Hi All!
Just wanted to tell you that on the chaos communication congress there was a talk about old school computer communications by LaForge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvhLK8Mbw_g
I watched this talk was surprised about how much he got wrong. He really seemed to conflate USENET and the Internet, but the two were historically very separate: UUCP != IP.

If you're interested in BBS's (and you ARE, cuz you're HERE!)
and retro in general, this is a really good talk. Lots of technical detail, which is generally lacking from this kind of thing.
If you want a MKV version, there is a 720p copy on Xibalba free for
the leeching.
Hey Ricsi, Happy New Year to you.. :)
fsx_cry is about cryptography ;))))
What is it named?? I have no clue about xibalba.
I have no clue about xibalba.Xibalba BBS. You can search for the MKV version of the video there (xibalba.l33t.codes:44510)
This is a joke, or??

Why on earth would anybody want to download a MKV file over a telnet connection, where it is converted to a serial stream beforehand,
instead of using something that is made for that task as eg. HTTPS or
even SFTP.
The only thing that would be more cumbersome is if you would print the packets out and use RFC 2549 (IP over avian carrier) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2549
This is a joke, or??
If you'd had a look, you would see that Xibalba supports HTTP downloads.
Actually for large files, I'm not a big fan of HTTP(S) either. I have seen transfers abort with "successful completion" too many times when the network is flaky. . I much prefer the FTP family of protocols for that sort of work. FTP hangs in longer, and if it fails, a decent client/server combination supports reget. After that, you have to restart, and caching may even make matters worse.

FTP is a pretty horrid protocol. So bad that OS's have to have special hacks for a *layer 7 protocol* in their kernels.
HTTP(S) supports continuation. I regularly downloads gigs and gigs over HTTP. Torrent is nice of course, if there are many good seeds. SCP
isn't too bad.

It is not a thing of liking or not. It is simply the wrong tool to make files available for an easy download.
Feel free to send me the URL. Would be much welcomed!!

Well you could simply find the file elsewhere - except then you'd have to pass up an oppourtunity to bash BBSes again.

You need to log on to Xibalba and generate the url. Or you could just
find the file elsewhere.

I had never really had issues with HTTP(S) not downloading files completely. (HTTP also supports reget if the server is not ancient).
But anyhow FTP, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS are all truckloads better than the original idea.
(Stuff like zmodem or even xmodem ... shudder :( )
