There are a few good rooms in DC++ that you can get an awesome collection from, as long as you can meet the room requirements.

Few questions here from a non-tech guy:

What is DC++?
Where would I find it?
How does it work?
What kind of "requirements" are you referring to?

thanks. :D

[Tasty]

Direct Connect ++ is another P2P program. Please go DC++ (http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/) to learn more about it.

The requirements can range from room to room. Such as, one room reguires you share at least 5 gigs of comics (or whatever media that room specializes in, and another room reguires you to shared a minimum of 40 gigs of comics.

Forgotten Realms and Wyld's Retreat are the best for those without massive collections :ph34r:

I've tried this and I find it too be a very slow, very frustrating process. Do you have any tips (Search names, etc.) that would make this quicker and easier? For example, I'm looking for the currently selling "JLA/Avengers" mini-series and can't find it on K-Lite. :blink:

[Bebi]

I red cbr and cbz comic files and you cant search for them on kazaa lite and if you can there few and far between if not FAKE :P

[ZaZu]

Here's (http://tracker.tghc.org/) a BitTorrent comics tracker ;)

[Gutter]

http://www.filesoup.com/

thats all i know, any others?

[SHaka2U]

i just use basic keywords like "marvel" "comic" "justice" "spider" etc...

that BitTorrent prog is looking good, just might get around to installing it :P

was wondering about that soulseek program...is it worth it to d/l and install if the server is never up??? <_<

good luck on the JLA&#39;s

peace

is it like IRC

[Gutter]

BT is good for comics
SoulSeek as well
IRC might have comics but I&#39;ve never seen any using it.
I have yet to figure out DC++ :(


for now my comics are shared on soulseek
I&#39;ll be scanning Mek, Pounded, Grrl Scouts, We Love Porn, Jeannie One, The Couriers, maybe Grendal and a few others soon.
