Hotline Client 1.85

This is the Hotline Client executable downloader. You can use this to download the server part of this program or anything else you can think of to download. It is older and sort of like IRC there are clans that are private and there are also groups that allow you to dl for ul. There is a lot of specific file type sharing here. This at one time was, and as far as I know, still is open source. I believe it originated in unix based systems and then went to Mac and finally to windows. With this program you can use trackers to find sites to download and upload to, just like torrents. It took me forever to find this program so I figured I needed to upload it so that its legacy can continue. Please download, share, seed. Thanks. Recently updated with crack for full functionality, must run crack in install folder. Use winrar to open and extract files if you want, not needed.. Heres a list of hotline trackers http://hotline.tracker-tracker.com/public/index.php?ct=trackersearch Heres some excerpts from wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline_Communications 'Hotline Communications main activity was the publishing and distribution of a multi-purpose client/server communication software product named Hotline Connect, informally called, simply, Hotline. Initially, Hotline Communications sought a wide audience for its products, and organizations as diverse as Avid Technology, Apple Computer Australia, and public high schools used Hotline. At its peak, Hotline received millions of dollars in VC funding, grew to employ more than fifty people, served millions of users, and won accolades at trade shows and in newspapers and computer magazines around the world. Hotline eventually attracted more of an "underground" community, which saw it as an easier to use successor to the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) community. (As it became used more and more for downloading pirated software and pornography, some employees and users left.) Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, Hotline Communications lost the bulk of its VC funding, and went out of business later that month. All of its assets were "acquired" in 2002 by Hotsprings, Inc., a new company formed by some ex-employees and shareholders. Hotsprings Inc. has since also abandoned development of the Hotline Connect software suite; the last iteration of Hotline Connect was released in December 2003. The Hotline network is no longer in mainstream use, but some of the online communities survive to this day.'
