This is my alternative guide to downloading files of freedom without bit torrent.
As more and more ISP’s clamp down on the use of bit torrents sometimes it is useful to have an alternate method. This guide attempts to explain some of the older methods for file acquisition around the internet.
First off I will begin with news servers.
These are private networks that exist around the world. Users can connect to a news server and find almost anything that exists out there, that is a warning. If you search you will find it. It tends to be the first entry for most pirated files. If it ain’t on the news servers it’s probably going to be soon.
This guide is going to focus more on IRC but for interest I will tell you a bit more. To download files from a news server you need to subscribe to a news server provider, a quick search of google will find many.
Once you have access you can then use a listing indexer such as nzbindex.com to search for any binary file you might be looking for. You can then download the indexed file through your browser.
In order to open the file you will need a newsreader client. I use Binreader for linux but there are many good ones out there with plenty of features.
A key note here is the files that your news reader will download are often a large group of rar files. Rar . 001 .002 etc, Sometimes these files can be corrupted over the transfer, in order to combat this there is a file known as a par file. With this set of par files you can repair a broken rar file for the package you download. Once download you should extract the files uses a rar extraction. Often the files will contain a group release file known as a nfo file, open this file in a text editor for the release instructions.
Next up is IRC.
Similar to the news servers, you also have to connect to a server. In this case though you do not need to subscribe to a server, most of them are free. In order to connect though you will need an IRC client, I would recommend Hexchat.
Basically you connect to a server, find a bot that is hosting the file you want and ask it to send to you.
You do this by issuing commands to the bot.
A more detailed explanation involves going to a third party website such as sunxdcc.com and searching for a file you may be interested in. The results page will tell you which server and channel and bot is serving the file. Your job is to connect to it using hexchat and msg the bot.
Often you can click on the link from the browser and it will open your hexchat client.
Once the client is open and you are in the chat room, all you do is type /msg (name_of_bot) XDCC SEND (packet_number) ---
/msg UX-A-02 XDCC SEND #2
The bot will then attempt to send you the file.
Sometimes there will be a queue for the file you have requested. Be patient.
I hope this helps as a guide to get you started on the old ways of downloading freedom files before bit-torrent came along.
