What search engines and networks do y’all visit when searching for what you need? The search engines on fmhy.net just don’t return the right results and I have to !s on a network’s channel to find out…
EDIT: It seems like I just got unlucky, https://xdcc-search.com/ works mostly, atleast for rizon
Same - have to !s Just gotta overcome the embarrassment
I don’t think there can be a good search engine due to bots constantly reorganizing their offerings instead of just incrementing their list to add a new package.
But if anyone does know a good index that can keep up with the bot’s changes, I’d appreciate it as well.
Whats !s ? Search command in the chat?
Yup, it really depends on the bot, it can be
!s,!search,@searchand so on, depends on the person who created the bot …Okay, thanks for confirming.
Coming to networks, the ones mentioned on https://xdcc-search.com/networks should be good right? Have only been to rizon and irchighway so far.
I primarily use xdcc.eu and download from #beast-xdcc, #elitewarez, #moviegods (irc.abjects.net), the.source (irc.scenep2p.net), #elitewarez (irc.rizon.net), and sometimes #zombie-warez (irc.abandoned-irc.net)
That engine gives wrong results half the time, bots offerings keep changing I guess…
I’ve only had wrong IDs <=10%.
Maybe I got lucky, or it changed recently. Or you got unlucky.
It seems like I just got unlucky!
I use the search engine to determine which network and channel has what I want. Usually it’s the same bot too. Then if the send command offers the wrong item, I just have to !s to figure out what the current pack # is.
