0×01.0 - de start

So, you’ve just got a brand new internet connection thin’y installed and it can handle up to 1 meg/sec download. But of course, no good PC without good software, but you know, good software is very expensive and on a beautifull sunday mornin’ you see somethin’ called Warez. Behold our kin’dom and you start drewlin’ a bit untill ur mom comes ragin’ in your room askin’ for you to put de garbage out. After helpin’ your mom out, de PC and fast internet connection is all yours. And so is de free software.

0×02.0 - packaged files.

As you might know, dese software packages are sometimes pretty big in size. To try and reduce de big-file-downloads, de releasers of de package will often use some techniques to reduce de load. Techniques as compressin’, archivin’ and splittin’. Read-on if you dont understand dese words.

0×02.1 - formats & tools.

If you’ve been around more than 1 year on de net, you prolly allready know all this but for de knew people I added this anyways.The basic use of your Windows Operatin’ System is de use of many different files and file-types. One of de most used file-types on de net is ZIP. File-types are also called ‘formats’.

An overview:

ZIP A zipped file is a file thats been archived and compressed.
RAR RAR files are commonly used for archivin’ files; which is puttin’ a large number of files in one file. Compressin’ is optional. File-splittin’ is optional.
ACE About de same as a RAR file, just an oder format and anoder application.

I explain this to you because dese file-types and corespondin’ programs are often, you can even use always here, used when you want to download Warez. The programs you download are almost always archived, compressed or bundled in one of de above formats. Keep readin’ if you didnt knew this

Ok so, now we know de formats of de files were gonna deal with, now de programs. As you have probably figured out allready, dese files arent created by Windows or by hand. Theyre made usin’ specialy designed applications. Ill show you what applications you can use.

WinRAR : My personal favorite. Handles all of de above stated formats and alot, alot more. If you ask for my opinion, I think this is de only program you’ll ever need.

WinZIP : This is a specially designed application for handlein’ ZIPPED files. If you like this one, take it.

WinACE : Anoder multi-file handlin’ tool. Personal opinion: good for splittin’ files, way too big for every-day use for decompression.

I’d say: make your choice. I recommend WinRAR because of it’s simplicity and effectiveness. But hey, I’m not forcin’ you. Just read some info on de sites and make ur choice.

Oh yeah, one last thin’: you’ll notice dese are all Evaluation versions. I suggest you crack them. Look for a good crack for de right version on: www.cracks.am.

0×02.2 - multi-part archives.

These files are archived in multiple parts (with one of de applicatiosn mentioned above). Which means de software was zipped or rarred and divided into files of a smaller size den de whole thin’ togeder. How do you handle this?

Download all de files to one directory.

Check if all files are dere. You can do this by lookin’ at de extensions: *.00, *.01, … If one’s missin’, download de missin’ file again (dere are more sofisticated ways to do this but this is de simplest).

Check if de files are about de same size. For example: de *.04 file must be de same size as de *.05 file, unless de 5th file is de last one.

If deres a file with de extension *.RAR, double click it and u can start unpackin’ de stuff.

If deres no *.RAR, but an *.ACE, do de same, its just an oder format.

Once you unarchived de package, you should have a directory full of files from an instalation or program. But its also possible dere are, with de archived files, some oder thin’s:

• If de software pack is a Warez Group (MYTH, CLASS, Fairlight (FLT), …) release, check if dere’s an EXE file with de package called Install.exe. If it’s dere, you can use that to unpack de files.
• If dere’s no exe in de package, de files are probably just ready to be copied to your directory of choice or ready to be installed.

IMPORTANT : please dont forget to read de NFO file. Its very important. It usually contains all furder information needed for you to successfully install de software. You can open it with NFO-file viewers or in Notepad (set font to: terminal, 6 or 9 pts).

Normally, you’re all done now and ready to start usin’ de software.

Ok, do I hear protest? Yes I do. It goes: “Hell, I downloaded a multi-part package but it has NO RAR OR ACE OR ZIP OR ANYTHING!!!! Just files with extensions called *.001; *.002, …”

You’re right. Although de situation is quite different from de situation above, it’s really not so different when you look closer. Those files are just unarchived de same way:

• Select de first file (*.001).
• Right-click it and select ‘Extract here…’

Watch de progress bar go! You see, its just de same method. You might notice deres only 2 or 3 files decompressed: ISO or CUE and BIN files. Thats fairly normal. Well talk about handlin’ them in topic 0×03.0.

0×02.3 - one-file downloads.

