This guide mainly applies to Ubuntu users who do not want to follow the Ubuntu Forums guide, which uses wine to install Veoh TV.
You need to download the latest version of VEOH Proxy from http://code.google.com/p/veohproxy/
You need to download the src files and not the executable file.The current version of Veoh proxy is 1.5 and the direct download link is http://veohproxy.googlecode.com/files/veohproxy-1.51-src.zip
Download this and extract it.You will get a folder called VeohProxy-1.51.
Now open Terminal and navigate to VeohProxy-1.51 directory.
Enter the following command.
python default.py
The screenshot will make it clear.

Make a note of the last line.
Here it is 127.0.0.1:64653.This is the address of the local proxy.
To download a veoh video make a note of the url in the web browser.It will be something like this. http://www.veoh.com/videos/v280192es88wEr4?searchId=3295803849254710272&rank=1 Take the cryptic part starting with the letter “v” and append it to the local webserver URL: http://127.0.0.1:64653/v280192es88wEr4. You can just type it in your browser and it should download or show the file. Or you can pass the URL directly to your favourite media player.
Thats it.You can now download high quality videos from Veoh easily in Ubuntu.

I found an interesting command in Ubuntu today.
Go the Terminal and enter fortune.
It displays an interesting epigram.

================================================================
You can temporarily stop all unwanted services for casual gaming,ripping,encoding etc and also start the stopped services once you finish with your work by using the batch files I have created.
These batch files use the net start and net stop command to stop services.
Stopping all running services
Download Stopv2.zip and extract it.Then Double Click on Stopv2.bat.You will see a black dos screen which displays the services currently being stopped.After all the services are stopped a new batch file start.bat is created.
Restarting all stopped Services
Double Click on start.bat.All services previously stopped will be restarted.
Stoperror.log and starterror.log contain the errors encountered during the starting or stopping of the services.
Excluding certain services from being Stopped.
- Automatic Method :-Just run Addleave.bat when all services are running(not when you have stopped them).Enter y for whichever services you want to exclude.For the remaining services just press enter.
- Manual Method :-Open leave.txt with a test editor like notepad.Enter the Service Name which you would like to exclude at the end of the file (on a new line).
Coming Soon
- Support For Vista
- GUI Tool to easily add exceptions to leave.txt and GUI interface for stopping and starting services.
Please post your feedback.
