Just 4 days ago I told you about Quintessential Media Player.
But the day I started using QMP I had also installed another media player called Billy. It was very small a program that I didn’t try to run it that day. I thought it wouldn’t be having any features I wanted.
But wait! This 665 KB (with setup and 357 KB without setup) media player can do anything including managing playlists, playing shuffled, have a tiny mode, calculate total playlist time, have sleep timer, rename multiple items, jump to playing file, a softmute (30 % of volume) and every one of those functions have a keyboard shortcut too. Even seek can be done with cursor keys. And there is a tiny visualisation too. Moreover under the seek bar it shows you the total time, elapsed time and remaining time all at once. And in the status bar it shows you the properties of the file, the number of files in the playlist, play mode, etc. What not, there is a find option which can be used to search any file in the playlist (and it can search within track information too)

And the most thrilling part is it uses only under 1 MB of resources while running for itself (+ the size of the song)

My God!
At last I have found the truly lightest media player… It’s Billy…

I have been on the look out of a light media player which can perform all the tasks I want to do (all those shuffling, playlist organizing, etc. etc.), and I always thought that after media player classic, there’s nothing light that can do those. But ever since I started using Quintessential Media Player I have been in love with it. It supports plugins, it can shuffle playlists, it has many skins, there’s a shade mode, shows remaining time for a track and above all it runs very very light on resources.

So what are you waiting for just go to Quintessential Player website, and get it.

Update: I discovered Billy later which is as light as it can get, and as good as everything else.

You ask this:

I want an application that can be used to attach sticky notes or to do lists or just some notes on my desktop.
It should run with almost no memory requirement.
Don’t make me download higher than 1 MB. (I mean download must be less than 1 MB)
It should be easy to use.
It must be free.

and you search the whole internet, you won’t find this:
Memento. Your tool. Just download it, install it, enjoy making to do lists, (like the pen and pad to do lists) and simplify your life.

Here’s the site:
Memento – Guys with Towels

Here are two tools which I’ve personally used and found extremely useful in calculating how much data i’ve downloaded/uploaded through my internet connection.

Anyone using a minimum pay internet connection will sooner or later need either of these tools.

The first one is a very small single file application called Network Traffic Monitor. This thing allows you to find the amount of data downloaded or uploaded in that particular session and also the speed of downloading or uploading. This comes useful when you have low memory or is just checking out how much downloding does browsing actually cause.
Direct Download Network Traffic Monitor (zip file, about 0.5 MB)

The next tool is a larger software, which always runs in the background – NetLimiter Monitor provides details and exportable daily/monthly statistics. It can be used to find the amount of data sent or received by individual applications. It also keeps a track of all the statistics. So, it can be used to find the total amount of upload and download in a month.

My search for the lightest browser that can compat all the problems of my system’s memory shortcomings continues. My latest discovery is the K-Meleon browser with which I am blogging right now. It is just too fast. I don’t know whether it crashes or has any other problems. But it is a lot more stable than other browsers with orkut and blogger. And it is lightning quick too. That is what attracted me. It is the RAM less man’s Mozilla Firefox. It has got great stability. But it is very very quick. I can’t describe my feelings in words. I am running media player and it is still dazzling fast. I keep on repeating praising its speed because it is really that fast.
So why wait?
Go to K-Meleon’s home page here

‘.torrent’ is the file extension of a type of file that have changed the downloading world so rapidly that a country had to arrest a web host to stop piracy spreading. Torrents are the easiest way to download files through net but from other people like us.
Suppose you want to download a movie and you are sure it is online. In these steps you will be ready to see it from your pc offline.

1. Go to a torrent search website like torrentz or piratebay
2. Search the movie that you want.
3. Select the most seeded and most proper download (seed is the number of people who have this file. So the higher the seed the faster may be the download)
4. Download the torrent.
5. This torrent will be a small file. Now you will need a software like utorrent or bittorrent to start downloading using the torrent file you just downloaded. Install either of them and open the file with those softwares.
6. Choose a folder to download.
7. Wait until download complete popup opens up

You are ready to see the film
