Windows 7 Updates

This issue has come and gone over the years with different fixes along the way, so here is my updated guide to this issue as of this date January 5th, 2016
This is what I do when I reinstall W7with SP1 or have issues with Windows update stuck on checking for updates.
If Service Pack 1 is not installed, install it before following this guide.
Download KB-3102810 and save it where you can find it later
Download SUR Tool save it to same place
Restart the PC and disconnect from internet before Windows loads, this is important because at every boot windows will check for updates in the background and this will start the checking for updates hang all over again and will prevent the install of the downloaded packages until it finishes checking, so disconnecting from the internet before Windows loads prevents this.
Once booted install KB-3102810, if reboot is required do so and stay disconnected from internet.
Now install the SUR Tool package, this is a big package and will install many updates along with cleaning up and repairing the Windows update store. It will also cut down on how many more Windows updates will need to be installed later.
After install of SUR package reboot, connect to insternet and do a manual Windows Update, it should work much faster now. Even after these fixes I have seen some W7 PC's take up to an hour to finish checking for updates if launched from Control Panel manually.
If you have other Windows updates issues and the 2 updates above are installed, download this Microsoft Windows Update fixit tool (right click "save link as") run it and select aggressive mode to completely reset Windows updates. Reboot and try Windows Updates from the Control Panel

File sharing sites that have been blocked by department of telecom (DOT)

3. Good old Proxy
Proxy sites are still one of the best ways to access any file sharing sites that have been blocked by department of telecom (DOT). However if you are not familiar with proxy sites, try any of the solution given above or below.
4. Use IP address of the website
Most of the websites have dedicated ip address, and for file-sharing websites, this is also true. So you can access your favorite sites directly as our ISPs have not banned ip address of these websites, just the domains have been banned. (Because some ip address just redirect to domain name, and some use shared hosting so it will not work for some websites)
You can check for any blocked website ip address at http://www.who.is
I have done some work for you and collected the ip-addresses of some websites. However some of these sites may change their ip address so do use who.is website to check for the latest if the following does not work

• 1. Megaupload.com   http://174.140.154.15/
  2. VideoBB.com   http://173.199.120.5/
  3. Rapidshare.com   http://195.122.131.16/
  4. Hotfile.com   http://199.7.177.218/
  5. Depositfiles.com   http://78.140.135.6/en/
  6. Ziddu.com   http://84.45.63.21/

I have tried to provide the best information that I have learned from the comments of previous post and from other blogs and forums. I hope it helps you to unblock the file sharing services in India and access them easily, Please do share your views and comments on the topic.
