trouble while in mIRC my first time........

mamaree - the files will be in the download folder unless they are mp3's, there's a folder for those too usually.
---when you request a pack from an xdcc bot, you need to look at that bot's ad, sometimes the syntax is /msg botname xdcc send #x (x being the pack #), and sometimes the syntax is /ctcp botname xdcc send #x - but you'll have to see the ad to know for sure - also if you see a bot with something you want on one of the search sites (packetnews, etc) find that bot in the channel's name list on the right side, then doubleclick the bot name nad type xdcc list, that should give you that bots pack listing with the complete ad, including the syntacx to get files from them.
---Mak10 - it wasn't that confusing, but i know what you are talking about so it might have been to others, the only thing i noticed was you forgot to put the # in the syntax, just putting /msg botname xdcc send 1 will not work, you gotta have it as #1 not just 1. man i sure hope i get this tutorial done soon, seems to be alot of confusion about IRC, and yes people, it is IRC not mIRC, mIRC is just a client for using IRC, like excursion, extreme, acid, illusion, torment, or any of the other hundreds of scripts out there. and kiddies, be warned, if you get a script with war tools in it, dont go playing with them on the networks or you are liable to upset a bunch of folks that know more about making your life hell online, whether you're in IRC or not. you dont want to know the true meaning of "we OWN joo". so, please be careful and keep your toys put away. I hold the #(edited) open on about every network i idle on, if you need help once yer in, come and see me._X_X_X_X_X_[small]Darthnip
Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out.

mainly i look for who released it for quality. i've seen screeners done very poorly, and i've seen cams that were perfect. subbed is not a good one to look for, they are just as easily cams if anything, all subbed means is that it has subtitles of another language, usually chinese or arabic or both. screeners are taken directly from the screening dvd or vhs tape, TS or telesync is done with a good quality camera and a seperate audio source, sometimes they are really good other times they suck alot of normal cams are labeled as telesync nowadays due to so many n00bs coming in and getting into the scene, TC or telecine are taken either directly from the film reels and seperate sound source then mixed, or done with a very high quality cam in an empty theater and sound feed digitally thru the projection setup. cams are simply done with digital cameras, sometimes horrible, sometimes great. you really never know what you are going to get unless you look for dvdrip or screener, which is why i would stick with the release groups that are known for very high quality (centropy). But since downloading movies is illegal, this discussion is purely hypothetical, based on what one would do if there were such a place to get these things.

 

yeah esoteric is good, i look for those when i cant get centropy.
