How to search on the Internet and little-known unpopular files

Sometimes it happens that you want to download a freeware music album in 2007, released a performer who knows the three and a half men. You find a torrent file, run it, loading comes to 14.7%, and... everything. As days and weeks, and download costs on the spot. You start looking for an album at Google, scouring forums and finally find links to any file sharing, but they no longer work.

This happens more and more often - right holders permanently closed helpful resources. And if you find popular content is still not a problem to find some TV series seven years ago in Spanish can be extremely difficult.

Whatever you needed on the internet, there are a number of ways to find it. We offer all of the following options only to familiarize themselves with the content, but in any case not to steal.

Usenet

Usenet - a distributed network of servers that synchronize data between. The structure resembles a hybrid of Usenet forum and e-mail. Users can connect to special groups (Newsgroups), something to read or write them. As is the case with e-mail, the message has a topic that helps define the subject group. Today, Usenet is used mostly for file sharing.

Until 2008, the largest provider of Usenet store files only 100-150 days, but then began to files stored forever. Smaller providers are content to leave the 1000 days or more, which is also often enough.

Around mid-2001, Usenet began to notice right holders, because of what the providers have to remove copyrighted content. But enthusiasts have quickly found a workaround: they began to give the names of files confusing, protect archives passwords and add them to special sites, which can only be accessed by invitation.

In Russia the existence of Usenet almost nobody knows, can not be said about the countries where the authorities are fighting hard against piracy. Unlike BitTorrent Protocol, Usenet user can not determine the IP-address without the help of the service provider or ISP.

How to connect to Usenet

In most cases, will not connect for free. We'll have to be content with a small file storage time, or low speed, or access to text groups.

Providers offer two types of online access: a monthly subscription with unlimited volume of data to be downloaded or unlimited time tariffs with limited traffic. The second option - for those who only occasionally need to download something. The largest suppliers of such services - Altopia, Giganews, Eweka, NewsHosting, Astraweb.

Now we need to understand where to take NZB-files with meta information - something like a torrent file. To do this, we use special search engines - indexers.

indexers

Visitor indexers are full of spam and virusesBut they are still suitable for searching files downloaded five or more years ago. Here are some of them:

• binsearch.info;
• binzb.com;
• nzbindex.com;
• nzbking.com.

Free indexers that require registration, are more suited to the search for new files. They are well structured, have the content is not only the name but also the description with pictures. You can try the following:

• nzbfinder.ws;
• nzbid.org;
• nzbnoob.com;
• nzb.ag;
• nzbfriends.com;
• usenet-crawler.com;
• drunkenslug.com;
• nzbgeek.info.

There are also indexers only for certain types of content. For example, anizb Anime fans will approach, and albumsindex - those who are looking for music.

Downloading from Usenet

As an example, take "Frazier Park» (The FP) - a little-known film 2011 version of which in 1080p resolution look almost impossible. We need to find NZB-file and run it through a program like NZBGet or SABnzbd.

go to nzbking.com and looking the.fp.2011.

There's only one part available from 3867. You can not download the file, it is marked in red.

Password-protected files (Password protected) usually are fakes.

On the second page we see the normal DVDRip - suitable file size, no passwords.

On this page there is a BDRip and some normal DVDRip, judging by the size and date of download.

Select the desired movie, click "Load NZB» (Download NZB) and import the file into NZBGet or SABnzbd, in which data must be entered Usenet account. When the download is complete, the program will automatically unzip the file and delete them.

IRC / DCC / XDCC

IRC - old protocol for text communication, because of its simplicity, is still popular among developers, administrators torrent trackers and anime lovers. IRC supports the transfer of files through DCC.

Today, there are IRC-channels and even servers, designed exclusively for the transmission of files using XDCC script. It is popular due to its ease of use and administration of bots: the user only has to download the file to FTP, and the bot will automatically add it to the index, and will notify the members of the channel.

