Korean editions of Windows 7 are noted for having K attached to their names. For example, there are Windows 7 Professional K and Windows 7 Ultimate K for advanced Korean users. If you are a Korean speaker or do business in Korean, you may want to install and use Korean Windows. You can use aria2, transmission-cli and sancho to download Korean Windows 7. For example, the aria2 command to download Windows 7 K editions would be:
aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:H3K37RU7JM42WZZZBAPDMCPTQE3VHUXA"
The magnet link (inside the quote) will let you download both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7 Korean editions, including Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise.
Microsoft Office 2013 is out with new looks and features. This latest release of Microsoft Office features a flat and square design and integrates the free SkyDrive cloud storage service from Microsoft. Office 2013 is a trialware, meaning that you can try it for 30 days until you purchase a license key from Microsoft. Please be aware that Microsoft Office 2013 only supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 2008 R2 and any later versions of Windows, so it won't run on Windows XP or Windows Vista.
If you want to download, install and try Microsoft Office 2013, there are downloadable ISO copies of Corporate Volume License editions of Microsoft Office 2013 available on bittorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network. You can use any bittorrent application, but aria2 or transmission is recommended. In the following examples, transmission-cli can be used instead of aria2c.
To download English Volume License edition of Office Professional Plus 2013, type the following command on Command Prompt. This torrent contains both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Microsoft Office 2013.
aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:N4CRYICBV3R2JO5CKFNWCVJ76FXKJLFB"
To download X86 Volume English edition of Microsoft Visio Professional 2013, type the following command on Command Prompt. A torrent is also available here.
aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:BVEARE7CO2PTBJXLBWVOHWAPVWQBENQ2"
To download X64 Volume English edition of Microsoft Visio Professional 2013, type the following command on Command Prompt. A torrent is also available here.
aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:Q37EIBGSJOBBNJG2E2AHOZQHWCC4D5IK"
To download X86 Volume English edition of Microsoft Project Professional 2013, type the following command on Command Prompt. A torrent is also available here.
aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:LKWVAEFXJNGNYA37ZV6YBAKC3AXNM45U"
To download X64 Volume English edition of Microsoft Project Professional 2013, type the following command on Command Prompt. A torrent is also available here.
aria2c "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:LRYKC5N22ILNC6Y6U7DTLECDGC3VOTMU"
When you use aria2 or transmission, please be patient with the program as it takes time to find the peers. Once you download the ISO, burn the ISO using a free ISO-burning tool, such as CDBurnerXP or ImgBurn. No product key or serial number is necessary when you install any of the above Volume License editions of Microsoft Office, Visio or Project Professional 2013. However, you may use the product for 30 days without restriction. After that, you need to activate the product to continue using it. Read this post to find out how to activate Microsoft Office 2013.
I wrote a BASH shell script and a DOS batch file that can be used to download files using aria2 — Aria2 is a command-line tool for downloading files. The script and the batch file take 2 arguments; the first one is for the bittorrent hash in 40-digit hexadecimal number and the second one is for arbitrary one-word description.
aria2.bat can be used on Windows, and aria2.sh can be used on Linux and *BSD. Make sure that aria2c is in PATH. For example, if you want to download an ISO file for the OpenSUSE DVD, you would type something like:
aria2.bat 198472f5217d843cceb1a4c82233f009ed6608af opensuse-dvd-586
To find the value of a bittorrent hash (that long hex number), you can cut it from a magnet link you find on a Web site — Magnet links allow you to download actual files without first having to download bittorrent files (*.torrent). When you see a magnet sign, right-click on it to display the shortcut menu and select Copy Link Location.
Then, paste it somewhere, for example, inside the URL address bar. The hash value comes after the btih: string.
After you find the bittorrent hash, use it as the first argument to the script and make up anything for the second argument, as shown in the example above.
Windows 8 ISO files have the following BTIH hash values. Use them with my aria2 script to download Windows 8.
Transmission is a free bittorrent application available on Linux. It is a pretty neat tool compared to other bittorrent software. It is possible to compile and use Transmission on Windows, thanks to Cygwin. First, install Cygwin using the Cygwin installer(setup.exe). I set the Root directory to C:\Cygwin and chose to install the following packages in addition to base packages.
Compile zlib.
./configure --prefix=/usr --static
make
cp -iv zconf.h zlib.h /usr/include
cp -iv libz.a /usr/lib
Build OpenSSL.
./Configure -DHAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC -lz -lpthread threads zlib --prefix=/usr cygwin
make
make install
Build CURL.
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-shared --with-ssl --with-ca-bundle=ca-bundle.crt
make
make install
Compile libevent.
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-shared
make
make install
Lastly, build transmission.
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-nls --without-gtk CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC
make
make install
If you get snprintf error with libutp, insert the following line into utp.cpp:
extern int snprintf(char *, size_t, const char *, ...);
C:\Program Files\Transmission. Then, create a shortcut with the following command:transmission-daemon -b -o -m -ep -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.* --utp
Double-clicking the shortcut will not open any window. However, transmission-daemon is silently running in the background. You can control the daemon with any Web browser by opening this local Web address:
http://127.0.0.1:9091/
The settings for the daemon are stored in the ~/.config/transmission-daemon folder. Make sure the HOME environment variable points correctly to your folder.
Also, TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable should be correctly set up to use the web browser interface.
To learn how to build transmission-daemon for Windows, read this post.
MLDonkey is a multi-protocol P2P file-sharing program for Windows, Mac and Linux. Unlike eMule, MLDonkey supports Bittorrent, FastTrack and DirectConnect networks, too. Compiling MLDonkey requires OCaml compiler toolchain. First, download and install the following Ocaml stuff. These are names of required Debian packages:
ocaml-native-compilers
camlp4
ocaml-nox
Then, install these libraries:
zlib1g-dev
libbz-dev
libgd2-xpm-dev
libmagic-dev
Now, you are ready to compile MLDonkey. Change directory to the MLDonkey source tree and type these commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu
make release.mlnet.static
You'll get a tarball, for example, mldonkey-3.0.0.static.i586-Linux_glibc-2.7.tar.bz2. Keep it at a safe place. Now, extract the tarball to a directory, for example, /opt. In the extracted folder, you'll find an executable, mlnet. This is just a command-line program, so you need a GUI frontend, such as Sancho.
