As we all know, RapidShare has many limitations for it’s free users, like no simultaneous downloads, download timer and you can not even add multiple links in queue. Plus you have to individually start each download after it finishes.
Recently, while browsing an underground discussion board, I came across an excellent tool to download files off RapidShare. It has nothing special, other than free users can add multiple links in a queue and download in a fully automated way.
Upload Facebook Photos from Desktop
People who have me on Facebook will know that I recently added about 7 albums in my Facebook Photos of my 3-day trip to Karachi, for the Bloggers Meetup (review coming soon) there.
Even though Facebook lets us upload photos through it’s own Java-based or simple uploader, I had to find a desktop solution because my Firefox kept crashing in the middle of upload process.

Most of us add and remove programs and files daily in our computer. But soon you might notice slowness in your system’s performance. That is caused some files are left fragmented while removing or adding new applications.

FuturixImager: Free Image Viewer and Editor
I’ve always been a fan of online image editors as they don’t require any hassle of installation. Remember my collection of 15 online image editors? But that doesn’t mean I don’t like desktop apps.
I always welcome light, small and free image manipulating tools for my PC because it’s quite irritating to open Photoshop for every small change I have to make. Earlier we wrote about Photoscape, but here’s another light, free app I have found.