There are special private IRC-network programs, the new and not-so movies, music and games. Agency to combat violators of copyright about XDCC know almost nothing, so in such networks can be found a lot of things that are not in other places.

indexers

Most XDCC-bots have a web interface. Content overall orientation can be found here:

• ixirc.com;
• xdcc.eu;
• sunxdcc.com.

Anime can be found at nibl.co.uk.

How to download via IRC

You will need to IRC-client. Will approach almost anyone - the overwhelming majority supports DCC. Connect to the server of interest to you and start to swing.

Western and Japanese animation:

To search for files, you can use the command! Find or @find. The bot will send the results in a personal message. If possible, give preference to @search team - it launches a special bot that provides search results in a single file, rather than the huge flow of text.

Try to download "As the music became free» (How Music Got Free) - a book about the music industry, written by Stephen Whitt (Stephen Witt).

Boat responded to the request and sent @search results as a ZIP-file via DCC.

Sends a request to download.

And accept the file.

If you find a file with the indexer, then you need not look for it on the channel. Simply send your request to load the bot using the command from the indexer site.

DC ++

In the DC-network, all communications are carried out through a server called a hub. It is possible to search for specific types of files: audio, video, files, documents, disk images.

Share files in DC ++ is very simple: enough to put a tick next to the folder to which you want to share. Due to this, you can find something completely unimaginable - something about what you yourself have long been forgotten, but can someone suddenly come in handy.

If something is found, try again later. People often include DC-client only when they themselves need something to load.

indexers

Built-in search finds only the files in the list of users are in online mode. To find rare content, you need an indexer.

The only known option - spacelib.dlinkddns.comAnd its mirror dcpoisk.no-ip.org. The results are presented in the form of a magnet-link, clicking on which files immediately begin to be downloaded via the DC-client. It should be borne in mind that sometimes the indexer is not available for a long time - sometimes up to two months.

eDonkey2000 (ed2k), Kad

Like DC ++, ed2k - decentralized protocol data with a centralized hub for finding and connecting users to each other. The eDonkey2000, you can find almost the same as in DC ++: the old series with a different voice acting, music, software, games, old books for programmersAs well as books on mathematics and biology. However, there are new releases.

How to download via eDonkey2000 / KAD

You need ed2k-client. A good choice for Linux - aMule. Windows users will approach eMuleDespite the fact that he has not been updated since 2011.

Search and download implemented almost the same as in DC ++. Type your query, you get the results from the online users, double click on the file you need to download it.

Look for "We live on the people» (We Live In Public) - a little-known documentary film in 2009, which focuses on internet 90s.

Enter a search term, click the "Start» (Start) and wait until you see the results.

Double-click the file to start the download.

Downloading a file can take weeks or even months. For some strange reason, most users ed2k incredibly low speed internet connection, and in they go online for only a few hours per week. So please be patient.

Soulseek

It is a centralized network for the direct exchange of music. IDM-known in the community and is still in active development. There are group and private chats, the ability to share files with friends and search for the bitrate.

The most popular client - official SoulseekQt. There are also two non - Nicotine + and Museek +.

BitTorrent DHT

All modern BitTorrent-clients can search for peers through the distributed hash table (DHT). This function is used DHT-indexers: they get torrent files with data from third-party DHT-requests and stores them in its database. Through such indexers can search for rare and unpublished torrent files or similar to them, but with a lot of sound.

List of some popular indexers:

• bitsnoop.com;
• godht.com;
• btdb.in;
• digbt.org;
• btdb.in;
• btkitty.bid;
• kikibt.net;
• btdig.com.

DHT-known indexers that do not last long. Therefore, something from the list at the time of publication of the material can no longer work.

Sites and FTP-servers for file sharing

Almost every region has its own sites for file sharing. For example, among the Czechs is popular uloz.toAmong the French - zone-telechargement.wsAnd among the Poles - chomikuj.pl.

The FTP-indexers rarely help to find something useful, but try anyway, you can:
