IRC: An alternative to P2P

[daylebo5]

Other way is to use XDCC search engines...

I'll take example of the best and the easiest one out there

a pretty dumb question ....
where do i get this xdcc search engine from or is it a site ???

[Aces170]

Just to give you some idea of the speeds availabe on MIRC, I doubt if any p2p can reach even haf the speed which I get on MIRC :

Sometime you will get so fast servers/bots, so FAT pipes man!
I've seen upmost a T2 line of some .nl university, amazing..

Juss wot i needed and juss da rite time...
Thanx dude...

[Fountainhead]

Hey, RYB...canya please write a tut on this File transfer thing in Mirc??? this darn thing is not even connecting for me!! Please please, dude.....do this one favour for a poor soul

[abhay]

fountainhead: what firewall are you using? actually most of the IRC networks scan your ports as soon as you login so that they can kick any users who are running risky ports which can be used against other users by some crackers.
may be your ISP blocks any port scan attempts. it happens with my Sygate firewall. it used to block any port scanning IP for 10 minutes and then i also used to get that "DISCONNECTED". after i got rid of this option, i m able to connect fine. just a thought...

@Abhay......it's all solved now....my Mirc is up and runnin' thanx to RYB


And btw, i use ZA Pro.

Regards n thanx, FH.

Nothing, he just didn't read the TUT.. properly
The settings (DCC options were not configured properly)

and, he had some confusions regarding the packetnews interface

The script i started off with.(and later became friends with the author) A very good one. Features... too many to post..(like all scripts above lol)
Only problem is that you may get some problems with ctcp's. So better to disable them.

BTW more scripts reviews coming soon.
Do you guys need reviews of serving scripts???

Has anyone used xdcccatcher? It has the ability to re-request broken downloads, so if your connection is timed out, it will automatically send a request again and will resume downloading. At least that's what they claim.

[rock_ya_baby]

xdccklipper does the same.. i use it now.

[shrek_incredible]

xdcc klipper had been shut down temporarily... Now its back up and kicking
get version 4.34 here
http://xdccklipper.sourceforge.net/xdcc_4.34.zip

But i will say try this too. Its a pretty good software...Under development
Try this
Bottler
http://www.memelog.com/bottler/overview.html

Bottler is an application that creates an interface to IRC offer bots.

If you know where to look, there are hundreds of bots offering hundreds of files. The problem is that finding those files involves hanging out in IRC channels and watching reams of text stream pass. Bottler does all the watching for you by querying bots in IRC channels and then listening in those channels for when new bots arrive. Bottler will present the list of files currently being offered and will let you download them using inbuilt DCC transfer technology.

My fav is bottler.

And yaa xdcc catcher is good but the pro version is 10euros and when everyone is giving these soft for free with the same functions... Who wants to pay for it?
