Although the internet is an absolutely huge place, it is often very difficult to find
exactly what you want. There are lots of different methods
to find and download episodes but they all have their disadvantages, with Mirc you have to wait for hours in those tedious
queues, it can take forever to log on to a decent FTP server and a lot of hubs
on Direct Connect expect that you already have gigabytes of files.
There is another, much more personal way of getting episodes, trading.
Trading episodes has a lot of advantages. First of all it's a safe way to transfer
files, when something goes wrong all you have to do is contact the other person
and he'll resend the file. When you download files from a file sharing
program such as WinMX or Kazaa and you loose a download, chances are that you'll
never be able to download the entire file. The people that run these
servers aren't online all the time and they sometimes change the contents of the
server when they find more recent material. So if you're unlucky you might
never be able to complete that download that stopped at 90%.
Another advantage of trading is that you can meet interesting people and
have a really good chat.
So, give trading a try and take a look at our trade
list, or click here if you want to appear in our
trade list yourself.
Star Trek Video gives people that want to share episodes the opportunity to
contact people that want to share too. To do this, we have created a trade
list.
In this list you can find the email address of people that want to share
episodes plus a list of episodes that he wants and a list of episodes that this
person already has.
You do not need some kind of membership to appear in our list.
When you want to trade with a person, you just send an email to that person with
the episode that you would like to have and the episode that you can give in
return. You can find the email address in the trade list.
If you want to trade episodes yourself there are a few things that you need.
- You need a few episodes. When you have nothing to offer yourself,
you probably won't find a lot of people that want to trade with you.
- A decent internet connection is required. Video files are usually
extremely big files so if you don't have a fast internet connection it could
take days to send or receive a file.
- You need a program that allows you to chat with other people and to send and
receive files. There are a lot of these program available on the
internet but the most common are: ICQ (website: http://web.icq.com/),
Windows messenger (website: http://messenger.microsoft.com/),
Mirc (website: http://www.mirc.com).
When you decide to start trading it may be handy to download all these
programs, this will allow you to contact most people on the internet.
If you have an FTP-server, you can give the person you want to trade with an
account on your server.
- Of course you also need someone to trade with. To find a person with the
episodes you want you can browse through our trade
list or you can click here if you want to
appear in our trading list so people can contact you to trade files.
There are few ways to find people to trade with:
- This website: take a look at our trade list
or click here if you want to appear in our trade list, so people that want
to trade files can contact you.
- IRC channels, look around for trade requests on channels or ask for a file
yourself. Some channel operators don't allow you to request files, so
check out the channel rules first.
