Torrent2exe makes Bittorrent a tad easier
Torrent2Exe is a small application that takes any torrent file as input and converts the file to a tiny Bittorrentexecutable file.
The Bittorrent protocol has gone a long way since its beginning, and applications have become increasingly easier to use for most users. Most torrent clients come with lots of settings though; they let you change upload and download speeds, ports, priority, and a lot more. While they work out of the box just fine for most users, experienced users usually like to modify settings to optimize the downloading and seeding further.
The concept of using Bittorrent clients to download files is however harder to explain to users who work with a computer but are not tech-savvy. Instead of telling these users to install a Bittorrent client to load the torrent which in turn will download the files the torrent links to, one could also point them to a simpler solution that is just an executable file that requires zero configuration.
Torrent2Exe
Torrent2exe is a web application that can turn any torrent file into an executable. The torrent can be selected from an URL, or from the computer of the user creating the executable.
The only other option that you have to pick is whether you want to distribute the torrent with the full client, or with a web installer. The latter downloads the required program bits on the Internet on first run.
The partial download does not make much sense in my opinion because the size of the full client is only about 500 Kilobytes. The size of the partial client was about a tenth of that figure. Then again, if you plan to distribute the executable file, you will save a lot of bandwidth if users download the program files during first run.
After the download completes the program reminds users to continue seeding. The default setting is to seed the full size of the downloaded torrent once, but another size can be set instead if that is preferred.
Closing Words
Torrent2exe is an excellent application especially for companies who would like to distribute large files without having to offer the downloads directly, or having to explain and troubleshoot downloading via Bittorrent clients.
Does it come back after every “moment” update?
Yeah right.. Like this is going to stop defender from running =) This is comedy gold right here.
no ‘about the author’ paragraph?
For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.
Just this is joke.
simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
– filter “Defender”
– untag all entries
– reboot
nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago
I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).
U are just * [Editor: removed] thats the problem ;p first of all u shall always debloat windows u shall have max 65 services with your drivers for pc and windows own servs. You didnt know what that script did
You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.
@borts,
It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor
Remove Windows and go for Linux.
Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.
I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?
@basingstoke
You’re right, dude. Bro, linux is just a bunch of code that starts before the OS, dude. Brobrodude, that shit ain’t even got emojis, dudebrodudeman! Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.
Lol what? Windows 7 doesn’t come with any Emojis
Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
Just use “Defender Control”:

it also works on Windows 11 too…
Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
you can go further. But defender is always on your side.
Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.
Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How a ridiculous article!
I am thoroughly stunned.
Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).
As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
