Convert Torrent To Direct Download

With files getting bigger and bigger at this point in time, downloading a single file with a size of at least 700 MB (such as an operating system, a program, or an app data update), will already consume your time and will get you frustrated only to find out that the download session expired. (Who hasn't been there?) So you divert to downloading via torrent app for its ability to resume. But it will take several hours or even days if the seed count is low. In addition to that and as a personal rant, I am living in a country where internet is priced sky high and providers don't give a shit about a good service! I mean, "unlimited" promos until they warn you with nonsense reaching a certain limit. Fortunately, there are web tools and services out there that can give back the hope to getting your beloved files immediately, and alternatively converting torrent into direct download. I've been trying out a few of them and here are the ones that stood out:

FileStream.me

Free account will only give you a maximum of 300 MB file size per download from other sites and a 300 GB cloud storage space. But you will get more (such as 10 GB file size) when you subscribe to their annual premium which is well worth your money! I've paid $42 for a Silver annual and been using it for about 6 months now and I've never had a single problem. They have a mobile app that can monitor your clipboard for links like a magnet. 😉 And you can download an entire folder as .zip which will probably save a few MBs for your bandwidth. Link with promo code is here. Or if you want to check their pricing first and compare features, go here, and use "weie4qi7jo" upon signing up when asked for a promo code. Silver is like the goldilocks promo... Just right.

  pCloud.com

"A cloud storage based on Switzerland founded in 2013 with a comprehensive easy-to-use cloud storage solution for individuals and businesses alike." I like this one because it can also download files from other sites. A Free account could benefit you with a 2 GB cloud storage just like its competitor, Dropbox, and you can add more space by doing some tasks which could end up with a total of 20 GB. Also, there's no file size limit. I think this is a better deal. They even have a demo about upload speeds between them and Dropbox. You might want to check that out and be impressed. They boast a "crypto" folder feature that has a separate pricing and assures you of zero-knowledge which means only you alone have access to it. But I'm already contented with the Premium plan and honestly, I can't afford their crypto pricing. They have preset plans but you have the ability to customize it. Link with special offer is here which will get you to a page similar with the image above. Signing up on their normal page will not give you that premium trial offer. You decide.

UCBrowser

Now that you don't have to worry about your large files, you can effortlessly download them with this browser. It previously had a feature called UDisk that offered 6GB cloud storage for temporary download but was suspended for some reasons. Although its latest updates don't have that anymore, it's still a good browser. It has resume function and I don't know how they do it but upload and download speeds are better than with other browsers. And it effectively blocks ads so you will not get distracted and just focus on downloading what you intend to.

Manage your files with those 3 services and never worry about slow downloads anymore. By the way, I only added the browser for faster downloads. Both cloud services have stream capability and their interfaces are neat.

If this has helped you in anyway and would like to use those services, I'd appreciate if you use the links given above.

More-y X(cess)much!

ex·cess [ikˈses,ˈekses] noun
1. an amount of something that is more than necessary, permitted, or desirable.

Whoever thought of "The more, the merrier." is probably a business person persuading you that your something is not enough to impress people you don't know.

Woken Up By A Coffee Maker

Coffee Maker. It was number three in my wishlist for our office department's Christmas party. My list also had a Jenga Blocks, which is number one, and 3 boxes with 25 bags each of Steuwart's Pure Green Tea. Came the night of our party and I was surprised because my Japanese manager picked me and he bought me this coffee maker for 10-12 cups. It was big. Was I happy? Er... kinda? I was hoping for the Jenga Blocks because I already imagined myself having fun playing it with my siblings and nephews. Coffee maker... well I just added it on my list because I can't think of anything else and it's number three on the list so I thought my picker would prioritize the number one. Our wishlist items should only be around 500php but he said it is less than 1000php. I insisted on paying the additional amount but he insisted on saying "Don't mind it (because it's Christmas)."
Fine.

I already have this french press container that Dan bought me because he knows I (we) love coffee. It's simple to use. Just put the right amount of coffee grounds, put boiling water, stir a bit, then press the lid to filter the grounds and set them at the bottom. Voila! Coffee! Though there will be little debris of grounds when I drink, I just usually let them sink and then I drink slowly. It's also easy to clean. Just swish it with water and it's ready for another round.

This morning, I've decided to try the coffee maker because it's oh-so-fancy! I checked how much power it "needs": 800W. I calculated its consumption rate based on a formula and found out that it costs 8php/hr. I've also read the manual for first time use (water only). Then when it was ready, I got excited putting my coffee grounds and pouring the right amount of water. I watched it as it made whirring and sucking and dripping sounds. After a few minutes, my coffee is done. I added sugar and creamer and started savoring it.

Aaaaahh... coffee.

For a moment it was just perfect. But then I thought, taste is the same (as with the french press) only it has no debris. After finishing my cup, I started removing the filter, the funnel, and the carafe. It took me several minutes and some more water just to clean them. Then it just woke me up.

In case you don't know, all of you will die!

I had a weird dream last night:

I did something rude to someone at work and the HR asked me to go to their office as if they are the guidance counselor (aren't they?). When I arrived there, no one talks to me so I asked questions to other people who are not working there. But every time I ask, the answer is always "No." I'm the only one talking and everyone's busy so I felt awkward and then asked, "Can I just read my book?" But the answer is still "No."

After a while, I felt like I have nothing to do there so I left. But then my manager rushed to me while I was walking and he said, "Why did you leave? Someone wants to talk to you there." So I went back. Then there was a crowd. They're like extras in a movie... background people. I forgot what they were talking about but then they started smoking. In a movie, when one started smoking in the background, it's ok, but in my dream, everyone started smoking. So I "thought" this is scripted. Then all of a sudden, the HR manager spoke on a mic. She said, "In case you don't know, all of you who smoke will die!" Then there were gasps... a wave of gasps. And I was still confused of what's happening.

After rereading this dream that I wrote, I was shocked.
My subconscious is insane.

a blast of chill...

I was listening to an 8tracks playlist when this song played.

William Fitzsimmons - I Don't Feel It Anymore (feat. Brooke Fraser)

Ako na ang masama...

1. Sinong may sabing mainit sa Pilipinas? May makatabi ka lang na taong may bagong gadget, para ka nang naka-aircon e.

2. Meron talagang mga taong manlalait ng ibang tao, makapagpatawa lang.

3. Bakit ganun? Matapos kang sabihan ng masama, lalagyan ng 'Joke!' sa huli para magmukhang pabiro. Bakit ba ganun kasama ugali mo? hahaha joke!

4. Kapag single ka, itutukso ka sa iba. Kapag in a relationship ka, bibiruin ka na di rin kayo magtatagal. Bwiset! Ano bang gustong mong status? Dead?

5. Sabi ng kaibigan mo, "Nandito lang ako kapag kailangan mo ng tulong." Ang tagal nyong hindi nagkita. Tapos isang araw, hiningan mo ng pabor. Sabay mageemote sya ng, "Ganyan ka naman e, kapag may kailangan ka lang, tsaka mo ko naaalala." washuz! ansabehmoh dati?
