JDownloader is a free java-based program that completely automates the process of downloading files from popular file sharing sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload ect…
The problem with most file sharing sites is that the free accounts have a limit on the amount to data you can download and additionally it requires you to wait for a certain period of time before downloading the files. JDownloader is a beautiful application that automates the process making it possible for you to schedule downloads and even queue files to be downloaded.
JDownloader works on Windows/Mac/Linux and is simple to get started with.
So if you like to download a lot of files from file sharing sites then give JDownloader a try…

Heard a lot of wonderful reviews of the latest firefox? Want to try it out on your Ubuntu box?
Well unfortunately Ubuntu does not update its Firefox packages immediately after the release. To give a good test run for the latest and best you need to add the repository for the latest release of firefox. The steps are explained below:
Recently while compiling some programs I received an unique error message:
c++: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report.
Even compiling a simple Hello World program gave the same error.
To fix the problem I needed to use a program called debsums on Ubuntu. debsums is a program used to check the MD5 checksums of your installed deb packages. You can install it using the command:
sudo apt-get install debsums
and run it using the command:
debsums | grep -v OK
The above command lists all the packages which have not been installed correctly. If the following line is present in the output:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.4/cc1plus FAILED
then all you need to do to fix your system is the following command:
sudo apt-get –reinstall install g++-4.4
Now when you compile your code the earlier error shouldn’t appear.
