IP: forumftp.serveftp.com

The Forum FTP is a service run, originaly, by Ctrl_C, and now myself (The FTP is in no way officially affiliated with Roguesci or Roguesci's members.). It is a large collection of files related to everything explosives, combat, improvised weapons, drugs, and general chemistry related. It has also recently expanded to include software both chemistry related and not, movies, a PGP key database for members, as well as free image hosting so long as the images are for Roguesci.

If you would like an account, go here (http://www.roguesci.org/forms/ctrlcftpapp.html) and I will contact you within 2 weeks with either an account or a rejection notice. If you do not receive either in 2 weeks, complete the form again and email me at chemwarrior136@ziplip.com with "process account" in the subject line.

If you would like to upload movies, follow these guidelines: they should be under 1GB (for a normal length movie. Ex: Dune was a two disc set so I ripped it to 3 files), frame rate not below 24fps, and they MUST be of similar overall quality to the ones on there already, meaning very little or no pixelation, encoding artifacts, interlacing artifacts etc. Waste space and bandwidth with crap, and Ill block your IP. The movies directory will be set up seperately once I have some people interested in it. It will not be visible by normal members, only those who ask for access to it.

Also, for uploads-
Login- upload
Password- upload

And for moives-
Login- MovieUpload
Password- movie

NOTE- Hosted images are not available as of yet... Im having some problems setting up permissions for it.

Do the uploads have to be related to E&W? I have quite a few movies, books and applications that aren't related. Perhaps I could just upload and you can filter them out on your end later?

Sure, upload whatever you have. The more the merrier!

Hi chem ! I just finished the upload of some files to the FTP, but, since was my 1st atempt to upload something, I don´t know if it´s all correct... Can you check out ?
war gases - mario sartory
nitrifcation and aromatic reactivity - hogget j.g.
pratical organic chemistry - frederic george mann
the .50 calliber construction manual
RF. power amplifier design
minuteman smg
mac10 supressor construction
a complete **** synthesis for the 1st time chemist
tracers

Sorry if some or all files are already on the FTP...
by the way, i have an cable conection and my PC is conected 24 hours online. I am able to mantain a mirror of the FTP, if you need.

i was just wondering, i have a leach account for the ftp, but i cant access the movies directory, do i have to login using the movieupload account to access them or is it just a problem with my account

You need to email chemwarrior and he he will add the section to your account :)

nitrifcation and aromatic reactivity - hogget j.g.isn't on the ftp but nitration and aromatic reactivity is :p

Will be uploading my OTC pdf today

is the ftp only up at certain times? i never get a ping reply from your address forumftp.serveftp.com

have a few things you might like

The ftp is up 24/7/265... so long as nothing fucks up. Other than regular maintaince, such as backing things up, or defragin a drive, I hope to keep it that way.

Also, concerning movies, you need to e-mail me for access to it. When you do, I will add the permissons to my account... Had I been planning on having the movie folder in the beginning, it wouldnt be that way, but it would be far too much work to add permissons to everyone... therefore, only those who ask for it will get it.

And on a side not, I appologize for the slowness of my replies to requests for acces to the FTP. Ive been rather busy the last two weeks... quite a number of personal problems:( Things are getting better though, so everything should be fine once again:)

Ive processed all account requests Ive recieved. If you dont recieve your reply within 24 hours from now, then assume I didnt get your request and please re-submit the applications. Im sorry for these inconviences, but the ditzy e-mail provider lost a number of my e-mails recently..:(

Once again, Im sorry about the inconviences.

The ftp is up 24/7/265
265 :p obviously a typo
I have upped my OTC pdf its in the uploads folder then in "other"

Woops. Tis what I get for typing too fast, lol.

And awesome. Are you planning to update it any?

Are you talking about my pdf chemwarrior? I am planning on updating soon. Its the newest version ie: 49 chemicals listed in it.

I have a about 10 movies I can upload to the FTP as soon as my unlimited cable plan kicks in. The movies I have are;
American History X
Cruel Intentions 1 & 2
LOTR: The Two Towers
Fight Club
Starship Troopers
Minority Report
Matrix Reloaded
American pie 3
Ali G in Da House
Apocalpyse Now
Italian Job

Also my FTP account; Win XP crashed, so I had to reformat that partition, as a result I lost my account details. Chemwarrior can you please e-mail me my FTP account details?

I was wondering if microsoft visual studio .NET enterprise architect edition was complete
as far as i can see the files are
cd1.rar
cd2.rar
cd3.rar
cd3 parts 1-5 .rar
cd 5.rar
is this a complete set of files, where is CD 4. i only ask because i dont want to spend time downloading however many gigs only to find its unusable.
when will the uploads directory be sorted, i wanter download myself a copy of deadlock (i haven't played that game in years), does anyone have a copy of deadlock 2 that they'd be willing to upload
thanks

I have some games that I like to upload. Can someone tell me if any one of these is already on the FTP ?
deadlock I & II, C&C I, C&C Tibsun, C&C RA I & II, Terror from the deep I & II, Ultima I to VIII, plus forge of virtue and silver seed, Hexen, Heretic, Duke3d, Quake I to III, Wolfenstein and some castle and medieval sims...

deadlock is there
tibsun is there

Dr. DivX 1.0.4 is a shell for the DivX Pro Codec and lets you create DivX movies
in just 3 easy steps.
It includes the brand-new DivX PRO 5.1.1 codec!

Would anyone want 3D studio MAX version 3? I have the cracked version I could upload but I don't want to upload it (251Mb, I lost the origional extractor) unless people are going to use it. If you want to know it is a 3d modeling software that you can do cgi etc with, very powerfull and usually very expensive software, I find it really usefull. (Could be good for people wishing to visualise weapon plans...)

zeocrash - I will try to have visual studio .net cd 4 uploaded within 48 hours.
Also the deadlock game i tried to upload, after failing to resume twice I have decided to give up on it. The size of the entire file is near 700 megs.

Having just pulled down the index:

Total files listed:
file(s) MB
dir(s) MB free

That's quite impressive! Nearly time for a new harddrive!

Edit: Realised it might not be wise to post this... What do people think?

Is it ok to say how much is on the ftp? Number of files?

Passware Password Recovery Kit V6.1 Enterprise

It recovers all kinds of passwords for the most popular office application files, including
Adobe Acrobat (PDF), Lotus 1-2-3/Notes/Organizer/WordPro, MS Excel/Word/Access/Outlook/VBA/Project/MS Mail,
Symantec ACT!, Paradox, Intuit QuickBooks/Quicken, WordPerfect, RAR and ZIP archives etc.....
and encrypted files on Windows 2000/XP EFS partitions.

SureZip Recovery decrypts most WinZip archives in less than an hour regardless of password
used to protect it. At least 5 encrypted files are required in order to process the archives.

I know I'm probably missing the obvious, but can anyone guess why I might not be able to access the upload account? I'm using cuteftp, port 21, pass and username upload. I even tried switching around on the ports and changing from port to passive connection. All kinds of stuff all around.
No chemwarrior I am not attempting to hack your computer on port 80 lol.
This is all I am getting:
STATUS:> Getting listing ""...
STATUS:> Resolving host name forumftp.serveftp.com...
STATUS:> Host name forumftp.serveftp.com resolved: ip = 69.47.50.85.
STATUS:> Connecting to ftp server forumftp.serveftp.com:21 (ip = 69.47.50.85)...
ERROR:> Can't connect to remote server. Socket error = #10060.
Help? Please?

i dont suppose anyone would know where i could get a copy of deadlock, i've been looking for a copy for some months now

Hi all,

Couple of things:-

How often is the index of the ftp updated? I downloaded it, and it is largely out of date, as it appears that the directory structure has changed completely.

Also, could it be zipped? It is a huge file at 1.2Mb, but as plain text it compresses down to 262K!

Given how out of date the index is, this might already have been dealt with, but there doesn't seem to be much free space left on the disk. Under two Gb isn't much.

On another point, when the forum is down for five minutes, or whatever, could someone (Mega?) pop a note on the front page, so I don't panic, thinking I have been banned!?!?! :eek:

The index was created on CTRL_C's FTP server (the old Forum FTP).
Someone has copied this file to chemwarrior's FTP... that's all.

Well...I am trying wsftp now and atttempting to log on the upload account to earn my ftp rights, and I am still having zero success. Anyone else having this problem? Am I missing the obvious? Is the upload account used in a way I'm to stupid to realize? I don't know. In the meantime...are there any copies of windows xp pro on the ftp? I have a bootable corporate and non bootable with most of the hotfixes and sp1 incoporated. If this is something desired on the ftp, I'd love to know how I can acquire access :D What programs is everyone with only upload access using? I noticed someone earlier in this thread was having the same problem...maybe its not just me.

