I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

sorry, I may just be absolutely retarded, but how exactly do you download things from this link? I can't figure it out after navigating around the site for a little bit- after searching for something and finding it, it looks like there's a link but anytime I click it it doesn't do anything

It’s IRC servers (think pre AIM messenger) this search engine allows you to find things and connect to the servers to download via the IRC server (like Usenet but not lol)

If you review the link and have an IRC client it will let you download the packs.

awesome, is this the same kind of concept as direct downloads or more along the possible legal trouble lines of torrenting?

Legality aside (fuck the feds and big tech). Yea it’s direct downloading. Not p2p. (I’m like 90% sure) I’ve never used them to dl because of using private trackers.

Also pretty sure courts in America set presidency that a downloaded of illegal files (copyright stuff) isn’t liable.

Trust me none of the big companies kind stealing, at Amazon the fines and settlements were just the cost of doing businesses. Bet your ass they would go after you if you did the same thing however.
