Windows/Mac/Linux: Freeware application Deluge is a lightweight, cross-platform BitTorrent client. Aside from the standard BitTorrent functionality (you know, downloading), Deluge has a—dare I say—flood of great features for such a young client, including a web interface (like uTorrent and Transmission), full encryption, RSS support, and a plug-in system for adding even more functionality. In fact, if anything Deluge is an attempt at building a cross-platform BitTorrent client with the chops of the popular Windows-only uTorrent, and so far it looks promising. Deluge is free, open source, works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. via Lifehacker

Movie Converter Software for China iPod

2008-06-10T21:22:00.000-07:00

My friend just bought a China iPod with 2 Gigabyte storage. He want to play some video clip and movie with it. He thought, China iPod can play 3gp file or mp4 file as shown in the Box cover unfortunately it can't. That's why it is cheap lol :)

After searching in the internet, he find out that China iPod cannot play any 3gp or mp4 format file.

Ok, Actually China iPod use AMV format file.So in order to convert your 3gp, flv or avi file to AMV format,we need to use mpxconveter.It is an open software and free. Compare to other amv converter . MPxConverter is much better because it use hacked ffmpeg software as a back end so the converting process is a lot faster than other amv converter software.

So if you already bought cheap China iPod like my friend here :) mpxconveter is the answer.

Mpxconverter available in windows and linux.Download here
