A lot of videos available through torrents and peer-to-peer networks come compressed inside Rar archives. The video file must be UnRared i.e extracted from the archive before it can be played in a media player. If the file is too large, extracting it will take some time.

Wouldn\’t it be better if the video could be played directly from the rar file, without extracting? If your answer is yes, Dziobas RAR Player is for you. The caveat: the video files can only be played directly if the mode of compression used is store.
Dziobas is based on MPlayer and is free.

Here\’s a very handy tool for webmasters and web-developers. OctaGate Site Timer is an online tool that lets you monitor the complete load time of a website.Just specify the website or page to time and press start. The site-timer records the loading times of all the components (images, frames, Iframes, Scripts etc..) present in the webpage, right from the start to the last byte.
The recorded data is then neatly shown in a grid; the time, size and other details for each element in a page is displayed.
