Trading.....?

[VDZ]

I'm a n00b here....i don't really understand this trading stuff.
People request things here, then they want to 'trade'...??
What kind of trading? How?

Usually people trade PSX isos and random roms. The most common method of trading is using a FTP, but you can also use Direct Connect, IRC, Emule, etc.

I don't have a FTP...
I am behind a firewall, can i trade trough mIRC then?

Trading of ROM's, ISO's is the usual items traded. Warez, films and music is outlawed though, which you should bear in mind.

As far as the method of trade, well bittorrent is becoming more and more popular, but thats more of filesharing application, a la kazaa. FTP where possibly is probably the easiest, most reliable method - so if you have the means to use such a system than thats going to be your best route.

Thanks for asking, and welcome to the boards

EDIT: Damn, crusher beat me to it.

Requesting is just asking for someone to give you something. Trading is giving one thing for another. Really straightforward.

Well, there are various ways of doing it. One is for one person to set up an FTP server, and have the other upload to it and download from it. Check out the thread in the Computer tech forum for FTP information. You can also use the send fuction of a mesenger like MSN, AIM, IRC, etc. Some people trade links to websites that hve the particular game. It just depends on what kind of computer/connection you have.

Not sure. I'm not really that familiar with mIRC.

Golgo, I always beat you. Face it.

A language filter, WEAK...

Do me a favor man. We are pretty lax in our spam and whatnot, but you are kinda over-doing it here. Try not to double post needlessly, and please keep your posts on track. At least a bit more on track then they've been thus far.

Oh, and if you have any complaints, please take them to the proper section of the boards. I've noticed you seem to have a bit of a problem with the way we do certain things around here, and hey, that's your perogative. But could you please limit your complaints to the Comments/Suggestions/Broken Links/Jobs section of the board? Thanks.

I haven't seen all forums yet, and since after emulation comes computer-tech i don't look at all forums below.
