[ FREE ][ more than 15 gb for free ] Offcloud vs Bitport vs Seedr :which is best among three to direct download from torrent to cloud storages like google drive ,one drive ,dropbox etc.

By
Offcloud : [RECOMMENDED BY ME] [AS OF 17-july-2017] Offcloud is a little different from the rest of the providers we’ve looked at, as it isn’t focused on downloading torrents. The company markets itself as “a simple, elegant and intuitive  SaaS  to retrieve any data from the cloud.” We were surprised at the amount of different sources Offcloud supports for downloading, and it even has a ticket box that allows users to suggest new sites to support.  pros: best part you can direct download to your cloud storage like google drive , mega.NZ,one drive ,Dropbox,etc.. Cons: only 3 links permitted to download over free account ..that limit is per months .. you can buy a premium account to bypass this .............. else you can also use a fake email generator and add a remote account to cloud download bypasssing above limit.. Note that Off-cloud doesn’t intend to act as a “seedbox,” which is a server used to boost a user’s ration on private trackers by perpetua...

Bypass Right Click Block on Any Website by java script

By
How JavaScript Works? Before you proceed to the next part which tells you how to disable the JavaScript functionality and bypass any of the restrictions imposed by it, it would be worthwhile for you to take up a minute to understand how JavaScript works. JavaScript is a client side scripting language (in most cases), which means when loaded it runs from your own web browser. Most modern browsers including IE, Firefox, Chrome and others support JavaScript so that they can interpret the code and carry out actions that are defined in the script. In other words, it is your browser which is acting upon the instruction of JavaScript to carry out the defined actions such as blocking the right-click activity. So, disabling the JavaScript support on your browser can be a simple solution to bypass all the restrictions imposed by the website. How to Disable the JavaScript? Here is a step-by-step procedure to disable JavaScript on different browsers: For Internet Explorer: If you are...
