Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 You guys going to make an IRC channel somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 The website/forum is much more convenient for the developers. If there is significant demand for one, an official IRC channel for community use could be selected. Keep in mind that the channel would be registered to at least one µTorrent developer (to make it an official channel) but would be maintained and run by selected and elected members of the community.I invite users to post here if they like the idea of a community IRC channel.

Spanky Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I would like to see an IRC channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimman Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 If it catches on it'd be a quicker way to communicate, give/get support etc... but forums store the data better. I'm for it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudg3tunn3l Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 IRC sounds cool. Undernet anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broodhill Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Would be kewl with a IRC channel. The network doesn't matter for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 If there was to be an official channel this early on then I don't know if Undernet would be a good idea. You need to have 10 active people to 'agree' to registering the channel before it's done.Quakenet is similar, you need to have the channel populated for a few weeks before it gets registered.EFnet has no services at all.rizon and freenode seem to both have Services, which would make channel management pretty easy.

fudg3tunn3l Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well I'm already registered at Undernet and don't mind "starting it off", as long as we can get people idling we'll be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well, it's up to vurlix and ludde. You'll need to get their permission etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broodhill Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Quakenet is similar, you need to have the channel populated for a few weeks before it gets registered.You just need four or five people in the channel for ~two hours to get a L-bot which marks that you have registered the channel, so it is not week, if you don't want that special Q-bot. atleast it was for a few weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard it was a few weeks. Quakenet is more for games though isn't it?I've seen freenode used for more development related things, so I think this place would fit in there quite well. I don't know much about rizon, it might be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludde Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I only visit Efnet and Freenode, so if you want me in there, you have to pick either Efnet or Freenode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about rizon, it might be similar.It is just like 50+ users for two weeks, but yeah more for games. I'm hanging at Rizon but that is only a cheat channels, I know there is alot multiplayer-cheat channels there, but that is all I know about it. No idea about freenode thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I only visit Efnet and Freenode, so if you want me in there, you have to pick either Efnet or Freenode.I suppose it'll have to be freenode then? EFnet has no services, so unless you want to set up a few eggdrops in order to keep ops in the channel (big inconvenience) that won't be a good choice. Broodhill: yeah, freenode sounds like a better choice.Edit: #utorrent freenode...[22:52:57] * Now talking in #utorrent-Damme_ is n=Damme@h83n5c1o285.bredband.skanova.com * Daniel WiegertDamme_ on #utorrent #reactos #openttd #fluffy Damme_ using irc.freenode.net http://freenode.net/Damme_ End of /WHOIS list.That guy's there and he hasn't got ops.

Broodhill Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Sure for me, lets wait and see what the vurlix and ludde says about it.There is not anyway to force op if none is op on a channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimman Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'd be happy to help start a channel up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 freenode would be fine. we need to see about that user though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, the more people that idle there now, the worse. We're never going to get ops unless that Damme_ guy cooperates, and everyone who's in there being active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Damme_ is alive. and somehow related to utorrent. but now you've disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryogenix Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'd like the channel to be on Undernet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokushiki Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 if u guys could make it integrated into utorrent itself it would be even better,something like the IRC plugin in azureus.that way users can chat while downloading and also ask for help.

chaosblade Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 so far we are on #uTorrenttemp on irc.freenode.org , #uTorrent will be registered by ludde soon. You should all hang out on the temp channel until the main one is registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hajo Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 ludde siezed control, #utorrent on freenode now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 µTorrent is a BitTorrent client. It downloads files with other BitTorrent clients. It is NOT a chat client. There are plenty of suitable chat clients available elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
