Poll: Where do you get your files?

[Luden]

just wondering what most at'ers are using.

 

[mpitts]

I linger in the USENET and hide out on IRC.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I get my files from the Vendor that sells them.....legally.





(or I use WinMX)

 

[Zebo]

winmx, What is direct connect?

 

[scorp00]

needs to be a check box type poll for us who use more than one.

kazaa lite - mp3's, music
direct connect - computer games, apps
irc - console games

file sharing service similar to irc in that you get on someone's shared files and select what you want. cept it's more graphical. also hasn't been updated in a long time, and it's still great.

I buy these small discs at the store called CDs (pronounced Cee-Dee). Then, I take them, rip them with EAC and encode them with LAME. I don't steal off of p2p networks because I don't mind paying for things I want.

Then, I might put them on my iPod.

Why not change the title to "How do you pirate your software/music?"

LOL!

I do the same thing too, except that I put them on my Nomad Jukebox 3.

I do the same thing... Only I use Windows Media Player and they encode in WMA format. They automatically fill in the cd information. Pretty nice. The only thing I download are old episodes of Family Guy and Ren and Stimpy. I wouldn't even do that if they ever came out with some good DVD box sets or something.

 

[SinfulWeeper]

However I feel like getting them. But it's mostly buy.

 

[FoBoT]

ftp

file transfer protocol

invented when the internet was invented, i don't know why you young whipper snappers think you need all this new fangled crap to share a file with somebody

 

[BatmanNate]

I run a half terrabyte FTP server. Of course, it's merely for my personal use so I guess it doesn't count.

Newsgroups are definately the best way to get files.

any tips or hints? I just got into newsgroups, but i post in mostly only text based threads (like car threads). The only things they attach are car pictures and they are attached as a jpeg, whereas a warez thread usually is in some odd scrambled format (BTW, i'm using outlook).

Here is a page with lots of information regarding downloading files from newsgroups. It should answer most questions.

I personally use NewsBin as downloading program and usenetserver.com as service provider because my ISP is not very good with providing groups (if you use usenetserver.com, just make sure to type in all their IPs in newsbin and then it will work just fine).

 

[Luden]

Updated poll.

File sharing is evil.
