials file, together with login passwords of LAN computers.
• Windows Live Mail: All account settings, including the encrypted passwords, are stored in [Windows Profile]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\[Account Name]
  The account filename is an xml file with .oeaccount extension.
• ThunderBird: The password file is located under [Windows Profile]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\[Profile Name]
  You should search a filename with .s extension.
• Google Talk: All account settings, including the encrypted passwords, are stored in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk\Accounts\[Account Name]

  3. In the Credentials file, with entry named as �Passport.Net\\*�. (Only when the OS is XP or more)
• MSN Messenger version 7.x: The passwords are stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\C reds\[Account Name]
• Windows Live Messenger version 8.x/9.x: The passwords are stored in the Credentials file, with entry name begins with �WindowsLive:name=�.
• Yahoo Messenger 6.x: The password is stored in the Registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager
  (�EOptions string� value)

Windows 8 New File System

What is Microsoft workin on? What changes can we expect in Windows 8? I suppose every Windows 8 fan is asking those questions nowadays. There aren’t many news, but there are some hints here and there!

If you compare the performance of filesystems of the major operating systems, you will quickly realize that Windows 7 is not doing very well:

I found this at FlexSense.com, it clearly underlines that Microsoft got a lot of work to do! No wonder that they have 9 teams working on file management and file access ONLY.

Quoted from ZDNET:

And of the 12 working groups created, “eight or nine revolve around management.

Windows 8 Improvements

The core engine of Windows 8 will have security and performance improvements.

For the upcoming version of Windows, new critical features are being worked on including cluster support and support for one way replication. The core engine is also being reworked to provide dramatic performance improvements. We will also soon be starting major improvements for Windows 8 where we will be including innovative features which will revolutionize file access in branch offices.”

Windows 8 New File System Not Confirmed Yet

Microsoft is working on a new file system, an improved DSFR (Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) storage file system), according to ZDNet.

Although Microsoft is hiring people to work on DFSR (the new filesystem) codenamewindows.com reported that the new file system has not been confirmed yet:

But there’s no way to tell yet if Microsoft will start the actual work on the DFSR (Distributed File System Replication ) file replication engine in Windows 8, or if the features will debut into the planning stage

Windows 8 Server Edition Job Postings

Because it’s a bit confusing I want to underline that the following job posting is for Windows 8 Server. The improvements mentioned above are considered for Windows 8.

“In Windows Server 2008 R2 release, the Server UX Test team (under the File Server Management organization) is finalizing the MMC [Microsoft Management Console] based User eXperience (UX)/Interfaces for the File Server Role. Currently the team owns DFS [Distributed File System] Management, Share and Storage Management, FSRM [File Server Resource Manager] & Classification UI, Disk Management, SMFS. For Windows 8, the SSD organization is working on the next version of the file server.

“As the team moved to Windows 8, you will have 2 main responsibilities – (i) put on the customer/design critique hat as we plan our next version file server management experience (i) participating in the architectural design, and development and driving automated testing for managing the next generation file server. Our current automation does not meet the multi-machine paradigm requirement and so you will contribute significantly in the development of test automation to validate setup/configuration of the new server, managing configuration changes, performing diagnostics and reporting using Power Shell, Command line, Object Model, UI.”
