Mumbai girls molested during new year celebrations... Pictures

In a shocking incident, two NRI women were molested by a mob of about 70 men during New Year revelries near Juhu beach sparking an outrage, but Police Commissioner D N Jadhav, on Wednesday dismissed it as minor accusing the media of blowing it out of proportion.



In a replay of a molestation of a woman by revellers at the Gateway of India exactly a year ago, the women went through the 15-minute ordeal outside a five-star hotel before the police rescued them after being alerted by media photographers at the scene. The photographers captured the incident on camera.

The incident which has raised questions on whether the country's "safest city" tag holds good for Mumbai took place at around 01:45 hrs on Monday when the two women, accompanied by two men, walked towards Juhu beach from the hotel.

The police came under attack for not filing a case the whole of Tuesday saying no complaint was registered with them, and after some buckpassing on jurisdiction issue.

Fuelling further anger, Jadhav said "Such things can happen anywhere anytime. Here also where I am. I can't keep police behind every man." "Don't make mountain out of mole hill," he told newsmen when asked about the incident.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, R R Patil, while disapproving of Jadhav's remarks said the State government will take suo motu action and the case will be taken up in a fast-track court since the victims are from California.

Nearly 36 hours after the incident, police registered a case of outraging a modesty of woman.

Muthiah Muralitharan bagged his 700th victim and still looking for many...

Yesterday (14-Jul-2007), Muralitharan bagged his 700th Wicket, that of Syed Rasel (of Bangladesh) and became the second cricketer in history to reach the milestone. Shane Warne is leading in front with 708 wickets.

What's great about these 2 players is that, both are spin bowlers, who made the art of spin bowling to such higher levels. Earlier days of cricket, bowler means fast bowler. Spinners are only meant for bowling the slog overs. Now the scenario changed a lot. Even in one-day international matchesspinners are holding a key role to win the match.

One is a classic leg spinner while the other one is a wily off spinner. Both are hard workers and always experiment new variations. Both are masters of googly, flipper, staright balls, quicker ones. Its very difficult to predict their ball until the ball reaches the hands of the wicke keeper or it takes the bail or it will land in the hands of a fielder or abtsman's leg to be LBWed. Each single ball they bowl is a treat to watch. Even the most dangerous batsmen in the world will be watchfull against these bowlers.

But, both these players are the companions of controvery always. Shane Warne for his personal life and Muralitharan for his bowling action.

Muralitharan's bowling action had been a hot issue in cricketing arena. Umpires notified him of a chukker. The infamous Sri Lanka - Australia test match in 1995, where umpire Darryl Hair judged his bowling as no ball. But, the whole Sri Lankan team and their cricketing body stood behind him. And the ICC conducted lots of bio-medical tests on him. Finally it was revealed as, he is having some disablity in his right hand and he is not a chukker.

Also, the law of ICC regarding the chukking is changed as stating a bowler can bnd his arm upto 15 degrees. By that, Muralitharan came inside that limit and automatically his bowling action also became legal.

As Murali is taking more and more wickets, ICC will be under pressure.

Whatever may be the case, the fact is that, Murali is a great bowler and a true sports man and a good human being. He is cool guy, always smiling.

Increase the speed of torrent file download with utorrent... by optimizing the settings..

Pls visit my previous post for basic idea about the bittorrent file sharing @ http://new-kerala.blogspot.com/2007/07/basic-knowledge-about-torrent-file.html

Note: The settings are based on 256kbps broadband internet connection and uTorrent 1.7 version (which I'm using.. :). Pls make proportionate changes according to your internet speed.

First go to Options>Preferences>Downloads

Under Other Settings,

1. Append .!ut to incomplete files: UNCHECKED

2. Pre-allocate all files: CHECKED

3. Prevent standby if there are active torrents: CHECKED (if unchecked, system will go standby mode before completing the download).

Go to Options>Preferences>Connection

1. Under ‘Port used for incomming connections‘ enter any port number. It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 54322.

2. Randomize port each time µtorrent starts: UNCHECKED. I leave this unchecked because I have a router. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security,check this option.

3. Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED. I leave this unchecked because I have experienced it slowing down speeds. It is not needed if you manually port forward.

4. Enable NAT_PMP port mapping:CHECKED

5. Add µtorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only): UNCHECKED (do this only if you have windows firewall disabled)

Under Global Bandwidth Limiting/ Upload,

6. Maximum Upload rate : 9 (for 256 connection)

Note: If you use your Maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.
You can calculate the optimal upload speed…by actual upload speed * 80%

7. Alternate upload rate when not downloading : UNCHECKED

Go to Options>Preferences>BitTorrent

1. Global Maximum Number of Connections: 90 (for 256k connection)This number should not be set too low or the number of connections made to your torrents will be limited. Setting it too high may cause too much bandwidth to be used and can cause slowdowns.

2. Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: 60 (for 256k connection)If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly this number, or very close, increase this number to improve speeds.

Optimize this setting by, calculating upload speed * 1.3

3. Number of upload slots per torrent: 3 (for 256k connection)This depends on how much you want to upload to other users. Do not set too low or it may affect download speeds.

4. Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%: CHECKED

5. Enable DHT Network: CHECKED. This is recommended to be checked to improve speeds. More people will be available for sharing if this is checked.

6. Enable DHT for new torrents: CHECKED

7. Enable Local Peer discovery: CHACKED

8. Enable Peer Exchange: CHECKED

9. Ask Tracker for scrape information: CHECKED

Go to Options>Preferences>Queueing

Under Queue settings,

1. Maximum number of active torrents(upload or download) : 1 (for 256k connection)

2. Maximum number of active downloads : 1 (for 256k connection)

Go to Options>Preferences>Advanced

Set the value of net.max_halfopen: 50

Maximum download speed
Setting your maximum download speed to unlimited will hurt your connection. So use this to calculate your optimal setting.
download speed * 90%
