MrBumpy Posted September 10, 2003 Does anyone know if there are any sites or anything that can help you search for books online in .pdf format? I can remember someone earlier mentioned using Kazaa or other file sharing programs...how well do they work? -bumpy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hagakure Posted September 10, 2003 yeah there is a bit on kazaa if you search under the documents setting. depends what you are looking for. specialist sites are probably the best option this site has been in a few posts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zu Posted September 11, 2003 I sometimes use a program called Bearshare which is similar to Kazaa. However, the only drug related books I've found are Recreational Drugs by Prof. Buzz and some marijuana grow guides. There is also a program called DC++ which people use to share files. It's very similar to mIRC in that people have chat rooms (hubs) that specialise in one or two types of files. There are quite a few dedicated to books. The downside to this method is that a lot of the hubs require that you share a minimum amount of data on the same subject (eg you need 2GB of scanned books in order to join the hub). But there are a few that are newbie friendly and allow you to join with nothing to share. Make sure your your virus definitions are up to date before using P2P software.

deaders Posted September 12, 2003 Virus protection is a good idea but basically look carefully at any file you download off kazaa in particular and never run *.exe files you download from there. If its books you are downloading it really should only be .txt .doc or .pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
