Where do I make a request?

[Reverse_sides]

Thanks for the replies, sorry to sound like a complete idiot but those last two replies are gibberish to me lol. I have no idea what an ICR channel is, or alt.binaries, nor do I know what the proper server is. Sorry.

As I said, I usually just come here, grab the episode I missed and use grabit to download it.

I guess he meant newsgroup not server. You have different groups for different stuff (games, music etc.).

By uploading a file called "REQ: WhateverYouWant" someone might upload it for you.
It's usually easier to upload something (whatever fits the group) and request at the same time. Then you've already done something for it.
You can use a program like PowerPost to post/upload.
There is a guide on it here:

And if you just want to post a message you can do it with some mailprograms or some newsreaders like Newsbin.

Thanks for the info, Ill give it a go. Now to find something to upload...

I don't see how people bother uploading stuff, why can't they just use the proper IRC channels to request? Surely they must notice the huge majority of requests are filled from there; alt.binaries.multimedia, alt.binaries.tvseries, alt.binaries.hdtv.x264, alt.binaries.cd.image et al.

Can you point me in the direction of where I may find the server information for these IRC channels?

thanks

happy thanksgiving!