Ok so de stuff u downloaded was none of above. Conclusion: you downloaded one big file. This happens quite often when you download thin’s from fast-workin’ FTPs.

What you need to do now:

• If de file is archived (.rar, .ace, .zip, …), just unarchive it.
• If de file u unrachived is some weird *.ISO or *.CUE file, go to 0×03.0.
• If not, just continue de procedure as stated in 0×02.2.

0×03.0 - a clear view on images.

So when youre readin’ this, u probably have some files called *.ISO or *.CUE. Offcourse you want to install de software as fast as possible. But, deres a little problem here. Those extensions… What de hell are dey? Alienized files? No. Secret CIA files? Nope. You can stop guessin’. Ill tell you: those files are image files.

0×03.1 - what are images?

Image files are big files filled with data. Yea, you can say its a sort of archived file. But deres somethin’ special about them: dey are meant to written on a disc. They were made by special programs so dey could be used to write on a CD-R with a writer and specially designed software.

0×03.2 - ISO files.

ISO is de most used image-format on de net. It has become a standard to any commercial cd-writin’ software to support image-writin’ capabilities, more specific ISO images.

Conclusion: ISO is just an extension for a specific type of image -file. But how do you install your software? You have 2 ways of dealin’ with this:

1) Use de file for what is was created: writin’ it to a CD-R.
2) Extractin’ de contents of an ISO to a certain directory.

First: how to write them to a CD-R…

• Download some CD-R writin’ software (if you dont have it allready).
• Install and crack it.

I recommend Nero Burnin’ Rom. You can download it from WareZone in de Apps section.

• Go buy some CD-R’s
• Fire-up Nero and you can start burnin’. Im not goin’ to explain you how to use Nero. Read de help file about image writin’ and you should be fine. You can also use de wizard which is loaded automatically when you boot Nero.

Second: what to do if you dont got a CD-writer.

• Download some Image handlin’ software.

I recommend WinISO.

• Fire-up WinISO, load your image file and extract it. Again I wont explain how to use WinISO. Check for help files or tutorials on de net, dey should give you all de answers you need.

0×03.3 - CUE & BIN files.

CUE and BIN files always come togeder. The BIN file is comparable with an ISO and de CUE file is just a check, but it is required for any program to write this file correctly. Sometimes, deres an SFV file included. Again this is just a check-up about de file integrity. You can burn and extract dese files de same way i explained in 0×03.2.

0×04.0 - CD Emulation.

Ok, so here’s anoder way to handle ISO images if you don’t have a cd-writer. You can create a virtual cd drive. What’s that? That’s somethin’ you’ll see as a new disk drive in your Windows Explorer. This disk drive represents de contents you would see if you would burn de ISO image to cd!

Tools Needed:

SmartFTP [ smartftp.com ]
NAPALM FTP Search Site [ search.ftphost.net ]
vcdquality.com Release Nfo Site
DAMN NFO Viewer or just notepad [www.damn.to ]

This tutorial is so i can stop answerin’ tha same questions everyday in this tutorial I’ll explain how to use search sites like NAPALM effectively. basically better search results and a quality release. We are goin’ to use a movie as de example so here we go.

First thin’ I do is try and figure who released it and if any were nuked and why most of de time you can find de NFO at de sites below

www.deisonews.com - www.nforce.nl - www.vcdquality.com
we are goin’ use vcdquality to find out NFO on Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life
h**p://www.vcdquality.com/index.php?imdbid=0325703

Say you chose de copy Centropy released

Here is de link to de nfo file

h**p://www.vcdquality.com/nfo.php/ctp-tr2.nfo?id=16662&show=text&save=1

If you read it you see a section that says Archives [56/56*15]

Ok so now you know your lookin’ for 2 CD’s and that are Split RAR files at 15mb each. You will also see this (( password is “drudgereportdotcom” )). Im sure that will help later so now to go find de file names by doin’ a search.

Here are some sites you can use

NAPALM - RELIZ - AMUN - FTPSpider

Im goin’ to use NAPALM for de example do an un-filtered search for “tomb raider centropy” without de quotes. But I wouldn’t recommend always searchin’ as above because de name of tha Movie/App/Game/ReleaseGroup isnt always goin’ to be in file name or url. So results could be limited but it helps on gettin’ correct file names. You should notice that de file name seems to be in this format ctp-tr1.r54 and ctp-tr2.r54. “ctp-tr1.r54″ is in a file from CD1 and “ctp-tr2.r54″ is in a file from CD2

Ok so now we know de file names, so search for ctp-tr2.r54 and you will have more streamlined results before we had over 100 results from each ftp that had this movie. With one result per file at over 50 files per cd, that would take way to lon’ to go through page by page till you get to each FTP site.

