Preview or Download a Specific File from Zip, Rar archives and ISO Images

ArchView is a firefox plugin used to open the archives (e.g. iso, zip and rar etc.) on the go, without actually downloading them.

Preview And Download A Specific File From Zip, Rar Archives And ISO Images

Mostly when people want to open or see any archive file like iso, rar or zip, before downloading the actual file so that they can look whether their desired file is present in the archive or not, but having no other alternatives to do so.

But by using the ArchView, one can directly open the ISO, Rar and Zip archives files from your browser itself, and if you want to download some specific file or files from that archive, then you can do that as well from the same software.

To view the inner portions of the archive files ArchView gets small chunk of the file directly from the server.

At present, it only supports ISO, Zip, and Rar archive files.
You can download the files by using the file:, FTP or the HTTP protocol.

Click here to install the ArchView firefox add-on. When you get it installed, you will see the status of the plugin in your Mozilla Firefox Status Bar.

Now whenever you want to download some particular file from any zip or rar or iso archive, you can do them very easily.

Archview uses XUL and HTML formats to display the contents within a few moments (as per your choice).

You can describe your experience with the Archview.

Will India Cricket Team win the World Cup 2011 ?

ICC World Cup 2011
icc_trophy

The world war has begun, and the wait is finally over for the cricket world cup 2011.

The Indian cricket fans were eagerly waiting for the ICC Cricket World Cup from 4 years, as last time it was played in 2007. But now we won’t go without winning the trophy. Till yet India have won the World Cup trophy once in 1983.

India is really crazy about the cricket everyone hopes to become a successful cricketer a day, and hence win the Cricket World Cup Trophy which is the most glorious trophy among all.

Winning the 1 day series or the test matches sounds cool but winning a world cup trophy is totally different than winning the test matches and the 1 day series.

How Can India Win the Cricket World Cup 2011 ?

  1. First of all, India is playing in the ground of home. The world cup championship is being hosted jointly by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, which will apply a force to all of them to win the finals.
  2. As India won the T20 cup in 2007 and chosen as No. 1 in the world ranking, by the dynamic captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. But we don’t need to exaggerate ourselves because the teams like England, Australia and South Africa are also having very nice records in winning the matches over past few years.
  3. The last but most important factor is the Indian team has made up a good balance of young and experienced rocker champions, like Tendulkar, Dhoni, Sehwag, Raina, Gambhir and Nehra, who are capable to change the whole strategy of any match.

Hence by looking at all the factors, it seems that India has a good chance (around 90 %) to Win this World Cup. As per the Leading Indian Sports-writer – Mr. Suresh Menon, India can easily win by adopting the three F’s in their life, they are – Fitness, Form and Focus.

Well, Form is not a matter of worrying because the Indian Cricket Team is already keeping it in mind. Fitness could become a little Hitch, because Indian team is not as fit as the other ones e.g. New Zealand, Australia and even Sri Lanka. But the most important thing is Focus which can become an issue if the Indian Cricket Team comes under pressure, either by the home crowd itself or by the media.

As the world cup is going to start now within a few hours, all the Indians are praying for the Indian Team to Win the ICC World Cup Trophy.

What you think? Please post your comments below. I am waiting for your responses.
