Hey peter,
Hey, I was wrong! You can get the full version of Doom2 at
http://members.tripod.com/among_the_living/doom2.html and get some other
cool stuff!
Happy dooming,
Erik
If you want the full version of Doom/Doom2, go to your
favorite software store, or goto www.idsoftware.com and
order a copy. You can even download a full, encrypted
copy and unlock it with your credit card (don't bother
asking for the password to decrypt it scince it changes
randomly, everytime the program is run. You have to call
a sales rep, and recite the number on the screen to him/her
to get the password to unlock the game). No one is going
to send you the full version of Doom because it's too
big to upload, and it's illegal to do so. Plus, text
encoding makes the file size 3 times or more larger.
A binary needs to be encoded to upload via e-mail or
Usenet, and most e-mail/usenet systems don't like 15 meg
files (Doom is 5 megs compressed, and text encoding
will make it about 3 times larger). Your ISP won't
like this one bit, and you and the sender risk getting
caught and sued for a huge amount of money by ID
software, especialy if the server(s) gets crapped
up by the binary. No one is going to give you an FTP
address where you can download the full unlocked copy
either, because that would also be illegal. Again,
no one is going to help you pirate Doom.

No ture there, a crack came out for Quake full because the encrypted
vesion was included on the CD. It seems to work for Doom too.

Partial true.

Heard of RAR?? It can split things into 1.44 meg or 2.88 megs. COme to

Our isp is happy for us to send 200 meg over the net. Hey they have
hard lines that sends at over 100 mbs per sec. I don't know what ISP
you're using AOL??

Not true there. Many are not sued. It is impossible to track all of
them, and in the case of Doom, a 5 year old software, it mostly let
go.

I'll help him if he e-mails me.
Good luck finding that program. It seems to have completed disappeared from
existence. Besides, the Doom's and even Quake cost between $5 - $15. With
CD, you're guaranteed customer support and you'll have a back up in case you
upgrade your system or OS.

Most ISP's would not appreciate binaries being posted to these newsgroups.
Also, I doubt any ISP encourages users to distribute warez and pirated
software.

Not everyone is smart enough to figure out how to hide their IP address and
are very easy to track down.

Hey you can search for it and get it anywhere. The algrithrom isn't
very hard. But that's beyond the point. Back ups are stupid, just copy
one to a CD (burn) or a zip disk.

Sure they can't stop you though. They aren't obliged either. You can
always get free news servers who are more than happy to provide you
all the binaries newsgroups. Just request doom, domm 2, ultdoom, quake
or quake 2 in alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.games, and people will laugh
at you for not having it, but will happily upload it, and possibly in
bits and pices. Get Fote Agent, and you shall have no problem or even
Out Look Express in fine.

They don't search for it, they can't detect you for uploading a file
or downloading a file. If they want to catch people, they'll first get
the groups. Any way there are a lot of games that one can download,
like newer and 200 megs.

Um.. That is still sending a total 5 megs of compressed data
(balloned to 15 megs), and due to disk limitaions of some ISPs,
you still risk filling up the disk space to the point the server
begins bouncing messages. If the e-mail server allows people
to temporarly go over quota, you could wind up causing other
users messages to bounce, thus causing the system administrator
to investigate.

Some ISPs (especialy smaller ones) still have tight restrictions
on e-mail/disk space. My old shell account allowed only 10
(permanent) megs total for eevrything (email, web pages, etc.), and
this was only a few years ago.

Again, if the e-mail server gets filled and starts bouncing
messages, and the administrator has to go through files and
delete stuff so everyone else can use it, they may find the
5meg file and investigate it.
Again I uses cable, where they allow me to send about 200-300 megs
through the pipes
I too use cable but my ISP (@Home.com) has the alt.binaries.* newsgroups set
to only hold messages posted for the past couple of hours. It's obvious
that they can not afford to have people posting binaries all the time;
especially to non-binaries newsgroups such as most of the DOOM newsgroups
that people frequent.

Sort of OT: Now that the UDP has been brought to bear against @Home, do you
think their policies will change for the better?
