II...<b>===================================<br />[FEBY]@DC++<br />IITKGP (2004 - 2009)<br />MODERATOR for 3 years and core member for KCL<br />===================================</b><br />Really miss DC, especially when I format my computer. I feel these days, even starring at the main chat was so much fun. It has been over 2 years I left KGP, still in a process of getting over it but yet to be fully successfull. Really feel lucky to be a part of that age that saw the evolution. I joined KGP with 80 GB HDD and ended with a 2.5 TB one. Along which I witnessed LAN min sharesize to increase from 5 GB to 25 GB while the total sharesize zoomed from 4-5 TB(s) to an amazing 150TB plus sometimes.<br />Cheers to HIT HI FIT HAIN.febyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433954686924222241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565719990407601970.post-62598414127865602752012-02-06T21:08:42.953+05:302012-02-06T21:08:42.953+05:30Hey Shrey(and Anish),

These days, DC++ is going to the leechers again.<br /><br />All those 'info' about insti monitoring the LAN activity etc. are still going on.<br /><br />6th February, 2012 -> http://i.imgur.com/LnzmC.jpg<br /><br />The minimum share has now been raised to 32 GiB, and will be 40 GiB from next semester.<br /><br />It'd have been great to have met you people. :) Your legend continues. New machine has been purchased ^_^ (Faster processing).<br /><br />I had no idea how the mutter boards were maintained, but I've hosted phpBB based boards on the machine now. The response isn't what I expected to be(from the currently existing random placed posts of HiT Hi FiT Hai).<br /><br />Once again, :respect: to all of you guys(/girls?). Oh! One last thing, LAN have been upgraded to 1Gbps connections, so speeds like 60-70 MiBps are common. :D<br /><br />-hjpotter92<br />Currently, 2nd year in 5 year M.Sc. course.<br />(I think my last comment wasn't submitted because of time negotiation)hjpotter92https://www.blogger.com/profile/05287434855479635007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565719990407601970.post-60174737334031886032011-12-02T14:43:23.266+05:302011-12-02T14:43:23.266+05:30To all those great admins and huha users of KGP LA...To all those great admins and huha users of KGP LAN.<br />Now(Autumn 2011) the Hub (Hit Hi Fit Hai) has been enhanced with a few more features , and the present sharesize is almost 150 TB avg ,with some peaks like 220TB reached.The present Gods of DC++ are abu, [5.0_Sinister],Shubhendu_A_D,etc adding lots of new stuff daily.<br />the MUTTER forum which was talked about was closed maybe in 2009 but was re-opened with coding by [hjpotter92] and Brick introducing it as "BHAAT ONLINE"<br />Mainchat is still existant and relieving the trollers. and yeah spamming still continues ;).<br />The Hub admin is KGBRULES,the predecessors being yeban and [NPower].<br /><br /> <br />The gaming community formed as a group and goes by the name KCL- Kharagpur Cyber League organizing gaming tourneys during Springfest and Kshitij.vamsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764374159763906857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565719990407601970.post-9198301546591008442011-11-06T15:02:19.449+05:302011-11-06T15:02:19.449+05:30Just stumbled upon this, its awesome specially the...Just stumbled upon this, its awesome specially the part where you tell how the term "bhajan" originated !<br />I am in IIT delhi currently and having seen the insti lan at iitb and you mentioning it here , delhi surely sucks.<br />Good article man !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565719990407601970.post-7634089053484062272011-11-02T14:54:56.823+05:302011-11-02T14:54:56.823+05:30Delhi does not have insti lan hub, every hostel ha...Delhi does not have insti lan hub, every hostel has indiviual lan hub,:(ishannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565719990407601970.post-47175456763784300882011-07-27T20:03:00.269+05:302011-07-27T20:03:00.269+05:30refreshed that golden period of my life ..
