Web indexing provides new content more quickly – Google Caffeine launch

Caffeine, Google's new web indexing system, went live Wednesday. Announcing the global launch of Caffeine, Google discussed that its evolving search engine technology makes even more freshly minted web content accessible and delivers that new material faster than before. Nobody will change the way they use Google. But links to a broader range of relevant content are now presented much faster following the content is published. The Caffeine overhaul of the web indexing technology also can be able to give Google a lot more flexibility to keep pace with a web that is evolving at an accelerating rate.

Usenet Resource Downloader (URD)

Posted Wed, 2010-07-14 16:11 by gg234

URD is a program to download binaries from usenet (newsgroups) through a web interface.While some other programs offer similar services (e.g. Ninan, Sabnzbd), URD doesn’t need external NZB files to function. URD lets you subscribe to newsgroups, and will then automatically analyse those articles to form downloadable ‘sets’,consisting of all the files belonging to a specific upload. These sets are displayed, and through point and click you can be downloading a binary in no time.