EDIT(In reply to peterthesmarts post)
YAY!!!
I think...

The FTP isn't working for me, I'm assuming it probably doesnt work for anyone else as well.

Finding Host forumftp.serveftp.com ...
Connecting to 69.47.50.85:21
Connect failure

Sorry everyone, the FTP was down while I tracked down a hacker who was trying to gain admin access to my system through the FTP. Soon Ill be sending Mega an e-mail with the violators IP. I believe it may have been someone who asked for access to the FTP but was rejected. Thanks to whoever it was, they managed to change most of the passwords on my system. It took me over 6 hours to fix everything they screwed up.

I have not received the email yet, but you just posted this a little while ago...

Yes!!! It wasn't just my stupidity...the ftp is up now. Upping the bootable xp pro cd now.
Please delete the other one chemwarrior, its only at 14.56 and was a flop on my part.
I'll definately be putting up the one with all the fixes included as soon as this one is done.
I'll try to find deadlock as well in the meantime and up it if it is found.
Assuming someone doesn't beat me to it...
My complete game collection(as I can find at the moment):


Battlefield 1942
Battlefield 1942 Road to Rome
Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons of WW2
Black and White
Black and White Creature Isle
Civilization 3
Deus Ex
Empire Earth
Empire Earth The Art of Conquest
Freelancer
Giants Citizen Kabuto
Grand Theft Auto Vice City
Halo Combat Evolved
Metal Gear Solid with VR Missions
Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter Nights Shadows of Undrentide
Neverwinter Nights Hordes of the Underdark
Postal 2
Resident Evil 3
Sanitarium
Theif 2 The metal age
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3
Unreal 2 The awakening
Unreal Tournament 2003

And theres more I can't find or remember right now...
but shall I just let you sort out what you will keep chemwarrior?
Lots of movies too, but lets not make this post much longer.
I'll send you a list chemwarrior if you want it, or I'll post on here.

I had the same problem as Darkbloodpriest with Cute FTP Pro. Socket Error # 10060. Then I realised I was at forumftp.serveftp.ORG instead of com. If my leg bent the right way, I'de kick myself in the ass for that one. So anyone else that still can't use it, make sure you typed in forumftp.serveftp.com.

ACK! I don't use that key anymore chem. Check your mail I'll send you my private key.

CHEMWARRIOR: I lost my FTP account when windows XP crashed and I had to reformat and reinstall windows XP. Can you please send me new FTP account details?

mega, surely you mean PUBLIC key! :grin:

Chem_warrior, I just uploaded a short batch script to the FTP. Move it to the root of the FTP, run it, and it will index the folders and save it as FTPdirlist.txt on any Windows system. Before you run it, check it matches the following!

--
@echo off
echo Batch script to update the FTP listing
echo Might take up to thirty seconds, depending on number of files, etc.
dir /s > FTPdirlist.txt
echo Finished!
--

Glad you fought off the hacker attacker. I am sure we will see the idiot's IP soon enough.

EDIT: Just a thought, you might want to edit the resulting file header, as it gives the name of your harddisk.

Please do update the index, though, since it is months out of date!

No it doesnt Jack. I can make that say anything I please.. if I was so inclined, I could have it say "Jacks an ass".

Flake- I will e-mail you the account info as soon as I can... right now Im bogged down massively with work to get done...

Mega- Im still waiting for that e-mail.

Also, Jack, my name is Chemwarrior. Not Chem_warrior.

the ftp is up however it says there is a list error and doesn't show any file..

Mega-
The PGP file contains all of the breaches in my system, attempts, etc, along with the offending IP addresses.

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

I uploaded "US Army MD 0006, Basic Human Anatomy" and "US Army MD 0007, Basic Human Physiology" to the FTP.

My first upload worked, but my first download didn't! I got the .1, .2, .3, etc files from the "Incendiary Weapons" folder, but I don't know how to join them. I tried Hjsplit and Axman, but nothing seems to work. Can someone give me a hint, please? Its not my intention to bother you, but I searched google and the forum and I still have no idea about how to join these files.

I was browsing through the FTP the other day and I noticed a preview of an anime upped by NBK. Are forumites interested in Anime? If so I have over 80GB of good anime + what's on cd that I can start uploading. Just let me know. I did upload an interesting video on lockpicking, check it out.

Sorry, chemwarrior, none of the IP addresses you supplied are even close to any person on The Forum.

That's a nice new ! looks like we are a bunch of merry fellows ! Just kidding, but is nice to know that no one on the forum was trying to hack Chem's PC ! Hope you get this bastard wannabe hacker soon Chem.

Chem, do you want software in other languages such as German or Italian?

K, thanks Mega.

And please, no anime! Regular movies are a burden as is... Im going to be needing another HDD soon as is.

Peter, please just keep software to english. All the members on here understand english, and if I start taking software from other languages, the FTP will be full in less than a week. As is, its already around 80GB, not including the movies Im going to be adding soon.... By the end of January, Im going to need to purchase a new HDD... I wonder if there is any way I can get a terabyte sized HDD.... ;)

Perhaps we should divide the forum's ftp like I mentioned awhile ago. I think it would be best(and easier) if we dedicate the ftps.

1. Software/Applications
2. Movies
3. E-books/Movies relating to

Any other ideas?

Yes, but someone could easily upload a file with a similar name, which was malicious. I figured what with the hacking, you didn't need the extra hassle.

Also, Jack, my name is Chemwarrior. Not Chem_warrior.

Oops. My bad. Typo, I think... :o

One way to cut the diskspace in use might be to take sections and unzip them, and bundle them together into a tighter zip. There are quite a few plain text files that could be done with, though it probably isn't worth the effort.

A better way might be to run some software to scan for duplicate files, and lose them. There do seem to be quite a few of those!

And no anime? Damn! I have every episode (two whole series) of Trigun. :)

IDBT,
How would we coordinate the different ftps? I can see spliting feature films off as being a good idea, as without them, there would be a lot more room for text files, etc. on interesting things. Perhaps warez could be split off too.

It might be worth running a quick analysis of the ftp files at the moment. I will do it if chemwarrior updates the index, then we can work out a logical split from the results I post.

Sorry for the extremely newbie questions...
I really don´t know anything about this stuff, I have never been on a ftp.., but When I typed the adress in to the adress field in my browser, it said that it couldn´t find forumftp.serveftp.com
do I have to use a special program to get to it? someone mentioned cuteftp?

Also, "jimmyboy" posted when he couldn´t reach the ftp:
"i never get a ping reply from your address forumftp.serveftp.com"
what is a "ping reply", and how do I know if I get one?

Efraim, use something like www.bpftp.com s dedicated FTP browser.

Also, no, we are not going to split up the FTP. It is good the way it is. I still have over 70gigs of HDD space, which is over double what the FTP size is right now. And when that is filled, Ill purchase a larger HDD, something like a 300gig-500gig one. As is, at the current rate of uploads, it will take between 4-6 months for the current drive to be filled, so we arent in any trouble. And like I said, when its filled, Ill simply buy a larger drive and transfer the files to that, and use this drive as a back up HDD incase of something happening.

Set up a ring of FTPs each one with a dedicated purpose. No offense, chemwarrior, but everytime I goto upload something the FTP has been down. I appreciate the fact that you've taken all of this on by yourself, but it's impractical for one purpose to hold all of the responsibility and liability. Am I alone with this opinion?

Am I alone with this opinion? Absolutely not. The more FTPs we have the higher the reliability. Some of our members already seem to consider running their own FTP server and I would appreciate them doing so.

While I think your heart may be in the right place IDTB I personally do not plan to upload to anybody's ftp other than chemwarrior's any time soon.
The only reason I trust him is because ctrl_c did. Or atleast I trust him as anyone can be trusted in a place like this but thats not the point.
On one hand I agree that UPLOADING STINKS at the moment, but I have faith that the bugs are still being worked out. On the other hand, I don't think the current system is all that bad.
Now if you, IDTB, were a upstanding member of like....2 years...I wouldn't have nearly as much hesitation.
But whats the problem anyways? Why don't you simply set up your own ftp and put it in your sig.
Whats wrong with that? I'm sure SOMEONE will be interested; it just won't be me...
Hey...you could always put up a anime ftp :D

Efraim, if you have a ftp account, you can use wsftp in the meantime to download a copy of cuteftp from the warez folder. You can download a trial copy of wsftp here (http://www.ftpplanet.com/download.htm).
If that doesn't answer your question feel free to pm me.

Multiple FTP servers would be good, but random duplication of files is a bit silly.

