I use it, but due to it being more cumbersome, I go to IRC first. If I can't find it on IRC, I can usually get it from DC++.
Not sure if joking or...? If you're joking it went over my head :)
Not joking. This all works, probably a lot better than you may think.
How do you search files on IRC? You're joking, right?
Not joking. There are sites like sunxdcc for searching from the web, and otherwise, !s in chats to search. Works great, honestly.
Are you using xdcc.eu or sunxdcc.com, or are you searching directly through IRC on each of your preferred servers?
Little bit of both. Usually I start with sunxdcc and xdcc.eu, but if I can't find it, I search in the chats. Sometimes not all packs are listed and the search engines.
Thanks for the answer. That's mostly been my strategy as well. Sunxdcc has some stuff indexed that xdcc.eu is missing, it seems. Do you know of any networks/channels that are not even indexed by these sites?
I don't. I would imagine ones that aren't indexed, probably aren't because they are private, but that's a guess.
You're probably right about that.
