I never stopped using irc since before even messengers like icq where a thing. Why change something that just works? A friend of mine that works in IT-sec told me recently it’s considered part of the darknet now.
Just want to mention that IRC piracy also works very well for anime. subsplease.org/xdcc and nibl.co.uk for more. It was pretty easy to setup an automated download as well, on android i had Tasker create an automated xdcc request when a new anime aired through termux and xdcc-dl. On PC theres XDCC-AutoDL, much easier lol.
Yes and ebooks and music too. Most channels also allow !subscribe so you get auto download of new releases once they pre in channel. But you need to stay logged in for that.
There are alos good
#prechannels on scenep2p and rizon servers if you prefer your predb in irc. And there are many more servers/channels you can find at https://opentrackers.org/links/warez-scene/
Can IRC be configured to work with things like Prowlarr or Jackett? If searching and downloading could be automated that would be interesting
Try this automated dl works well in my experience
This looks nice, but seems like a standalone. The GitHub issues pirate linked seem promising though!
I think its in the works, but maybe its already added;
Man I feel old. I haven’t used IRC in like 20 years.
Yeah, you’ll be suprised on how many people don’t know about this. Let’s hope this information gets more attention. And you haven’t used irc for 20 years check out some xdcc channels they are very active.
I still love IRC and it is my go to place to look for books. I like to use Pidgin chat client since i got fed up of ever increasing timer on mIRC. https://www.pidgin.im/ is free and allows logging into multiple XMPP and IRC accounts simultaneously.
It’s not 1997 anymore. Use torrents with a VPN like everyone else. XDCC in 2023. Lol.
Yes IRC/XDCC is still very popular and used by many. You might also be suprised that FTP is still used by many. LOL
By automate, do you mean you have scripts to parse for downloads in an xdcc search engine and directly translate that to bot requests?
Yeah, its very easy to script something for automation.
Do you have a repo I could take a look at?
No I do not. What exactly are you trying to automate?
@burgersc12@sh.itjust.works already sent an interesting link. Basically I want to see if I can set up a process similar to sonarr. Where I just need to enter what I’m looking for and the rest (looking for new releases, checking where to download them, downloading) is automated indefinitly according to some predefined parameters.
You can automate everything, but you need to learn how to code first. I’m sure there are some scripts available in the wild, but you will never get what you want until you can code it yourself. But coding a script/plugin for irssi/weechat/ii is very easy. Just need to do your research. You can code it in any supported language by this clients.
Try automated xdcc
I’ll have to check if it runs in wine but thanks, super interesting!
Hex chat and weechat supports scripts
Thanks, I use Konversation but it seems to have scripting as well