Why multiple servers? Cos at 90% efficiency, with two servers, that equates to 99% uptime. With three, it is even lower. It would also allow some load balancing.

Chemwarrior, how fast is your connection? How many users are on at any time, average?

I would suggest SWIM set up an ftp server that could be a mirror of Chemwarrior's. Don't bother duplicating the movies and other big, but fairly unrelated to E&W, files. Then specialise in anime, and we are set!

That gives the Forum FTP better than 99% uptime for the stuff that we are really interested in, and 90%+ for anime and movies and warez.

As Rhadon says, start another FTP if you think you can cope. If I felt I could get away with it on my connection, I would!

There has never yet been more than 5 members on at any given time. Also, my connection is currently 512kb/s, but within a month Im upgrading to T-1, fiber optic setup.

As for multiple FTPs, if your interested, Ill run things in the way Ctrl_C did. You will need to contact me by e-mail, PGP encrypted, and we will discuss things.

The parts should be in the format of IW.pdf.#

The # would be 1 through 16, no 0 preceding the single digit numbers. If there's a .txt extension (like IW.pdf.#.txt) then remove it to be able to reassemble the file.

The file wasn't split using Axman, nor HJsplit, so that's why they don't work. You'll need the .BAT file to restore it, which I've so generously attached to this post. :)

Whoever upped it did every forumite a disservice by uploading the required .BAT file to allow for it's restoration. :mad: I hate seeing people mangle my work. Any idea how long it took to scan that fucker? And what good does 20Mb of unreadable gibberish do anyone? :rolleyes:

Having the file names IW.pdf.# (1-16) and the following .bat: copy /B IW.pdf.1 + IW.pdf.2 + IW.pdf.3 + IW.pdf.4 + IW.pdf.5 + IW.pdf.6 + IW.pdf.7 + IW.pdf.8 + IW.pdf.9 + IW.pdf.10 + IW.pdf.11 + IW.pdf.12 + IW.pdf.13 + IW.pdf.14 + IW.pdf.15 + IW.pdf.16 IW.pdf, I am able to join the files to a single .pdf :), which doesn't work :mad:. Thank you anyways...

I re-downloaded everything, it still doesn't work. My files are all 1.457.664 bytes, except the .16, which is 887.356 bytes; alike the files on the FTP. I smell sabotage here. Someone doesn't want people reading SIPRI's Incendiary Weapons. Perhaps B.U.R.N.E.D. has begun.

Whatever. I have better books to read. LOP 36: Disdain things you cannot have: ignoring them is the best revenge.

Edit: I had 66 posts, posted two times, now I have 66 posts. 66+1+1=66 :eek:

Edit 2: I see. Thank you, megalomania.

Sarevok, this section is running under Water Cooler rules, ie no bans, and no posts count increase.

why does the FTP server keep cutting me off halfway through my download
i've had to resume civ 3 about 8 times. i don't suppose you could look into it if you have a chance chem, it's kinda pissing me off

The connetion is timing out. I dont have a set time-out period, so Im thinking it may be on your end... if you want, send me an e-mail with the log from whatever FTP client you use and Ill try to see if its something other than a time-out.

Also, NBK, Im not sure setting up a file download restriction is a great idea... I could set it for X number of files per day... but I dont much care for that idea..

As for the FTP itself, there is nothing happening with my connection... I have a logging program that logs ever time the my internet goes on or the connection drops... and I havent had that happen since about the beginning of November, and that was only because of a power outage... Im not sure why some people are having dropped connections... As I told Zeo, Ill look into it, but I honeslty believe that it may be the connectoin timing out... I know when I used to connect up on dial-up, it would automatically disconnect me after a certain period of time no matter what I did... If your worried about droped connections though, simply use Bullteproof FTPs client. you can get it at www.bpftp.com It is by far the best FTP client Ive used and it automatically reconnects to the server after a dropped connection and it doesnt harm the file in any way... it acts as if the file were merely paused until the connection is reestablished.

Saravok:

Use the checksum function in HJSplit on the file parts you got, e-mail them to me, and I'll compare it to mine and see if perhaps it's just one damaged file.

Also, did you download the parts in BINARY or ASCII mode? That'd make a difference.

Chem:

I don't see any plausible reason why a person should be able to download a hundred files, or 5 gigabytes of information in one sitting from the FTP. Either they're getting greedy and grasping, or they're trying to rape the FTP, neither of which is tolerable.

People need to learn to control themselves. If you have access, you're always going to have access, as long as you're a member here. So calm down. Don't spend all day downloading everything you can like the first time you connect to it will be the last time and you have to get as much as you can while you can. :rolleyes:

Well.....I personally am getting annoyed with the file permissions. I have attempted upload of part two of the sims collection 3 times now. After about a day of attempts to finish uploading something, the file evidently gets locked somehow and I am denied access. Now unless you don't mind having ten worthless 500 mb pieces everytime I up a large file, you might look into this.
I'm using cute ftp pro.
Now downloads are everything I could expect...albeit a bit on the strange side. I might be downloading something...and then it freezes/stops downloading. So I pause and restart the transfer and evidently everything starts back up ok. Little annoying....but the information I'm getting is FREE!!! It can take as long as it wants to give me the files I want :D

If your uplaods are too big just use a file splitter, hjsplit is freeware think, and there are many others. Just make sure you make a self reassembly bat file when you split the files to prevent anyone from being tied to one particular splitter prog the identity of which remains elusive.

Chem, maybe you could make a folder just for files that have been split up. It would help keep things organized rather than having a few hundred files in the uploads folder. Once the file is completely uploaded, one could leave a note and the file could be easily put back together and checked for errors.

Pete, thats not a bad idea.. Ill have it set up withing an hour.

Also, I honestly dont want to put download restrictions on the FTP... makes me feel like a crotchety bastard, lol. If I do, however, I think Ill set it for about 250megs a day for regular members, and members who are very high contributors, such as peterthesmart, or admin/mods will be allowed unlimited downloading access. This would also help convince people to upload more:) Heck, I was thinking about it before but didnt like the idea much, but it is possible for me to set an upload/download ratio... I could have it set for something like one upload means 10 downloads... but once again, it makes me feel crotchety, lol.

Ill think about limiting the downloads throughout the day. If any changes are made to the way that is, Ill be sure to leave a message stating it.

@Chem - I think that limiting the donwload based on the upload ratio of the member is the most productive way to not clog your bandwidth and incentive the spread of information. On the other hand, maybe it will incentive some members to upload crap, just to have better download ratios.
Why not ask the members to sign their uploads, like does Sarevok, and, based on the quality of their uploads, give them an ammount of bandwidth ?

By the way, I´ve uploaded the 3 volumes of Fedorof`s Enciclopedia of Explosives and Reacted Itens, but I see only volumes II & III. Maybe I have some troubles ? It´s better I upload the 1st volume again ?

Upload/Download ratios simply don't work, look what happened to the "Participation Level" thing on Kazaa.

Also, it doesn't take into account the member's contributions on the forum.

I think that members should be able to download as much as they want so that we get more copies of the files out there, when Ctrl_C's FTP went down, we would have been screwed if existing members hadn't had copies of most of the files.

After all, rogue science is about the free spread of as much information as possible.

Yes that SOUNDS all well and good but its the fact that the people who
had to scan in the pages of the books, decompile and hack the programs,
search out all the volumes of Federoff, take the time to upload all of this,
and decide to share them with all of us might not want Mr John Q. Kewl
to give all of his friends a copy of all of these great things. While I can
easily see the reasoning behind all of this, I don't see how, if someone REALLY
wants to share all of our stuff with everyone on queerpier, we are going to stop them.
I'm all up for fighting the good fight against such illegal distribution :D
But seriously, most people simply are not going to respond to limiting their download.
Would you judge by quality or quantity or a bit of both? Whos going to search thru all
of the uploads and decide whats good and bad as far as how its going to affect someones
download speed? Too much work I say. And if everyone uploads a ton of stuff, and we
all get pretty much unlimited access, we would be back in the same boat.
Take dave the rave there for example. He upped all three volumes of federoff.
I would give him access to download whatever for all time simply for the content and
the sheer amount of work that must have been(assuming you did the work).
But what about someone that only has the newest copy of winrar to upload?
Does that mean he only gets to download one file a day? What if someone
forgets to put their name on a their uploads?
Not worth the effort I say. Someone on broadband can get everything they want off
of the ftp in only a few days anyways.

But, if this is the way things are going to be, I'm all well and good with it.

Johnny kewl won't have access because you have to prove yourself first.

And the members that have proven themselves and still steal things (not mentioning any names... Zyklon_B!) will be found and hunted down and haxored/dobbed in to the cops/spammed with porn/etc.

