Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torremting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an account i am looking to see if there are any better alternatives which aldready does have a piracy ring like telegram . If you know any share . I am asking this here because i think it is the right sub and i can’t find an alternative anywhere on the web . If it isn’t the sub for this i will delete the post if you request so in the comments.

    Why fuck around with all that when you can go to the OG source(s) of the high seas?

    IRC

    This is where most of your content on NNTP & Torrents come from anyways. Start at Rizon and learn and hang out for a bit and you will see an entire world you never knew about open up to you. No it’s not instant, no it’s not as easy as a commercial app and an email address login, but it’s DEFINITELY worth the effort. All and I do mean all of your content is there.

    Learn your roots & go back to them matey. Yarrrr.

      Are there any obvious fire-and-forget solutions to hosting IRC servers for friends? With Mumble it’s a simple sudo apt-get and you have your voice chat running, but at a first glance IRC seems to be a bit more involved, surprisingly so.

      I am interested. Could you point me to a good tutorial to get started with IRC? I think I used some IRC sites before but they felt more like chatrooms

        IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a chat protocol, and all IRC servers host chat rooms exclusively.

        If you know where to go, you can find bots. You interact with them with private messages, commands like “!download <whatever>”. Upon which the bot will create a DCC (direct client connection) with you and transfer whatever you requested.

        Of course, lots of bots will enforce some sort of requirement on you, membership on some web site or some such.

      I love the IRC protocol. We had to implement an IRC client in networking class and the text protocol is so simple and great.

        IRC works almost the exact same way, there are bots that you can use to request content. It seems like you’re asking for suggestions only to shoot them down without even knowing what the suggestion is.

        Torrenting also works really well as long as you have your client set up correctly - there are many, many YouTube videos about how to set up qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, etc.

        This post should be step 1 for you, no one is going to give you instructions because you didn’t ask for them.

            I’m not really interested in creating a detailed write-up/tutorial. But generally speaking, the client doesn’t matter. I’d go with Revolution but if Goguma works for you, use that.

            The main thing that you’ll need to choose is what server you want to join - you can search online for what IRC servers and channels are good for pirated content. FMHY has resources on this too.

            Ultimately, learning how to find these answers on your own will make things go smoother for you. It has literally never been easier to teach yourself how to do something than right now. Good luck.