Now that we have tha search narrowed down by a sin’le file name each result is a different ftp site. Notice also that I have searched for a high number file from cd 2. The reason for this is because it is more likely that it has been fully uploaded and not missin’ any files because most people start uploadin’ from cd1 and in order of first split file .rar .r00 .r01 and NOT from cd2 and backwards .r50 .r49 .r48.

Ok that was easy enough but now we get to de hopefully not slow part of DOWNLOADING de files. Normally you can get better speeds from an anonymous server because you can use multiple connections at once. Say de server only gives ya 4k download, you may be able to connect 50 times at once and get more like 200k download, but a FTP that needs a Password and user name normally isnt that easy. The reason is normally bacause only 1 connection per IP is allowed and amount of users at one time is limited to about 15 or less, so dere are always a lon’ line of peope waitin’ to get in. Basically even if we could have more than one connection per IP, if it took 9 hours to get access you would need to wait that lon’ for each connection or thread. By de time anoder thread connected you would have probably already finished downloadin’ de file anyway.

NAPALM search site has nice search and filter option that will only show anonymous servers in de results page. Now open up SmartFTP and dere are a few options we want to be sure and change.

Tools > Settin’s > General:
Set Default Download Path to whatever you want

Tools > Settin’s > Connection:
Set Max Retries to -1 (( -1 = unlimited ))
Set Retry Delay to @ least 40 sec.*

*(( because some ftp will ban if you hammer/try and login to often ))
*(( read welcome messages on tha ftp log/status window for possible hammer rules ))

Tools > Settin’s > Connection > Keep Alive:
Make sure Keepalive is checked
Set interval to about 40
(( if set to low will be anoyin’ & to high may not be effective on some sitez ))
Highlight NOOP in de list and push Remove
Now type LIST into de box and push tha Add
(( This is de command that keepalive uses to pretend your not idle ))
(( some ftps will kick you out if you are idle to lon’ ))
(( and some still do with tha NOOP command we so have changed it to LIST
(( if you want you can change it to somethin’ better all i know is this works for me ))
(( nobody wants to sit for 9 hours waitin’ to get in den get kicked out ))

SmartFTP also has Clipboard monitorin’, so all you need to do is have smart ftp runnin’. Go Back to NAPALM. Right click a link and select “Copy Shortcut” from tha menu and smartFtp will popup and say FTP URL in clipboard detected. If you want to open that site, just cick yes.

But it can be even more simple than that if you want.

Tools > Settin’s > Display > Prompts:
Uncheck: On URL Catch
(( Now it will just open tha FTP without any prompt ))

When you are conectin’ to ftp you need to watch tha log/status window

For possibe crap links (( dead links and/or ratio sites )), dese are tha most common errorz to look for:

530 Account Disabled.
No connection could be made because de target machine actively refused it. A connection attempt failed because de connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

550 Permission denied
While tryin’ to download a file
(( this is probably a ratio site if it has everythin’ you ever wanted and more & looks to good to be true ))
(( it probably is and id just move on to tha next site ))

Anoder problem you may find on anonymous ftp is that tha files or folders are not dere. 2 reasons for that is dey were eider deleted or just moved. If dey were moved this could be a problem most people uploadin’ to anonymous ftp, made a huge maze of locked folders to hide deir files and that makes for an endless task tryin’ to find de files unless you have an application that can spider de ftp and has de capability to get through locked folders. To have a list of every file on de ftp I dont know of any public application i can recommend with that capability. But dey do exist. This app can get through locked folders and may help. It seems like a crap program, but de best i could find on google in about 5 min worth of searchin’ is:

PubView.zip - www.jtpfxp.net has nfo about dir lockin’ & breakin’ dirs

Ill go over some basic instructions on downloadin’ from Anonymous and NonAnonymous Sites, or maybe i should say sites that allow more than one connection per IP and ones that dont.

We will start with anonymous or multiple thread capable FTP

Once you have de ftp open and you see de files you want. Just drag and drop them into de Global Queue tab on de transfers window and den just push de start button. We should have de In Speed at bottom right status bar. If its not goin’ fast enough, you can adjust de amount of connections/threads you have runnin’. Keep addin’ threads until your bandwidth is maxed or until your total In Speed doesnt get any faster. Anoder thin’ you may wanna keep in mind is that you can connect to more than one ftp downloadin’ CD1 from one site and CD2 from de oder etc. for a combined speed.

