Blane Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Hey Guys, I thought I'd let you in on a cool new way to waste hundreds of hours on your high-speed connections.There's a new file-swap program (a-la Napster) available called Direct Connect, which has a whole section devoted to swapping .SHN files. The name of the group is SHNapster (catchy, eh?) So far there are between 60 and 90 people on at a time, so there's lots of stuff available to download.If you don't know .SHN yet, it's like MP3 files without the crappy loss of quality. An unpacked .SHN file is exactly like a 44.1khz cd track. (see www.etree.org for more info)At any rate, the point is, this new program allows people trading Phish, Dead, SCI, Jazz, etc. to exchange shows without using FTP or any of that stuff. VERY COOL.I've been using it for about 2 weeks and have probably grabbed 10-15 shows. I just put it on before bed, and the show's on the 'ol hard drive in the AM.At any rate, for those of you who might want the Ottawa '94 show (or anything else, for that matter) but don'T feel like doing a snail-mail b&p, I'm going to be sharing that show on Direct Connect. My user name is Unitmonster, so feel free to message me (there's an IM, or chat function) and ask me to open a slot for you to get onto my drive.First you need the program to start this thing, and that can be found at: http://www.neo-modus.com/ Hope to see you out there!BLane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 12, 2001 Report Share Posted June 12, 2001 Great Idea! I was looking over SHNapster a couple of weeks ago, but figured it would very useful for us as a group. It would make it easy to share shows. I'll get it tonight, and look for you. Email me your username. Awesome....totally awesome. - Jeff Spicoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 You just might need to share the direct connect program too. I can't seem to get it. www.neo-modus.com no worky for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 13, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 ok, I've got the setup file on my harddrive. Here's the problem. I use yahoo mail and can'T send a file bigger than 1.5meg and this is a 3meg file. WHAT TO DO? Anywhere I can upload it via FTP? Oh wait, I'll just make it available on direct connect and you can grab it there! But seriously, can your 'FILES' section on this site handle it? I could upload to there if I have a IP and login.

bouche Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 ftp into phishsanctuary.com user: harry pass: hood That's actually an upload directory I set up, without anonymous access. So, send files there. Once it's there, I'll install it, and then I'll direct connect to you and you can send me the direct connect file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 I'm actually only supposed to have 100 megs. But, I don't think it's much of an issue. The admin at Ripnet has always been very leaniant (I have no idea how to spell that). However, I don't think a large set of shn's would fit. I'll look into to getting more server space (for free) for setting up trades. That'd work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Thanks for posting that. I'm giving it a shot now. That'd probably be a good proggy for the files section that hasn't been created yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 hmmm. What's the hub address? I can't seem to locate anything to connect to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 14, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 K, It's uploading right now. Should be done in a few minutes. Let me know if there were any problems.Blane ps. How much data does your FTP server hold? I could just upload the show rather than upload the program to download the show, if you know what I mean....

bouche Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 I don't understand. The first thing I am supposed to do is 'connect' right? But I don't have anything to connect to. Wouldn't I find SHNapster AFTER I connect to a hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted June 15, 2001 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 here it is: 1) Start up DC. 2) Click on Connect (upper left corner, blue icon) 3) In the box that says address, enter this: shnapster.dyndns.org4) in the future, it'll appear in the 'recent' folder under connect.Let me know if you're still having problems. Otherwise, message me when you get on. Blane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Bingo! Thanks, that's what I was missing. the dyndns.org I honestly could not find one single piece of information on this software. wowThanks blane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