Is being spammed with porn such a bad thing ;)

It is when it's kiddies, gay men, and german sheisse (sp?) videos ;)

the forum loggs the IPs of its members right? if you give me ZyKlon_Bs IP il ruin his shit.

If Zyklon B had lived in Australia instead of Canada, I would have made sure his door was busted down at 4am by ASIO. To make matters worse, someone has hacked into his computer and placed a shitload of terrorism plans and kiddy pr0n on his Hard drive.
Since Australia has fairly draconian terrorism laws, such as being able to detain a person for 48 hours without a lawyer, it'd be interesting to see how long he lasts. To finally make his life a total misery someone has tipped off the media about him planning a major terrorist attack. So not only does this person get humiliated but also exposed.
I think thats justice don't you?

EDIT: Zyklon B need to have his own title along with RTC aka Eliteforum and anyone else that chooses to steal or fuck with us.
Something like: Ass licker or traitor would be appropriate.

IIRC zyklon_B has a static IP address: 24.203.250.4
All the rest of his his details can be found on this thread

There has been much talk lately of new means for distributing the files which are available via the ftp(such as creating additional FTPs, for example). So, I began to think of an effective method for making the files on the FTP more readily available to deserving members while also preventing unwanted access and saving Chemwarrior some bandwidth. I think the best method for this would be BitTorrent. It's a Peer-to-Peer "fileswarming" application. Its structure effectively discourages "leeching" by basing your download rate on your upload rate. Now, this doesn't mean that if you aren't able to upload as fast as you download you won't be able to get files quickly. Speeds on BitTorrent are usually far better than what I get on the FTP. I would be willing to seed the larger files that I have from the FTP or tar/zip the documents I have and allow members to download them. If people like this idea, a private section of the forum could be made for members who have been granted FTP access. The password file from the FTP could just be turned into a .htaccess file and Torrents could be posted in this forum. The whole process is rather simple. There is the risk of some authorized member passing a Torrent file to an unauthorized person but that's no different from someone just uploading something from the FTP to somewhere else. Personally, I don't think it's completely a bad thing when FTP files are distributes, just so long as it's not-for-profit. On the other hand though, the FTP does serve as a means of promoting contribution to the Forum with a reward. If anyone is interested in the BitTorrent idea, let me know.

Edit: I forgot to mention that somebody(I could possibly do it) would have to run a tracker for the files.

More informatio on BitTorrent can be found at BitConjurer (http://www.bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/)



On a sidenote, Darkbloodpriest: Someone who has contributed as little as you should not bark so loudly. I don't know if I am the same as other members, but you seem rather offensive and annoying(not based solely on this thread but others as well). I think it would be in your best interest and the Forum's to take a less "entitled" attitude. Though I suppose I am in no place to say any of this. Oh well.

Photonic, Darkbloodpriest has contributed a LOT of files to the FTP. Therefore he has a right to make some of the comments hes made.

Also, Im not sure who the fuck did it, but someone fucking uploaded porn to the FTP. Let me catch whoever did it and Ill make sure their IP is blocked permanetly. The FTP is NOT a place for sharing your porn. If you want to do that, fucking use Kazaa or something, but dont fucking waste my bandwidth and HDD space.

As much as I hate to hijack a thread for the sole use of bickering I WILL make my intent known.
I try to only post when I have something useful to say. If you look you'll notice I have only posted 14 times in over a year, with most of that in the last month or so. I'm posting what I know about, which would be software. I could post about E&W, but I'll stick to my area of "expertise" so to speak.
If you read closely into what I have said EVERY single time I have "bickered" at something or someone it has been for a valid reason. I bark so loudly because (ususally)I know what I'm talking about. If my comments are so unwanted you won't see them. Nice way to say thank you darkbloodpriest for what contributions you HAVE made. I'm sorry I've been "annoying" with my helpful hints here and there.
Ok....I just had to get that out. It won't happen again...not here anyways.
Theres always that little email button if you have something to say :cool:

And thanks chem.

Now to respond to what you have said bittorrent is a terrible solution because:
A. There is little control over how the program is built(room for trojans, backdoors, etc) so your version by company XYZ may be all well and good but my version I got from some warez site(as if you are going to see bittorrent anywhere else) might be filled with downloaders.
B. How do I know you are sending me what the title of the file says it is?
C. The versions of bittorrent I have tried are VERY buggy and unreliable. Connection drops, lockups, MY COMPUTER HAD A BSOD EVERYTIME I RAN THE PROGRAM.
D. Have you ever talked to some of the people that run those tracker sites? I've talked to quite a few myself. You got a T1 connection to use for this tracker site? Besides, that is way too much work for my tastes especially when you consider there would be THOUSANDS of files listed on the tracker site. Look into it and you'll see the difficulties that lie ahead for you.

Won't be seeing me using it I'll tell you that. That and the anonymity factor is pretty much nil while the ftp is about as anonymous as we can all hope to get.


Stick to the topic at hand please...(advice I too will take in the future)

(Edit) What inspired such comments anyways? I did't say anything rude or annoying that I can see...unless you count what I said about uploads, but that seems to have been fixed somehow...yay.
Btw, I hope I don't get banned for this...I'll be good. :(

I have a problem, I can´t log in to the ftp for some reason. This is the message I get from the ftp program when I try:

Finding Host forumftp.serveftp.com ...
Connecting to 69.47.50.85:21
Connected to 69.47.50.85:21 in 0.330000 seconds, Waiting for Server Response
220 Serv-U FTP Server v4.1 for WinSock ready...
Host type (1): Serv-U
USER Efraim_barkbit
331 User name okay, need password.
PASS (hidden)
530 Not logged in.

It looks like it wont recognise the password or something.
Do anyone know what the problem could be?

I´m using a ftp program called "ws_ftp pro", if it makes any difference.

That same failure to recognize the password has also occurred at times for me using WS_FTP Pro v 8.02
( by FOSI :) . It may be that it is a bug in the WS_FTP Pro version that we both are using , and I suspect that it very well
could be . There are a couple of different dialogue boxes where you can save your login name and password . There is an option where you can have the FTP proggie open with a connect dialogue , showing a tree of "My Sites" , and you can associate a saved login and password for the forum ftp .
It seems to give fewest of the failed to recognize password errors when connecting from the connection dialogue at the beginning of a session . When you open the program , go to Sites > Add to Sites > WS_FTP Pro Site Profile Wizard and fill out the forms for the profile for the forum ftp . There seems to be fewer errors after the site profile and login and password are saved , than when manually entering the same information . And still occasionally , despite those settings
being correct , the program still randomly seems to pop up a dialogue box for a manual entry of the password , as if the saved password was for some reason "hidden" or not "sticky" . It may be that there is an expiration time associated for the saved password for security reasons ,
and if you don't connect to a saved profile site for awhile , the saved password expires and must be reentered manually . I am not certain about this but it sure would explain things if that was so .

I still don't have my FTP account details Chemmwarrior. I'll upload a few Cd images when I tget the deatails.

Flake, send me an e-mail... I thought I had sent you your info a LONG while back... I have it already set up and everything....

NOTICE-

The FTP may go down durring the next 24 hours. I will not be here to do anything with it so it may go down. That or power may go out, etc etc. Im posting this here merely to let everyone know that it WILL be back up if something happens by midnight on saturday.

Chemwarrior

NBK- Go ahead and get ahold of me if you feel like it. I wont have anything better to do up there, so Ill keep myself accessible.

Hey, chemwarrior, if you have the time could you please dump all the files from the uploads folder to their respective counterparts on the regular FTP so we can access some of that new stuff?

Im working on it Mega... but right now Im more worried about getting the FTP running smoothly with fewer and shorter outages...

I promise that this upcomming weekend Ill spend a good deal of time moving files though :)

Are there any requests for stuff that people want more than anything else? I can start uploading but I don't even know where to start, I have so much stuff. For example I have like 3000+ ebooks on various topics and fiction, apps, games, utils, Army TMs and FMs, some CBTs I think, etc. Craploads of stuff I for some reason feel bad about deleting but if I could put it up where others can get it if they want it and/or I can get it if I need it I could free up some space and help some people out. What do people want first?

Try to get all the forum related stuff uploaded first, like the Army TMs/FMs and any forum related ebooks.

chemwarrior, sorry to bug you, but did you receive my mail ?

Same here, I hadn't logged in to my mailbox for 30 days and the fuckers had automatically emptied it. Sent you a new mail about a week and a half ago.

I got yours a_bab, but I kept getting the message bounced back. As to what you asked, its been moved to the Staff Only section so that they can give it a try, and other files are being moved, renamed, etc.

John_smith, I havent recieved any e-mails from you in about 8 weeks.. try sending it again.

