To Feature: XDCC Bot Pack Lists
We’ve seen XDCC pack lists on this blog before, e.g. those for Aone, Shinsen-Subs, and Anime-HQ bots. That was when I first tried introducing IRC as an alternative means for downloading anime (that is, an alternative to direct download sites).
Months of referrer logs later, a cool suggestion (plus some pack lists) over at comments and some positive responses over email lead me to believe that there is demand for features (a.k.a. reviews) of not only anime DDL sites, but also anime XDCC bot lists.
So, here’s today’s. Oh yeah, to ease detailing, cross-referencing and searching, I’ll be featuring individual XDCC bots (meaning that webpages with multiple XDCC bot lists could be featured multiple times).
1) Toybox’s Packlist @ www.animorc.net
- Usual IRC Nickname: Toybox
- Usual Locations (IRC Server and Channels): #nanashi @ irc.rizon.net
- Content: Episodes from ongoing (e.g. Eureka 7) and completed (e.g. Ichigo Mashimaro) anime series fansubbed by Nanashi.
- No. of Download Slots: 10
- Update Frequency: Frequent/li>
- Video Format: .avi (HQ)
As you can see, I’m not rating XDCC bots on their speed. I’d love to actually, but most XDCC bots give crap speeds to South-East Asian connections (like mine), so I don’t think my personal experience would be useful at all. I will state though if the bot is an edu-exclusive bot (high speeds to university connections only).
Edit: Urghh, the post title makes little sense. Too late I guess.

Hehe, don’t worry. Got a lot more where that came from. Hopefully there’ll be a couple you’ve never heard of.

[…] I didn’t want to download them through humungous batch torrents, so I turned to anime direct download sites… only to find no fast DDL site with Eureka 7. And, turning to IRC, I found that Toybox - a popular XDCC bot serving Eureka 7 - had disappeared. […]
