I'm currently using a Firefox's addon called Update Scanner to monitor orlydb and VCDQ for a couple of movies I'm waiting for. orlydb seems to be working, but I'm not so sure if it works this way. is there a better way? (I don't have newsgroup subscription)
thanks
IRC:
#pre @p2p-net
#pre @corrupt-net
etc.
thanks for the reply, what are the top channels to start monitoring? is there a tutorial to setup notification for a specific movie? couldn't find much in Google and I'm a total n00b when it comes to IRC
1. Download mirc: http://www.mirc.com
2. Click this: #pre @p2pnet or #pre @corrupt-net
I don't know how to set it up to notify on a specific movie.
I guess it depends on the release, but an RSS of a scene blog might do the trick.
It might do the trick, but it's definitely not the fastest way for you to get notifications. And scene blogs don't post a shitload of releases, just the ones they think are the most important.Quote:

In X-Chat it's Settings->Preferences->Alerts->Extra words to highlight.
I use rlslog's RSS feed to get notifications on the categories I care about.Quote:

If you want a notification, you can set it to highlight or play a noise or whatever. Most people just do a dupe check. Basically in the pre channel type: !dupe release-name (most pre channels work this way) and it will tell you if it is on the net yet or not. Also, if you keep the IRC channel in the background 24/7 it is as simple as a ctrl+f and search the irc channel.
^ Keep in mind if you're doing a dupe check, many networks have a #pre.search or #pre-search channel where you're expected to use those commands, rather than the generic #pre.