EDIT- Also note that now there is a complete listing of all files on the FTP. It is called- FtpDirectory.txt I contains a list of all files... EXCEPT for those in the Staff Only section.

I uploaded a bunch of TMs/FMs, some stuff on teaching yourself electronics, Richard Feynman's physics lectures and some other various info I had around. It would be helpful to be able to browse the FTP using the upload account so I don't double anything up and waste everyone's time and bandwidth. Or just to have full access so I can see where the gaps are in the collection. :)

It's hard to find E&W related stuff that isn't on the ftp. Most of the latter uploads are duplicates of old stuff.

But there are some gaps and it would be nice to find some of these books on the FTP ;)

- Elizabeth P. McIntosh "The Sisterhood Of Spies - Women Of The OSS"

- Jack B. Nimble "The Construction And Operation Of Clandestine Drug Laboratories" (2nd Edition, please)

- Maynard Campbell "Catalogue of Silent Tools of Justice"

- Maxwell Hutchkinson "The Get Out Of Jail Free Book"

- Maxwell Hutchkinson "The Poisoner's Handbook"

- Ragnar Benson "Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia Of Practical Knowledge And Proven Techniques"
(Volume 2, please)

- Timothy Tobiason "Advanced Biological Weapons Design And Manufacture"

- "OSS Sabotage And Demoliton Manual"

- "The Complete Book Of Poisons And Application Devices"


BTW, Max Payne would prefer Indometacin, right? :D

I've had/read several of the book you mentioned.

- Maxwell Hutchkinson "The Get Out Of Jail Free Book"

An OK book, but not anything you couldnt' learn by reading some true-crime books about escapes from prison.

- Maxwell Hutchkinson "The Poisoner's Handbook"

Total dog barf! Not worth a fuck. Festers "Silent Death" is 1,000x better than this tripe!

- Ragnar Benson "Ragnar's Action Encyclopedia Of Practical Knowledge And Proven Techniques"

Usual fluff-filled P.O.S. (Piece O' Shit) from ragner.

SWIM managed to aquire a restricted catalogue containing small arm weapons. SWIM told me the catalogue had diagrams of the weapon systems, SWIM also asked me to up the catalogue.
The catalogue is in .PDF format and is aprox. 35mb with about 94 pages.

Some forumites who live in European countries with a strict censorship enjoy the reading of (banned)
books which aren't politically correct. Me too.

Be honest, sometimes the watching of Kurt Saxon's video "how to produce ricin in your kitchen"
is 1000 times more interesting and amusing than reading the ricin patent :D

------------------

Here you can read an interesting article about censorship in Germany:

http://www.mundanebehavior.org/issues/v2n1/seim.htm

"...But even manuals for self-defense, such as many books from the US publishers Paladin Press and Loompanics Unlimited, have been seized by Canadian and German authorities: "Get tough! How to win in hand-to-hand fighting by Cpt. Fairbairn, Paladin Press, Boulder, Colorado or The poisoner's handbook" by Maxwell Hutchkinson, Loompanics, Port Townsend, Washington 1988, although they were "sold for informational purposes only". In the USA they were freely available because of the First Amendment; in Germany, they have been banned since 1991 because they contain instructions on how to commit criminal offenses...."

edit: Link added

Hey, whoever uploaded the game Call of Duty to the FTP it is a self decrypting archive, I just wonder what is the password to unlock the thing?

Hi,

FTP application form gives an error message for me. It says use only links from this site. The exact message is below :

quote
bad referrer ( )
remote access not permitted. Use only
forms and links ON SITE!"
unquote

Is it a bug or I am doing something wrong? In addition, the application form contains a field requesting my member number which I failed to find in my profile.
Regards

I've applied for FTP access a couple of times, but I never get any replies. I don't get it! Each time I get a conformation saying that my info. was sent, but I never get approved or rejected. Does anyone know what's going on?

Same here, I've been waiting for a month. Are new people still being added to the FTP?

Ive replied to both of you with rejections.

Is the forum ftp down? Connecting to 10.0.1.128:21 fails, as does connecting via forumftp.serveftp.com.

Either it is down, or my IP has been banned. I cannot upload nor download, as I can't see the server at all. :(

Chemwarrior, why was I rejected? I've been here for a while, and I do my best to hunt down accurate information with which to help people. People have tried to talk to me about projects using books on the FTP, but I can't get access to them. What have I done wrong?

ftp has been down for me for about a week too...

The FTP hasnt been down for a week, lol. There have been people on constantly. Theres three people on it now even.

Also, I dont need reasons for acceptance or not. Just like Mega and NBK are the dictators here, Im the dictator of the FTP.

I've been reading over some of your posts as of late chemwarrior and I've just one question. What's with the holier than thou attitude? They were only asking a simple question!

Hit-man, my post are that way because its generally idiots like you that Im replying to. If you dont like it, too bad, because I dont really care. As long as Im not insulting long standing members, or mods/admin, then suck it up and deal with it.

chemwarrior provides a service for free - you should be extremely grateful if you get it, it's not your right to have it. He can decide to allow or not allow whomever he wants.

I won't be requesting access to that FTP. And I agree that he may be able to allow anyone to use it, I was just saying that it might be quicker just to give a simple answer other than "because I said so".

Wouldnt matter if you requested it or not.:p You'll never get access to it, for the simple ass reason that your a total fucking noob who really hasnt contributed shit other than pissing people, at least me, off.

*gazes into crystal ball* I see you have a short future here on the Forum....

chemwarrior, i seem to have the same problem as jacks complete. have any IP's been blocked at all?

No, none. I had at one time had Axts blocked, but that caused some problems for other members... hence why I dont block IPs anymore.... Im not sure what the problem is. What error message are you getting??

I never said that FTP access was a right. I just feel like I can't be an established member until I have it. Everyone else does. I don't see why I would be refused. This forum is my life!

What if you first stopped whining and started contributing more to E&W related things..

:p Check the "Weapon Plans" thread inthe Improvised Weapons section.

Ossassin, drop it. You arent getting FTP access.

Also, the error with the FTP is on my side. Apparently the connector from the modem to the router here is fucked up, hence why I keep loosing internet connection. Ill be buying a new cable as soon as I get a chance, wont be any later than this weekend.

Hello, i've been out from the net from a while, in case needs any help just leave me a note!

Well, at least you're compassionate, and you don't abuse your power. I'll be sure to return your kindess, should I ever meet you on the street.

Meet me on the street and see what happenes... Im honestly sick of little ingrates like you. You dont like me? Tough luck. Deal with it because I dont like you either.

Everyone else does. I don't see why I would be refused. This forum is my life!

Not everyone else does, if everyone had access it wouldn't be a privilege would it? The forum is your life? There more things in life to worry about than E&W related stuff. Are you saying you don't take interests in sports, girls or anything else? Sad case...

Chem, I think I have every right to be angry. Put yourself in my position. Blindreeper, I just meant that the forum is my little sanctuary. I do other things, too.

Ive been in your position before. And guess what? I applied to Ctrl_C's FTP 8 times before he finnaly accepted me. I have no sorrow for you. Like Ive said already, you dont like it, leave.

Also, stop bitching in this thread because your just cluttering it up with wasted space.

Also, thanks Blind and everyone else for 'backing up' my decision.

Ossassin, if what you're wanting to upload would be actually something new and valuable (e.g. a scanned book) I could understand your point, but since you just downloaded it from the net and the files have already been on the FTP I have to totally agree with chemwarrior.

Let's end the discussion about the FTP account at this point, okay? Everything that needs to be said has already been said. Regard this as a raised warning finger ;).

Hah! And you're calling me arrogant...:rolleyes:

Chem, I keep getting a winsock error, no matter what FTP program I use. Other FTPs just work fine. Any idea what this could be? (prolly on my end)

OK, I'll drop it and reapply later. In the meantime, what do you need me to do?

Vulture, its not on your end. Its my connection. Theres something screwed up somewhere... I thought it was my internet cable... the one from the modem to the router... But I replaced that today and it still isnt working.... Im not sure whats wrong. Ill fiddle with it for a while and make another post if I can figure anything out.

Also, who called you arrogant??? And let me guess, lol, because of your "Stop the Bush Administration NOW!!" thread?

Not to be mean or anything... but you sure do have a tendency to start flame wars ;) Not that Im complainin... they always make for great reads! :p

Ossassin, The point isn´t drop now or drop later... The point is chemwarrior gives his time and money to mantain a FTP, with no expenses of us, the members, just for the love of free information. He can and will decide, with final word, those who will benefit from his kindness and expenses, as any of us does when invite someone to a party.

