Why should I use ICkStuff?

You could always do the queries yourself using various search engines, but as you probably have noticed, it is much easier to use our tool. ICkStuff is a simple tool that allows you to find multimedia for free.
Furthermore you won't need P2P programmes (like Bittorrent, Kazaa and Limewire) and hence no risk for possible spyware or other malware.

What is XDCC and how does it work?

XDCC is what people used, before there was P2P, and it still is very active. I like it more than P2P since the speed is mostly better and you don't have to share things. You can find the most recent music, video's (serials, movies and anime) and software!

XDCC refers to IRC bots running file sharing programs in general. XDCC bots serve one or more usually large files for download using the DCC protocol. To use XDCC, you can send a private message (query) or send a CTCP command to a bot, using an IRC client.

What is FTP and how does it work?

With FTP you can find a lot of software and the downloadspeed is also very high mostly.

FTP or File Transfer Protocol is used to transfer data from one computer to another over the Internet, or through a network. There are several FTP-servers containing a lot of goodies that are available for anyone to download. The easiest way to access these servers is through a FTP-client.

What is Usenet and how does it work?

Usenet (USEr NETwork) is a global, distributed Internet discussion system. The articles that users post to Usenet are organized into topical categories called newsgroups, which are themselves logically organized into hierarchies of subjects. However, Usenet newsgroups can also be used for posting binaries (a general term for encoded data, like programs or music), which has become much more popular with the introduction of broadband connections to the Internet. You can recognize a binary Usenet newsgroup by the word binaries in the name of the group, for example alt.binaries.freeware.
