Simple question reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlotaProw · 2021-07-25 02:57 If someone could help me out solving this simple problem, I'd be quite grateful. In searching for a book title, when I get messages such as: >found 107 file(s) for your query: xxx. Displaying 10: From list @xxx found 107, displaying 10: or: >Too many results to display! what command do I use to display everything? Thank you, kind redditors. ~~ EDIT: Few days ago long-distant frined says there’s an online group of current and former smokejumpers you might like joining. > + i don’t have facebook, don’t do discord. > º no, it’s irc. > + oh, haven’t used that in years, i’ll check it out. irc room talks firefighting stories, shares pics and videos. i download some, but have problem asked in orginal question here: how to see full list instead of just first 10 files. ask reddit. kindone, a day before calling me an asshole, attempts to answer. useful information, but that turns out to not solve the issue. still an attempt and on topic. That’s what upvotes are for, right? a day later, unrelated answers that could easily be read in the range of irrelevant to condescending. then vulgar name calling because i didn’t respond with gratitude for the worthless, irrelevant posts. mistake was, perhaps, asking reddit. Solved the problem through trial and error; find command for the directory list. But was reminded again by some--not all--responses here, it’s a good thing first responders don’t waste critical time making a personality test of who they help or some of us wouldn’t help save all the people, pets, houses, property we possibly can. Thanks (at time of update and leaving this as closed) to KindOne for their initial suggestion. And thank you to sciminal for their late suggestion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-07-25 03:23 You should speak with the owners of that XDCC bot. They know more about it than we do and they have control of what it can do and cannot do, like limiting your results to only 10. You could try refining your search by adding more words or whatever in the title you are searching for. Or you could use this for searching: http://sunxdcc.com/ Note: The website is not real time and it might not be accurate and I have no idea when they update it or how often. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P4k3 · 2021-07-25 08:52 Can someone explain to me why people use irc for warez? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nawcom · 2021-07-25 12:41 Unless this is a question on the morality of software piracy, the answer is "because you can". For me, the last time I used IRC for downloading pirated stuff was early late 90s/ early 2000s back when I had dialup internet. Damn did it suck when my modem would disconnect in the middle of a transfer that would take 2-3 days to finish. I think there are far better sources for piracy these days, but to each their own. If IRC XDDCs / fservs are still your thing then keep at it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P4k3 · 2021-07-25 12:43 Nah its a question of why one would use such a shitty way of transfering files when there are good ones. And I get equally confused everytime I see users joining and typing !list....like wtf? Its 2021 not 1990...use bit torrent like everyone else 🤣 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlotaProw · 2021-07-25 15:12 > Can someone explain to me why people use irc for warez? Sure. Right after you explain to everyone why you'd come to an irc sub to bitch about people using irc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CatfaceMcMeowMeow · 2021-07-25 15:14 Don’t ask for help and then be a dick about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlotaProw · 2021-07-25 15:17 Didn't bitch about someone helping. Replied to a person being aggressively unhelpful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P4k3 · 2021-07-25 15:19 I would say main purpose of irc is chatting and communication. Using for filesharing isn't what it was designed for. There are better protocols for that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlotaProw · 2021-07-25 15:31 Works for the purposes I currently need. There are better protocols for many other operations of my work, but for this, irc works the best. Just haven't used it in years and no longer recall all the commands and trigger keys. Attempted to give this reddit sub a shot at answering a simple question to help in a singular matter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-07-25 15:53 If its a movie or show you can just download and start watching within a few second. This only works if your download speed is faster than the bit rate of the file. Don't have to deal with torrents, trackers, and all that crap. I just open another connection in my irc client. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-07-25 15:54 Stop being an asshole. Asshole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-25 16:04 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scriminal · 2021-07-25 16:44 try /msg help :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SlotaProw · 2021-07-25 17:32 thankyou. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-07-25 17:39 >bitch about people using irc. I fail to see how that question is bitching. The person asking it might not have even known of its existence before this question, never used it, or other reasons that we don't know. Stop speculating that everyone is an asshole that questions your questions. https://xkcd.com/1053/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-25 17:44 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KindOne · 2021-07-25 17:52 "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole.

DDL links are often dead links. For some reason IRC uploads eps faster than others
