What is that?
Im sorry for asking this but what is IRC?
Thanks! Will definitely have to check it out once my brain remembers to remember this.
IRC is a simple text chat protocol.
DCC is an extension for file transfer.
XDCC is a text command definition/protocol for interacting with irc chat bots offering files through DCC.
Oooh so it's my first time hearing and after looking it up, WHY AREN'T PEOPLE USING IT? Like why pay for a VPN, when you have stuff like this? What are the limiting factors for XDCC?
The limiting factor is accessibility/usability.
Having to set up an irc client, with xdcc, and then learning about xdcc commands.
Are there better web search engines than https://www.xdcc.eu/?
