Rules

These are the 10 Crack Commandments. Break them and you will be banned.

1. Ops might help you if you need help, just ask politely. Ops are empowered to enforce all rules as they see fit.
2. One search per 30 seconds.
3. Do not do fake searches.
4. Racist comments will not be tolerated.
5. MP3 scripts are allowed but do not abuse them.
6. Discussions comparing rap artists/groups are allowed, but keep it half-way intelligent.
7. Do not repeat yourself. Especially, do not repeatedly ask if anyone has a certain album.
8. Do not type in ALL CAPS. This is annoying and is considered the irc equivalent of yelling.
9. Keep your language and conduct within reasonable limits. No hurtful jokes/comments, no harassment, no spam.
10. Do not change nicknames excessively. Any type of flood strictly prohibited.

Abide by the rules and you might not be banned. :)

Ex.

,etc

OR
If the search does not return any results you will not recieve a private message.

3. What do those messages mean? (Most are self explanatory)
File: This is the name of the pack.
Size: This is the size of the pack in megabytes.
Slots: This is the number of send slots available. If there are none open, you will be placed in queue.
Record: This is the fastest this particular bot has sent a file to anyone.
Current: This is how fast the bot is sending right now.
Status: This is wether the bot is online or offline
Trigger: This is the most important part. This is the trigger to get the file.

4. Stats: Results: (30) out of (2288) packs. How do I get the other 15 results?
You can't. You have to refine your search.
Ex. Instead of !search 2pac, try !search 2pac Eyez

5. OK, now now that I've found it how do I get it?
If you wanted 2pac-Live-2004-SUT (from example above) you would type /msg [RAP]-SLiM-4069 xdcc send #29

6. What Now?
Next 1 of 2 things will happen. Either you will begin to download the pack or you will placed in queue (in line).
If you are placed in queue, you should recieve a message telling you what number you are in line.
Ex. [04:18] -[RAP]-[MX]-13540- *** All Slots Full, Added you to the main queue in position 5. To Remove youself at a later time type "/msg [RAP]-[MX]-13540 xdcc remove"
This means I am in line for the file and there are 5 people in front of you (4 others in queue and the person who is currently downloading)
While you're in queue you will recieve messages periodically letting you know your packs' current status.
Ex. -[05:37] [RAP]-[MX]-13540- Queued 0h19m for "Jon_B-R_U_Still_Down-Remix_CDS-2004-PWR", in position 1 of 3. 2h56m or less remaining.
This shows how long you've been waiting, what you're waiting on, what position you're in, and estimated time until your download will begin.

7. How do I cancel my request for a pack?
You may want to cancel a request you have made for a pack. Maybe you found the file somewhere else or maybe you requested the wrong pack.
Type /msg [Name]of-bot xdcc remove
Ex. /msg [RAP]-[MX]-13540 xdcc remove

8. My download is finished but what is a .tar file and how do I open it?
A .tar file is an archive file similar to .rar or.zip. To open it you will need to extract the files with Winrar. (You can get it at www.rarlab.com)
After you've installed Winrar, the easiest way to extract the file is to right click the .tar file and select Extract Here.

Notes:
Remember only 1 search every 30 seconds.
You must be in #RAP-ALBUMS to recieve your file.
If the pack listings in #RAP-AlBUMS are making you lag, set yourself as away.
Ex. type /away lag

Have fun and enjoy your music,
#RAP-ALBUMS Team.
