DC++,Napster (Before Shitallica), SuperNova, aaaand the granddaddy of them all....Downloading GnR's Welcome to the jungle on dial up, took 3 days....On Fttp....FTW
You'll have to look around to find a group but, DC++ is where a lot of the scan groups release directly to.
If you have a Usenet subscription check out Mylar. It's like Sickbeard or Sonarr but for comics.
I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but back when I was in college everybody on campus had DC++ installed to share their media. It was awesome being able to download dvd rips in like 30 seconds from other people on campus.
You just run the server app on your computer and have people connect to that.
If you have a spare computer laying around, you could throw a couple large hard drives in it and install Freenas on it. It gives you raid options and several ways to share media (FTP, SAMBA, AFP, etc) over your network.
Other P2P networks never really went away. Both of the ones you mentioned are still around.
eMule still seems to be used, maybe has more users outside the U.S. You can still find things on there.
Gnutella is still around but is a bit dead IMO.
There are other P2P networks that are also still active. (people still use Soulseek for example)
EDIT: Forgot to mention DC++ is also still in use.
I have no idea how it works, or if it will work on your network, but when I was a freshman living in the dorms, a few of my super tech savvy hall mates turned me on to DC++. It's not torrenting (I think), and I haven't used it since 2007 so I don't know if its still relevant. My dorm hall was huge, so there was a sizeable user base. Sorry I couldn't answer your question directly
ok so you want to get this:
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/
this (http://radiohub.wikidot.com/links) will give you some extra info, but i will help you out once you have DC++ installed. let me know
If you are going for torrenting, then you may as well use DC++ instead for ease of use and better features. Just run a portable wifi and your all set.
Any sysadmin who isn't a total idiot will always take down any unknown box he finds, for all he knows it might be a Kali box trying to spoof an AP.
It's awesome. You usually y have to share content to get access to content, but it's fantastic if you listen to a lot of obscure music, or you like discovering new stuff that isn't widely available.
I suggest you investigate using "Direct Connect" instead, most often simply called "DC++". You need a server running the hub software, most popular and relatively easy to used is YnHub and everyone will need a client, "DC plus plus" (DC++) is by far the most popular.
it's all good. i'm watching that show and playing final fantasy :D
ok so http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html actually has a really good breakdown for setting up the settings that you need. you need to set up a nick name for sure
you should also make sure you are using an open port, and you are in active mode. i suggest going to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and making sure the port at your IP is open. let me know when you're done with all that please.
edit- you should also set up a couple folders on your hard drive- one for the incomplete things you are in the middle of downloading (so you don't share incomplete things), and one that you will use as the main folder for your concerts that you have/download. the main thing to know is it's all for lossless stuff and stuff you can't buy in stores. so no albums or anything. ok when you're done with all THAT, let me know :D
> Can't stop the signal, guys.
I've already gone back to Usenet for some things. If they make me I'll go back to IRC and DCC bots.
I haven't looked in a while I'm sure there are still private DC++ servers where the cost to entry is how much data you have and how fast your connection is. (I remember some used to have a 1 TB entry point when 1TB was a lot of data).
[Hotline](www.macworld.com/article/2031816/hotline-revisited.html), FTP, etc could easily make a comeback as well on the DarkWebs.
Coincidentally the easiest way to get me to stop pirating is to give me what I've asked for for over a decade and Netflix and Amazon Prime have done that.
Do you have any limitations of the applications you can install? Do you have access to the firewall at both locations?
I don't know if it is exactly what you are looking for, but I have found that hosing a private DC++ hub works great for when I need to transfer any file from one of my PCs to another at another location. You can set up the hub to run on a server end and have both systems connect to the client end. Normally at least one of the clients need to have port forwarding set up to make it an active connection while the 2nd can be active or passive mode. While using the client you can browse what ever files you previously enabled for sharing and can select exactly what you need to download. I would highly recommend staying away from the public hub options as they tend to be filled up with malicious content that any decent virus scanner will remind you of if you do try. I only use this program for private hub transfers. It works very well and uses little system resources.
If you are looking for something a little different please provide some more details on your limitations / needs for the type of transfer.
Well DC was Direct Connect, I believe DCC was a variation of it as there where many different DC applications such as DC++
And wow, it still looks the same http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/img/screenshots/client/client_connected.png
DC was a awesome alternative to IRC.
if you live in a students dorm that's connected to the universities network, there might be a dc++ server or similar running (http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/), which is basically filesharing over the local network only. ask other people in your dorm for it. if there is something like this, it should be your favorite method.
because it's restricted to the uni-network no one from outside (i.e. lawyers) can track it and the speed is amazing.
This is a cool idea. We had one at the nonprofit I worked with a few years back, but it was in a huge binder and I didn't get a digital copy. It would be interesting to see them for some of the known brands.
Maybe you could use something like DC++ to set up a hub for sharing these and possibly any other design materials/books people might find useful.
ADC still sounds decent solution. On Mac, you can use ShakesPeer; on Linux, I believe (although I can't remember for sure) that DC++ runs acceptably under Wine.