The only thing he is asking to those who wants be at his party is, bring a beer, or, in forum words, contribute with something new, made by your efforts, a good book, a new patent, some projects or even an pdf of a long time lost website of value.

May be something simple, as a downloaded and compiled pdf of manuals and blueprints of guns, maybe a scan of an retired manual, like the fm 5-31, as celtick does, but must be something made by you.

See, I am a member since 2000, even after that, if you count the old platform and the memorable 1st forum, and I´ve uploaded many books and files, many of them already there or floating on the net, but it don´t make me an rigthfull lifelong user of the FTP, just because any of the files was an work of mine - so far I haven´t aplied to an account -

When I make something usefull to all of us, and when it be at the FTP, then I will aply to an access, and I sugest that you make the same, don´t even say "I drop now and later, I try again".

Do Your best, As does Chemwarrior, Or don´t do nothing at all.

I have a few e-books that since I downloaded I don't know if they are in the FTP or not. So rather than upload it and take up room for nothing I will just list them and anyone who knows whether they are on or not can (if they want) just reply to the post.

-"FM 5-250 explosives and demo"
-US Military Diving (useless file)
-TM-31-210 improvised munitions handbook (only problem with it is that the WR manual is with it no offence to anyone who made it but it is full of BS/misinformation)
-"CIA improvised sabotage devices" (one of the more interesting e-books)
-"self defence nerve centres and pressure points" (not a bad file)
-"2 pistol designs with full templates"
-a couple of rifle e-books like the SKS and m16 markmanship ones.
-e-book: expedient home made 9mm submachine gun. (has pics too)
-autocad 2002 bible.
-CIA explosives preparations
-FM 21-150 hand to hand killing
-home made sten gun (I think)
-and a zip of about 37 files including visual C, hagakure,marine sniper, sniper training,US military survival guide, natures cures. etc etc etc.

I hope I didn't break any of the forums rules by posting this list/post...
and lastly if "anyone" is wondering why I have all these different e-books the answer is that I enjoy learning about shit they don't teach you in school. "information purposes only"

Tiac03, all your books are already at the FTP... Anyway, can you search your public libraries to find any book about our topics ?

A thing that most people don´t realise is that to make explosives we need strong acids, maybe through the chemistry library at your local University you can find some book about the industrial or experimental production of acids. Then you can scan it, make a PDF and ypload it to the Forum. I´m sure that it will grant you some smiles.

By the way, did you get those books at Ruiner´s bookshelf ? Where are you from ?

Dave, I said I'd "drop it." It's an English (the language) expression. I'm actually brainstorming possibilities for things to contribute right now. My library has a comprehensive guide to locksmithing. Would that be useful?

hey chem
is something up with the ftp at the moment, i cant connect to it
every time i try my connection just times out before i have a chance to login
Resolving host name forumftp.serveftp.com...
Connecting to (forumftp.serveftp.com) -> IP: 69.47.50.85 PORT: 21
Connection timeout. No response from server.
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...
Connection closed.

any ideas??

Yeah, but Im not really sure as of yet whats going on with it... I think its my redirect thats fucked up... but I honestly dont know. I think Im going to need to find a new DynDNS service to use since no-ip.com's service is rather horrid... but then again, what do I expect when its free??:(

Hey Chem, I sent in a form a few weeks ago, before/while you were having those virus problems on your computer, did you receive my submission? As I have not got a reply yet :(.

Sorry blackhawk... if I did I trashed it by accident... send it again and Ill take a look and reply back.

Well the only other books that I have then are "Henley's Formulas" (which has an explosives and fireworks section), and some of the old canadian army training manuals. (placing charges properly,sniping, field craft, engineering, rockets and missiles air cadets 3rd year (has a couple of mixtures, and goes over the basics of rocket design),and impovised incendiaries. (as obstacles, but most are designed to use a phosphorus grenade to set off).

I would have to scan them before uploading though.


As for the acid thing I can always check the chem section in the library.
My chem book briefly talks about things like the hazards of Picrate acid, and it talks about the civil war ship mines a bit (because of the H2SO4+sugar igniter). I havn't looked at it for a while but if I find anything about acid manufactoring I will take pics of the pages for y'all, and maybe bring the digital camera to the college's library and "look" through some books also.

Lastly I'm canadian getting more specific than that.... well I can't because if "someone" wants to find me they will need to work for it.

Is anyone having trouble connecting to the FTP? I keep getting this for the last 5 days

Resolving host name forumftp.serveftp.com...

yeah chem's dynamic DNS service is fucking up at the moment so you cant connect to the FTP server unless you enter it's IP address (which only chem knows)

Ossassin:

My library has a comprehensive guide to locksmithing. Would that be useful?

Yes, certainly, especialy if you search some patents and sellers sites to find blueprints of locks, safes and security doors, to ad value to your book. Then, with your new scanned book and your blueprints, you can make your own PDF of compreensive lockpicking, upload it to our FTP and receive some apreciative nods.

Tiac03:

Military manuals are always wellcome, along with formulae books and anything that deals with syntesys and preparation of chemicals. If you find something valuable, the best idea is to photocopy or take pictures of the material and then scan it to upload, on PDF format.

I just tried the ip above, the forumftp.serveftp.org address, and the last one I connected too, but no joy. I get connection refused, or nothing.

Chemwarrior, could we just get your ip off here every so often? After all, anyone who tries the mask address gets to see the real ip a few moments later anyway!

As another cunning plan, who here uses SSH at all? It is far more secure than FTP, as passwords, etc are encrypted, as is all data. I have to use it at work, and there are nice file transfer progs for it, etc. so it looks like ftp.

If someone set that up, it could be even better than an FTP, as there is a real filesystem underneath (*nix, generally) so you can search for file names and the like. Does anyone know if this would be possible? (or even a good idea?)

There's also ECTP, which is an encrypted FTP standard slowing working it's way through the W3 committees, though the server/client software is already available.

Chem's IP is available to staffers whenever he posts. We could make it available as required so people could connect, though we'd sort that out with him first.

well I took some pics of a few pages dealing with outlines of acid manufactoring. short how-to's of Sulfuric, nitric, HCl, acetic and orthophosphoric acid. 2 tables too. My camera was running out of juice so they arn't top quality had to take them as quickly as possible (one page is slightly blurry but readable) and the other has some words "cut off" because of the way I was holding the book but still readable also, the rest although not professionally done are clear.

I will try to get it up on the ftp as soon as I edit it. (adobe photoshop has to be reinstalled on my comp because my "serial number" isn't valid anymore) by the end of the week i will do it as long as I don't get swamped with tests/HW.

Iv tried to connect to the FTP but it doesnt seem to be working, im not the most internet savvy person so could someone explain what im doing wrong. I have CUTE FTP and put in my user name and password but it wont connect.

I can´t connect either, I have tested two ftp programmes, with both the user and pass chemwarrior supplied to me, and the upload/upload account, and I can´t connect either way.

Hay,Chemwarrior.Two months ago, I sent few mails for you, with proceed account for me.None! I sent mails on the Roguesci and ziplip.com both,Nothing! Answer,me please. :rolleyes: :cool:
For upload to the Ftp i have these files:
Bill Holmes Silencers from Home Workshop
--------- 0.50 rifle construction manual
TM 31-201 Incendiaries,TM 31-210 IMH,Colt 1900 Gatling Gun Blueprints,AMMUNITION DATA SHEETS - PROJECTILES TM 43-0001-28,AMMUNITION DATA SHEETS - GRENADES ,AMMUNITION DATA SHEETS - DEMOLITION MATERIALS ,AMMUNITION, GENERAL ,AMMUNITION DATA SHEETS - LAND MINES etc.
45LC/410 Derringer Instructions and Templates,Minuteman SMG,Hayduke Silencer Book ,Silent But Deadly - More Homemade Silencers,Spetnaz Knife and Line Thrower,M203 Blueprints,Ruger 10-22 Blueprint with .22WMR Modifications,Ruger Mini-14 .223 Silencer.
Org synth database zip archive ,and other interesting files. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Chem has stopped useing the IRC channel to. He was on for a little while maby two weeks ago, but I have not seen him since. :confused:

'Tis indeed odd that persons who run the FTP seem to vanish soon after it is all running sweet eg: Ctrl_C

Yes, I've noticed this.

However, _C had the courtesy to pass it on to someone else, prior to leaving.

Chem doesn't seem to have had the same courtesy.

However, all is not lost. :)

A friend of mine in town is planning on getting cable shortly. He's been a member for a few years and I see him all the time. He's talked to me about running an FTP, so I think that's going to happen shortly.

Not only will he run the FTP, but I'll also occassionally mirror the HDD, so an admin will have a full copy of the FTP, so if anything happens in the future, there will be DVD copies of all the FTP files for distributing to other staff for redistribution and posting on the 'net.

