I have no idea what you mean by passive/active bots. I have heard of passive and active DCC but not this.

I don’t look at the bots’ names, just do a !s and get the xdcc command sent as a private notice

Yup, it really depends on the bot, it can be !s , !search , @search and so on, depends on the person who created the bot …

You need to be registered on the network to be able to PM the bots, the network supports ssl and ircv3 as far as I can see. I am able to get files via xdcc.

sunxdcc seems to be shutting down 😢

It seems like I just got unlucky!

That engine gives wrong results half the time, bots offerings keep changing I guess…

Okay, thanks for confirming.

Coming to networks, the ones mentioned on https://xdcc-search.com/networks should be good right? Have only been to rizon and irchighway so far.

I’m using a VPN (connected to a Mexican server) and freetube seems to work for me atm.

How about we use invidious for linking instead of YouTube ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it :)
