what to download

pclancy · 2003-09-28 16:48:56

have a gig and a half left on the cap this month and want to use every bit of it up. Problem is, I've run out of stuff to download, got plenty of music and want some suggestions for cool stuff to download? and ideas?

Why do you want to use every bit up? Cos you paid for it?
Like you said, you've run out of stuff to download.
Don't stress yourself out. The cap is a limit, not a target.

You like TV at all? I've used my broadband to get some stuff. I'm currently downloading the first episode of the new series of 'Alias' (it's airing about now in the US) and have already watched the first two episodes of 'Angel'. And no I don't use Kazaa to get them because Kazaa is kinda rubbish (altho' it got me the last series of 'Oz' succesfully enough!)

The best place to find movies and the sort I find is IRC.
Or try DC++

agreed - IRC is very good place for downloading all your legal ;0) materials. For example if you would like to get an ISO of a freely distributable version of linux - go to www.ircspy.com and search for it. If u r not familiar with IRC - there are small tutorials on the site. I beleive many things are available for download on IRC (movies, music, games)- but make sure they aren't copyrighted! ahem.

happy hunting

PS
www.packetnews.com is also a good irc search engine.

DC++ is very good once you have a good server, but I have to say Bittorrent is also very good.

Kazaa is a joke now imho.