And, oddly enough, chem's been here as of an hour and a half ago, though he hasn't posted anything since feb '13th.

Though I wonder why he's lurking? Seems....suspicious...

Anyways, he'll not be seeing this. :) If the FTP is still up and running, which it doesnt' seem to be, proceed to rape and pillage everything you can as it's not likely to be up for much longer.

The IP of his connection is 216.29.205.(193-255). Just change the last digits between 193-255 in your FTP client and see if you can connect. He may still have it running for others, thinking that not posting his current IP is sufficient protection.

I get this when I connected with 228, 241 and 244

Resolving host name 216.29.205.228....
Connecting to (216.29.205.228.) -> IP: 216.29.205.228 PORT: 21
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

But with all other numbers I get this

Connecting to (216.29.205.230.) -> IP: 216.29.205.230 PORT: 21
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Then I got this when using 255

Well since my FTP program you can run multiple connections, I could connect to all the IP's between 193 and 255 at once and have them all open, his IP changes all the time no?

To the Admin, Mods, and Members of Roguescience-

Yes, I have been gone for a while, but that is due to life. NBK told me I needed to get a job and work my ass off, which I have been doing almost incessantly. This is the first day Ive had off since I started a while back. Im in the process of trying to balance schooling, family, FTP, work, and dozens of other things as of late.

I have not been posting because I simply lack the time to write decent responses to anything. I had planned to spend time tonight doing so, but as of right now I am unable to access the Forum, apparently due to NBK banning me. (Note- A member here sent me you're post, hence why Im not thinking that its a glitch or something.)

As to the FTP, I have not simply been using it for others. No one has been. I havent a clue as to what is wrong with my DynDNS, but its fucked royaly. Ive tried several different programs, providers, etc, but none of them work.

NBK, as to backups of the FTP, I offered to send them to you, and have the disks burnt already, but since you never got the last thing I sent, you told me to hold off for the time being.

Concerning people sending me e-mails, Ive replied to all of the account requests Ive recieved, either with a flat out rejection, or something along the lines of "Re-send application after I manage to get the FTP up and running again."

And NBK, I have'nt been ignoring you. Im at work most of the time and dont have a chance to reply or whatever (you know what I mean).

I honestly dont know what more I can do. I've been doing my best to stay up with whats going on with the Forum, but with my lack of time, thats hard to do.

To those that I talk to when I can, I will continue to do so.

To those that want to contact me, my e-mail is available, as well as my instant messengers.


Also, if anyone needs specific files, send me an e-mail with what you're looking for, and I'll do my best to get the files you need to you.

NBK, if banning me is you're final choice, so be it. I don't see a reason behind it, but you're the Admin, not me.

Sincerely,
Chemwarrior

Blah, blah, blah!

Excuses, not reasons, is what I'm seeing.

I worked full-time at a job I hate, work on the DVD everyday, am looking for a new job, and have to move shortly, and yet I still find time to check in here almost everyday and answer my e-mails.

Having not spoken to or heard from him in almost a month, I'm assuming he's hosed, regardless of what he may say once he's noticed I've disconnected his access here.

I'll let him back into our good company IF he sends me the DVD copies of the FTP, but he's not going to be running it any longer, regardless, as the FTP is a "critical infrastructure" type of thing, and can't be subjected to the vagaries of a teenagers whims or life problems.

Of course, how can I get him the address to send them to if he never answers the phone when I call, or responds to the e-mails that I send him?

Blah, blah, blah!

I don't mean to be nosey, but do you really have such direct contact? If so, does it not go against all that you say in a security sense? As you said, he's a teenager and teenagers aren't 100% reliable due to varies reasons. I don't mean to be a smartass, but I have general concern.

NBK can do whatever he wants,whenever he wants,with whoever he wants. I'm sure he takes whatever security precautions he deems necessary. You dont think he uses a maildrop or remailer service or both?
I'm more than willing to act as a go between or whatever. I uploaded quite a bit of quality shit to the FTP before it went down,and I have some great things I'd like to share with y'all. In addition I'd really like a crack at the Federoff files.

I wouldn't run an FTP, but I would run something a bit more secure, like sFTP or something. I would have to spring for a new, big harddisk, but that shouldn't be too much hassle, really. I would, for sure, set up some kind of DNS proxy mask, though.

As discussed elsewhere, the problem is that the forum is full of people who have no ties and no real idea of the other members - any person here, even NBK2000 or megalomania, could be a cop - this whole site could be a honeytrap! (Remember rule 1!) Unfortunately, needs must as the devil drives, so we all use this place, and hope we don't get a visit, or (worse?) banned!

The only way around this that I can see is some kind of hacked/cracked server somewhere, which we can use via an anonymous proxy or two, to store files on, which would be one of a number of machines, all of which sync'd files every so often. It is the only way for a zero trust network like this one.

The other option is for everyone who isn't a cop to put up their hand... :(

It's either this or we all go back to the dark ages of "peck and hunt" for the stray bits of good stuff amidst a sea of shit that is the internet.

As it stands, there may be some risk, but the gains are far greater. In the US, we still have the First Amendment, and we'd better use it while we can, 'cause no telling how long it'll last. When that happens, it'll be time to use the Second Amendment to full effect. ;)

But, before then, you have the collective power of dozens of people, all of the same interest, pooling resources, which results in a far greater effect than the sum of the parts alone.

As for connecting to an FTP with a proxy: I have tried that, but I failed. At first, there are only very few proxy servers which will allow you to connect to an FTP and if you finally find one it won't conceal your IP. That's at least what I have experienced so far.

And even if it worked the method would still not be suited for larger volumes of data because a proxy will always slow you down severly.

NBK, I was poilte in the message I had Wrench post for me, but Im sick and tired of it. You were on my fucking ass for months to get a damn job. Well, I have a job now, and I work daily for at least 6 hours, and thats after 6 hours of school as well... so that takes a 24 hour day down to 12 hours... now we have to figure in sleep, so for me thats about 6-9 hours, so that leaves 3 hours of my own time, in which I do homework for about 2, and then I work out for about 45 minutes, and then I crash in bed. I havent had the fucking time to work on the FTP lately because of that, and I havent had time to post either.

Also, I specifically mentioned to you that I would be disappearing from the forum for a while so I could try to get my life in order. Also, "his girlfriend dumped his ass and apparently he's suffered a mental breakdown" hmm, sorry, Im still dating her, despite your persistent urgings that I "dumb the slut". Sorry buddy, but guess what? I LOVE her. I realize that this is a foerign concept to you, so I wont expect you to understand it, but rather just accept it. (and for the record, her and me are doing much much better now :D)

You want the DVDs NBK? Then drive your ass out here and get them. Im not going to waste more money by mailing you 20 disks, especially after the shit you've pulled over the last week.

You dont like what Im saying? Tough shit. Too damn bad for you. Im sick of sucking up to you on a constant basis. You want to ban me, then go the fuck ahead and ban me.

Members, I know you're going to flame me, so by all means, feel free to do so. 'Cause guess what? I dont give a shit anymore.

To Mega- Thank you for having built this wonderful site. It has been my pleasure to be a member for roughly the last year and a half. I commend you in your effort to make this information readily available to the public, despite the social stigmata attached to it.

To the friends Ive made through here- I will stay in touch all I can, so dont think Im going to disappear on you:)

Also, I encourage all the members who have problems with NBK and the way he is on this board to send messages to Megalomania asking to have this nutcase removed.

Best of wishes to you all,
Chemwarrior

*sigh*

Typical, but not unexpected, behavior. How many times have I given someone a rope and watched them hang themselves with it?

Excuses are like assholes...everyone has one...but chem has many more than the one God gives everyone else.

"Not enough time"

Funny, he used to tell me he only needed 4 hours sleep, so why does he now need 6-9? Lying about 4 hours? Yes, and I knew it the moment I heard it, but why argue about something stupid like that

In the time it took him to say all of the above ranting, he could have simply said "I'm resigning from the FTP host position as I no longer have the time to adequately perform my duties. I'll send the HDD's and DVD copies to whoever the Forum staff decides is up to the task."

Not only would this have shown a level of maturity far beyond what he has so well demonstrated that he lacks with his rant, but would also have earned him my respect for being mature about his responsibilities, and allowed him to continue on as a member, rather than a banned shitHED.

Of course, he'll not show the courtesy and maturity that ctrl_c showed by passing on the HDD's and hard copies of the FTP to the next person, but rather selfishly hoard them all to himself like the immature and spoiled brat that he is.

"MY TOYS!", Mr. Lee Smith screams at his monitor as he reads an e-mailed copy of this in his bedroom, shared with his kid sister reading over his shoulder.

