Dynamo Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 So, should i wait until i get a minimum amount of sharing stuff to use DC, or jump into IRC (the latter somehow seems way more complicated)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin19 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I too have experimented with most p2p softwares and it is my opinion that IRC is definately the most beneficial if u take a little time to learn it. Here is a cut/paste of a very small (and pitiful ) IRC guide hastily written by myself which I use in my own DC hub. ~~~IRC~~~IRC has been around for years but it is still probably the best way to get ISOs for your console. As far as clients go they don't really have an impact on how easily you can find get what you are looking for, instead it really depends on the scripts u use along with them. Clients - mIRC - prob the best and easily the most popular IRC client > http://www.mirc.com There are several other clients available but really this is the only one you will need. Scripts - There are loads of scripts available for IRC like anti-spam, flood protection etc but for our purposes we need one that gathers info on the 'bots' in each IRC channel (hub). There are a few available like XDCC Klipper and XDCC browser. However there is a very good all-in-one script that includes XDCC Klipper and much more besides, called Invision. Again this script is all you will need but feel free to search for similar scripts if u like. Get the Invision script here > http://www.scriptheaven.net. This site houses many other useful IRC scripts when u feel like trying any out. FAQs, Guides - This is the standard IRC FAQ and probably the most in-depth too > http://www.mirc.com/ircintro.html This is a guide for downloading from the bots - http://www.kojin-asylum.pwp.blueyonder.co....ownloading3.htmAnd a guide to downloading from the servers, ie. other users - http://www.kojin-asylum.pwp.blueyonder.co....ownloading2.htm Links - There are many search engines to search the IRC channels such as IRCSpy and PacketNews, but here is a page with most of the main search engines all in one place > http://www.debateroom.com That should be all you need to start downloading the vast amount of games available to you on IRC. Happy downloading ) ~~~~~ Despite the fact that I host a hub on DC and it is easy to use I would definately advocate IRC as the best means of d/ling games. Usenet is very good too but not as many games are available and maybe even more difficult than IRC to learn. In the irc guide i linked to the main irc faq as a good reference point but really its the 2 'download' links which u will need to read more. As with most p2p the best way to learn is to just install the thing and use it and use faqs as reference. If u need to find specific games channels on IRC use the 'IRCSearch' box at www.debateroom.com, which searches for channel names rather than actual files. If u need a few channels to start u off then PM me and I'll let u know some If u do decide to use DC however don't forget to drop into my hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 (edited) The bad thing about IRC, after you learn it, is that you can only start one download at a time. Also, XDCC bots will sometimes cut you off if your download speed drops below a certain level (I encountered one that refused to send to anyone below 30 KB/s). After you fool with IRC, DC is the next logical step. I like to think of DC as a more user-friendly, (intentionally) warez-oriented version of IRC.

Gryph Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 No it's fine, if you don't register the only difference is that window asking you to donate and telling you about the author comes up. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
