Nerrot is a simple bit torrent searcher that finds the torrent you are looking for. Nerrot is like a Google I’m feeling lucky search. You simply type in the name of what you are looking for and it will popup a download almost instantly. Nerrot though does not have any other features so it is pretty simple as you can see from the above screen shot. Also although the searches are most of the time rite there is no way of detecting if a torrent is fake because there are no comments. I recommend this to people who are just looking to download torrent really quick.
Have you ever need to convert a zip to a 7z or maybe a mp3 to a wav? Well Zamzar is a site that allows you to upload a file or 100mb or less and convert it into any of the supported file types (Check out the list of supported types Here). It is really easy to use and is good when you need to convert a file really quick. There are just 4 quick steps. upload your file, choose the file type you want, enter your email, and click convert. You email is only required so they can send you a link when its done. I love this because if I am running out of my house it will go and convert it for me and then in 10 minutes or less i will get an email from them saying that it has been converted. Also if the file is hosted online you can just put in the URL and it will convert it too. Though I do not think it supports compressed files with passwords.If you need more room to convert files you can always buy a subscription. The lowest is basic and it is 7$ a month and increases you size to 200mb and gives you an online storage of 5gb. So if you need to convert files on the go and then be able to access them then this is the way to go.