And considering how you couldn't even manage to send two empty envelopes just one state away, for less than $1 total, I've not been holding my breath waiting for you to send the DVD's to me.

You can keep the DVD's chem, because they are my gift to you.

Just like a pirate stranded on a deserted island with his hoard of gold, you'll come to realize that all the "gold" in the world doesn't do you jack-shit worth of good if you have nowhere to "spend" it. :p

Do you see the analogy here, or must I make it Rain Man simple for you?

Though I am curious as to what "shit" I've pulled on you for the last week.

Do you mean disabling your access to a Forum that you don't have time to post on? A Forum that the only reason you've been allowed to continue posting on, after having been previously shamed into fleeing because of the stupidity you've previously shown here as "Raistalin" and "Lee Smith", is because of your useful idiot status as an FTP host?

Is that the shit I've pulled?

This is why I spent so little time talking to the turd. Despite trying to cultivate some maturity of thought in him, I never had much hope of succeding, and obviously haven't, as he is still a child.

Even though he may be a child, a useful idiot still has its uses, so I worked on him at that level. :)

"Try to get my life in order"

You're barely 16. You'll need a lot more than a couple of months to achieve order in your life. Double your entire current life experience, and you just might begin to achieve some order, and no guarantees of that either.

Is it that your head is spun over your bitch dumbing you? ;)

I've heard about your lamenting your loss of the hole, who left YOU, not the other way around, and saying that you're together, better than ever, is pathetic...weak...sniveling...and, well, just plain sad! :rolleyes:

"I LOVE her. I realize that this is a foerign concept to you, so I wont expect you to understand it, but rather just accept it."

What do children (yes, you're still a child) know of love? What you're feeling is hormone induced "|U\/"...the rutting instinct of eons of evolutionary pressure to reproduce the species...not the emotional bonding of two mature souls who are past the merely physical attraction of youthful lusts.

To all those people who don't like me, yet still remain members here for some reason, whining to Mega isn't going to do your silly asses any good. Know why? I leave it to you to figure out, but I'll give you five years worth of clues to help you out. Mega and NBK are two halves of the same mind.

Read the "48 Laws of Power", come to understand the concepts behind the words, and you might start understanding why.

Chems' brown nosing is really obvious, thus being repulsive, and unseemly. Almost like one of the simpering courtiers of the old days, trying to curry favor from the King, but only earning his disgust instead.

I also recall hearing about a certain someone acting like a total asshole when he had a tiny bit of power on the IRC channel, without any compensating talents or skills, and running it into the ground.

Hehehehee....that's what's known as "the pot calling the kettle black".

There's another saying:

"Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

Perhaps all the staff should take a month long vacation, allowing anyone to post anything anywhere, and let you all see what this place would be like without "assholes" like me to enforce some order and discipline here.

The opposite of tyranny is anarchy. Which do you prefer?

*sigh* is right!

Nbk2K, when all the drama is done....I have some FTP space to offer for the good of the un-common man. It is not a flake-ass 50 meg piece of shit, it's a real server with a REAL ip address. It's not hosted from a home, it's on a Real pipe.

You can contact me about it or ban me....whichever your mood is today. :D

Holy shit I never knew Chem was Raistlin.WTF? Can somebody refresh my memory on Raistlin. Doesnt he run Madsci's FTP too? I tried to search under user names for Raistlin and nothing came up. Can somebody refresh my memory some,please?

Yes, shitHED served two masters, both here and there, as chem and rastilian.

Staff discussed it a while back, and it was decided that he'd be allowed to think he was pulling something over on us because of his useful idiot status as an FTP host.

Anyways, nightstalker will be posting the details of the new server here once it's ready to go, but that won't be for another week or so, and it's going to be just for a week to start with, for reasons he'll explain.

Quinn, I'd like to discuss the offer, but all things Forum related are discussed only in PGP. Get it, post your key, and then we'll talk.

Also, I don't like being referred to as "Nbk2k". Either NBK, or nbk2000, please.

Done and done.

Touchy about the moniker, no? I will refrain from using a contraction thereof in the future.

NBK it is. :D

I am using the free version of PGP so you should be well aware of the limitations I have to deal with. I can deal with attachments, but am unable to send encrypted emails without 'aquiring' the license key for PGP8. I have sent you an email with an attachment encrypted by me. I guess if you can read it using my key, we are all good.

As for my moniker, I am not picky.......you can call me shit head just so long as you are aware of the reprecussions. :rolleyes:

I guess if you can read it using my key, we are all good.

I highly recommend reading “PGP for Dummies” before trying to send or receive anything encrypted. It would be NBK’s public key you would use (for instance) to send him a message and expect him to be able to retrieve it. Also, as a favor to you I’d like to suggest you revoke your public key from the server, unless you enjoy seeing your real name in writing for all who care to find out more about you than you might think possible. Just some friendly advice…

Correction: It was your post where I got your public key. Therefore, scrap all and generate a new set of keys, my friend. Annonimity reigns here...

Points well taken and steps taken the remedy the situation.

In this case, I will send you a new message.

FYI, any e-mails sent to me through the forum e-mail form disappear into a black hole in cyberspace. :) Which probably explains why I haven't received it. :p

Send it to me at my forumscan e-mail addy, and use my key, as linked to in every one of my posts here.

Oh, and try finding the PDF tutorial I made and uploaded here on using PGP properly. It'll greatly help you.

I've sent you a short message using your key, which shouldn't include your real name if that's what it is, but rather your member name instead, so we can keep track of who is who on our keyring.

Is it me or are there no links in you posts to the key. Only the fingerprint is shown. No matter...I think I have it down.

Found it and consumed it's informational fire. :D

I have rectified the situation and created a new key set.

I am able to communicate with a couple of people correctly using PGP.

Lets hope this learning curve is over the top.

Thanks for the help!

I found out that the bastards at freeyellow have deleted all the old free accounts. :(

Including mine! :mad:

So, that means no more avatar or pgp key on a free host. Instead, I'll just post it all up here on the Forum. :)

Hey i can put up your avatar for you if you want and your pgp details

Going waaaaaay off topic:

To all those people who don't like me, yet still remain members here for some reason, whining to Mega isn't going to do your silly asses any good. Know why? I leave it to you to figure out, but I'll give you five years worth of clues to help you out. Mega and NBK are two halves of the same mind.

When I read this the first time, I didn't consider it as weird or suspicious because I figured it was just an expression used to describe that Mega and NBK are two persons who have alot in common and who'd be there for eachother.

But, recently some other member pointed out to me that this should maybe be taken literally. Said member didn't want to ask it themselves because of fear of getting banned. So I'm taking the risk. :D

So, are Mega and NBK the same person?

Now, before this question is answered, I'd like to point it that it wouldn't matter to me if they were or were not. The combination of both is very benificial to the forum, so who gives a fuck?

Oh, said member will disclose himself if it's necessary.

Oh that's rich. Fuck no! If nbk is me who the hell have I been writing too all these years? We have similar interests, he and I, but we are from different backgrounds, lifestyles, geographical areas, etc. I am not upset at such a charge, with the Internet you never really know who is out there, but I just have to wonder what possible evidence there would be to suggest such a thing?

Whining to NBK2000 does not work because he is a sociopath, whining to me dosen't work because I am too busy to care :)

Oh that's rich. Fuck no! If nbk is me who the hell have I been writing too all these years? We have similar interests, he and I, but we are from different backgrounds, lifestyles, geographical areas, etc.

Exactly what I told them. But ofcourse, the conspiracy theories will surface now, like he's in denial, etc... :rolleyes:

Actually, I'm beginning to think that maybe you're them too. It would be the perfect disguise....

Then I would delete this post of yours to prevent the truth from surfacing. :p

Maybe we're just denying it to further sow doubt and confusion. ;)

Who's real, who's not, and just how deep does the rabbit hole go?

Is NBK just a virtual entity created by the internet personality known as "megalomania", used as a proxy to punish wrongdoers, while never soiling his own hands?

Or are there really two different people?

We're not telling! :p

Or should it be "I'm not telling" ;)

STFU before they find out we're all members of the jew world conspiracy! :mad:

Hmm the idea of NBK and Mega being the same person... kinda makes me think of that movie Fight Club... They're the same person and they don't even realize it!! :)

This maybe sound stupid, but...
I did exactly what I should do for account, I think. I completed the form and sent it. After two weeks I completed it again and sent the "process account" message to chemwarrior. It is more than month and still nothing happened...
Help everybody?

The "chemwarrior ftp" is down! the community is just buliding a new one. go to the "ftp p2p" section and read the threads. to apply for a chemwarrior account is futile.
