That’s the best part, you can’t

IDeserveToBeLoved,

You absolutely can. A good portion of popular trackers have periodicall open signup events. Torrentleech has fairly often open signups. It’s big so it isn’t that easy to build up your ratio when you’re a drop in an ocean, but when you do it can open doors for some more prestigious trackers, although TL should be enough in 99% of cases if you aren’t into some (less popular) niche content. Watch r/opensignups on reddit if it’s still alive and soon enough you’ll be on too many trackers.

notepass,

I think /r/opensignups closed after the blackout

Theres r/trackersignups and the telegram channel r/opensignups migrated to of the same name.

notepass,

Thanks for the info!
I just checked trackersignups and found something spicy :)

It seems like r/opensignups telegram channel is just a bot posting the contents of /r/opensignups to it. So it is dead as well.

Try searching it on telegram for the one with the deluge icon.

odium, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

I’ve got bad news for you, what you consider a few years ago is two entire decades.

No, that can't be right.

Yeah no way, the 90s were something like 10 years ago and… wait now we’re in…
Ohh… Ohh no…

ipkpjersi, w How to get into private trackers

Trackers with open sign-ups are a good place to get started, also trackers with application forms are good for starting out too. If you have friends who are into private trackers and they know you are trustworthy and they have invites, that’s another way.

BlueAure, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

Purdue University still has a campus-only file sharing network called DTella that’s DC++. It been getting smaller, but there were a few members that shared 50+ TB at one point.

metaStatic, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

a few years ago in the late 1900s

Oh man why didn’t you say it was last week!

JackbyDev,

In the 20th century

noisypine, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

I use it, but due to it being more cumbersome, I go to IRC first. If I can’t find it on IRC, I can usually get it from DC++.

pirate,

Are you using xdcc.eu or sunxdcc.com, or are you searching directly through IRC on each of your preferred servers?

noisypine,

Little bit of both. Usually I start with sunxdcc and xdcc.eu, but if I can’t find it, I search in the chats. Sometimes not all packs are listed and the search engines.

highduc,

Not sure if joking or…? If you’re joking it went over my head :)

noisypine,

Not joking. This all works, probably a lot better than you may think.

lauha,

How do you search files on IRC? You’re joking, right?

jayandp,

There are IRC/XDCC search engines. I don’t know their exact method of scraping IRC servers, but they kinda work.

Also, if you know the right servers and channels, most have some kind of search index or bot.

noisypine,

Not joking. There are sites like sunxdcc for searching from the web, and otherwise, !s in chats to search. Works great, honestly.

Shiver me timbers, ye be wanting the megathread

locked pirate chest

XEAL,

TIL!

SweetMylk,

Yeah, I went through them, but seems this type of games are kind a niche. Found only IGG & steamunlocked (most likely those are the same) sources, which are untrustworthy.

Master thread?

3enhjz, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

Became a thing again for me after the death of 32p without a replacement.

bblfrnz,

Exactly, unfortunately dc is the only place where you can find 32p content.

pascal,

What’s 32p?

bblfrnz,

A private tracker that doesn’t exist anymore

frishi,

Aaaaand here’s my mandatory plug for ThreeTwo, a comic book curation app (like Mylar) but with integration with DC++ by the way of AirDC++

Check it out if that’s your thing: github.com/rishighan/threetwo

Apologies if my plug is in bad taste, but I’m trying to reach as many interested users as possible to get them to test and give me feedback.

bblfrnz, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

It is still used. There are lots of various hubs, a bunch of niche hubs with content that is almost impossible to find anywhere else, especially if it’s something really old and obscure, not all of them are public. Speaking of clients, try AirDC++ for instance, thats what I use right now

Kanda, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

Irc, sunxdcc.com has most servers fairly well indexed

peereboominc, w Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?

That is a long time ago that I have heard anyone say that. Wasn’t there a client software called DC++ or something like that?

Discola,

We were using DC++ on campus to share files over twelve years ago!

iHUNTcriminals,

Yup. Where people would share their entire c drive to be able to join servers…

Their entire c drive… Everything.

They'll get your system32!

HackerJoe,

That was super helpful to just grab one or two broken files from any installed software though. I just had a 250GB ISO with 2MB of compressed zeroes to get into servers with ridiculous requirements. Fun times…

iHUNTcriminals, w US Open streams?

There was us open site I used to know about… I think it was goatze or something.
