sunxdcc seems to be shutting down 😢
Same - have to !s Just gotta overcome the embarrassment
I don't think there can be a good search engine due to bots constantly reorganizing their offerings instead of just incrementing their list to add a new package.
But if anyone does know a good index that can keep up with the bot's changes, I'd appreciate it as well.
Whats !s ? Search command in the chat?
Yup, it really depends on the bot,
it can be !s , !search , @search and so on, depends on the person who created the bot ..
Okay, thanks for confirming.
Coming to networks, the ones mentioned on https://xdcc-search.com/networks should be good right? Have only been to rizon and irchighway so far.
I primarily use xdcc.eu and download from #beast-xdcc, #elitewarez, #moviegods (irc.abjects.net), the.source (irc.scenep2p.net), #elitewarez (irc.rizon.net), and sometimes #zombie-warez (irc.abandoned-irc.net)
That engine gives wrong results half the time, bots offerings keep changing I guess...
I've only had wrong IDs <=10%.
Maybe I got lucky, or it changed recently. Or you got unlucky.
It seems like I just got unlucky!
I use the search engine to determine which network and channel has what I want. Usually it's the same bot too. Then if the send command offers the wrong item, I just have to !s to figure out what the current pack # is.
I use irc.scenep2p.net
XDCC never sent me anything on scenep2p. Dunno what's wrong there, regarding networking or something. It works fine on multiple other networks.
Passive vs active bots? I stopped using xdcc because nowadays lots of networks stopped using the right naming for passive/active bots. However in scenep2p the bots seems to be well named.
You need to be registered on the network to be able to PM the bots, the network supports ssl and ircv3 as far as I can see. I am able to get files via xdcc.
