xdcccatcher.net

Joins all of the active IRC bot channels. Catches and indexes all the bot announcements. Creates a fast searchable index of packs. Also works for packs found on sunxdcc.com

odium,

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…

BlueAure,

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.

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,

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.

3enhjz,

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,

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,

Irc, sunxdcc.com has most servers fairly well indexed

peereboominc,

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…
