Improve donwload speed, really?
Comments
If your internet connection is slow, how can you expect your download speed to improve? It will be according to your broadband connection. You can make your IDM or Torrent client to make full utilization of your bandwidth, but what if the bandwidth is low? No method or trick can work if your connection is slow. Always consider few things while choosing an ISP:
1) Speed
2) Fair usage (Fair usage is the limit after which you will get a lower speed not the exact plan speed)
3) Price
Sometimes you exceed Fair Usage Limit, and your speed becomes slow. You keep on trying this and that technique but the reason behind your slow connection is the limit of the fair usage. So before applying any methods to improve Torrent Client or other Download software speed make sure you have got a good internet connection.

Create Partition without formatting full disk!
Comments
This is a very basic thing, that every other computer user needs to do. Most of us are well aware about partitioning our hard drive disc using some third party software and using full OS installation. One of the most widely used partition assistance software is Aomei.
There are very few of us who use the given capability of Windows operating system. Which lets us to partition our hard disk drive partially, without affecting the current setup of OS and without completely formatting it.

Computer Tweaks had written a post about Computer Management a long back, wherein we had given a glimpse of this feature. Now we are going to explain it in detail.
How to partition using Computer Management?
Step 1] Open Computer Management (Right Click on Computer (Explorer), click on mange, it will open computer management)
Step 2] Go to Storage->Disc Management
Now you will see all the disc partitions, allocated, unallocated spaces (with drive name)
Now lets say you want to partition E Drive which is of 221.6 GBs to two smaller parts of around 110 GB each.
Step 3]
Right click on E drive(or any drive that you want to split into parts) and click on Shrink Volume... (Please Note you will lose data if the drive is full. So if you do not want to lose any of your data, make sure at least half of the drive is empty, because it will format the newly created drive.)
As you will click on Shrink Volume, it will show you the shrink capability.
After waiting for few seconds it will show an option (to give the partition size)
Step 4] After entering the size of partition. you have to click on Shrink.
It will shrink the volume into two parts. As described by you in the previous step.
You will see unallocated newly created partition as shown below.
This 110 GB partition is unallocated space. You can not access it untill you create a new simple volume.
Step 5] Right click on Unallocated Volume and select New Simple Volume.
A New Simple Volume Wizard will open, click on Next to continue the process. Next Window will ask for the partition size keep it same to get full volume.
Step 6] Assign drive name from available list.
Step 7] Now you have to select the File System (If you do not have any specific requirement to make it to exFat, then leave it to be NTFS the default one.) And click next.
Click finish on the coming Window:
Everything is done, it will take some time to format the newly created simple volume. Once the formatting is completed you will be able to use this newly created drive.
This is the procedure to create partition. You can use computer management to merge two volumes. To do so you will have to delete one volume and then extend other volume so that it can get that freely available space that you have deleted.
Firefox Private Browsing
Comments
Sometimes you need to do private browsing, you do not wish others who are using your computer to see your stuff. The reason can be anything. either sites that you visit are confidential (relating to your business) or may be too personal that should not be viewed by others. It may become tedious task to delete your browsing data every time. For an example; if you have browsed for more than 4 hours and you want to delete all that history, either you will have to delete history of that entire day or you will have to see for all the websites that you have visited and delete them one by one from History. Both the situations are not feasible right? So what else you can do? You can use Private Browsing Option in Firefox.