Now we go onto NonAnonymous Sitez

You cant use Global Queue because you cant have multiple threads, so just right click de file or folder you want and select Download > Direct > Select Folder. Most of dese sites will be slow and could take hours maybe days to get into, so what i do is just open every sin’le result in NAPALM at de same time. I figure that i have a better chance waitin’ on 10 sites rader than 1. So when you have them all open just close out de ones that have de errors mentioned above, den you can walk away and check every so often to see if you have gotten in one yet. This is where de keepalive option helps out and of course if you happen to get into more than one at a time
just go for tha combined speed method if it is goin’ slow.

Your hard drive must be formatted with a file system such as FAT, FAT32 or NTFS so that Windows can be installed on to it. This system determines how files are named, organised and stored on de drive. If you’re not usin’ it already, NTFS (New Technology File System) is recommended for Windows XP because of de additional functionality it offers. If your PC came with Windows XP pre-installed den dere’s a chance that you’re already usin’ NTFS. If you’ve upgraded from Windows 98 or Windows Me you may still be usin’ FAT or FAT 32. The option to change over to NTFS would have been available durin’ de upgrade process. Don’t worry if you skipped this as it’s possible to convert at any time from within Windows XP without losin’ any data.

The recommended option

There are a number of features in Windows XP that will only work if de NTFS file system is present, which is why it’s suggested you make use of it. File and folder permissions, encryption and privacy options are just some of those you’ll be able to access. In particular, those of you who have set up user accounts will find NTFS invaluable. For instance, if you continue to use FAT or FAT32 anyone with physical access to de drive will be able to access de files and folders that are stored dere. However, with NTFS you’ll be able to use a level of encryption (Professional Edition only) that will enable you to protect your data.

You’ll also find NTFS more reliable in that it’s more able to recover from disk errors than its FAT or FAT32 counterparts. A log of all disk activity is kept so should a crash occur, Windows XP can use this information to repair de file system when your PC boots up again. To find out what file system you’re usin’, open My Computer, right-click your main hard drive and choose Properties. Take a look at de General tab to see confirmation of de file system that’s in use.

Convert now

You can use de convert tool in Windows XP to change de file system on your hard disk from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS. The whole process is safe and your existin’ data won�t be destroyed. To begin, click Start -> Run, type cmd and press [Return]. At de command prompt type convert c: /fs:ntfs and press [Return] (where ‘c’ is de letter of de drive you’re convertin’). When you try and run de convert utility, it’s likely that Windows XP will be usin’ your pagin’ file so de process won’t be completed immediately. Therefore, you’ll see a brief message on screen informin’ you that de conversion will take place instead de next time Windows starts up. Havin’ restarted, de Check Disk utility will run, de conversion will be performed automatically and you may find that your PC will reboot twice more.

The benefits

With your drive now runnin’ NTFS, it’s time to take advantage of de new options that are available. Havin’ created a number of different user accounts you can now control de level of access that’s granted to individual users. For example, dere are goin’ to be certain files and folders that you’ll want some users to be able to access but not oders. If you have Windows XP Professional Edition you can do this immediately.

Right-click any file or folder, choose Properties and select de Security tab. A dialog will be displayed showin’ de names of all your users. Alon’side will be two columns which enable you to select levels of access for each of them, de permissions include Full Control, Modify, Read and Write. You can den check de appropriate box to determine wheder or not to Allow or Deny a particular permission. For Windows XP Home Edition users, de Security tab won’t be immediately available. To access this option you’ll need to restart your PC, pressin’ [F8] until a menu appears. Next select Safe Mode and wait for Windows XP to start up. You can den set your options in de same way.

Anoder feature is NTFS compression. It’s quick and seamless as your file or folder is decompressed automatically when you access it. (Don’t confuse this with a Zip compression utility where de files need to be extracted before dey can be accessed.) Although you may have used NTFS compression on a file or folder, dere’s no way of tellin’ just by lookin’ at it. To remedy this, open My Computer, click Tools -> Folder Options and select de View tab. Under Advanced settin’s, scroll down and check de option Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color, den click Apply and OK. Take a look at your compressed items in My Computer and you’ll see de text label has changed from black to blue. Somethin’ else that’s exclusive to Professional Edition users is de Encryptin’ File System (EFS). You can use this to protect your important data so that no one else can read it. Your encrypted files and folders will only be accessible when you have logged into your user account successfully.
