xiphoid Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Quite a few people on the emu forums don't seem to have any game shares. I think this may well be down to bad scripting rather than no actual shares. I wonder if this is a deliberate attempt to avoid having to do the old uploading thing. Please do not forget that uploading should be an inevitability that everyone is resigned to; it keeps P2P alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Well you got a very good point there.At the same time since these P2P softares are not exactly what we call "Well Made" always, they are easy to hack and people abuse that tremendously. A good example of is Fake Sharers in Direct Connect. They make Direct Connect say that you have a 100GB share or whatever and when someone looks in your file list, you have nothing. Samething with Kazaa, it has become a porn ground. People don't really use it for music anymore. If Napster stayed alive, to be honest I think it wouldn't be as bad. Then the rest of these softwares would be based on Music Only (which is highly arguable), but thats what I think. This would help music, as well as games and softwares and such only available of off of IRC, NewsGroups, & Websites. It would also make it harder for people to get roms and allow more new games and softwares to be made in the future. After Kazaa was made, over 10,000 internet softwares, games, etc, were discontinued or should I say everyone stopped working on them because they had to rewrite all of the codes to make it so people can't post it on the net or something.

ME! Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 a simple way to get rid of the fake sharers in the dc hub would be to only allow peeps using dc++. i know of many hubs that have done this for the reason that dc++ is difficult to hack or something...at least, that is what i have heard.

xiphoid Posted May 5, 2003 Author Share Posted May 5, 2003 DC++ is difficult to hack, but not imposible. As DC++ is readily available I think I would have to agree with this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME! Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 exactly. nothing is impossable. dc++ i way better anyway. after using it, i couldnt even see myself going back to the standard dc client. the only reason anyone would use the dc client from neo-modus would be either to fake their share or they just dont know about dc++.

Well believe it or not, DC++ has already been hacked since the source code for it is public. I myself did a lot of research on fake sharers and all of the major clients they use and one of them is a exact hacked version of DC++. I won't release the name since that will just provoke other people, however some sources say all of these fake sharers contain a backdoor hack that the maker of these fake sharers can reformated or do something even worse with all the people using his fake sharing clients. So it could be maybe be the end for fake sharers.However about 10% of all hubs users are fake sharers too or make their share say 100GB when they really have 50GB. So its not exactly always based on if that person is just not sharing anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilnos_unholy Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 look, I have used direct connect for a lot of things, except for games, every time I try using it for games I end up with fake files, same with kazaa, just to day I downloaded the valis 2 ISO from DC... or so I thought... it turned out to be a friggin' norwegian porn with some fat women in it... I truly hate that crap, that is why you will most likely not see me on any p2p programs, unless I am looking for silvia saint clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
