~hey guys this is the continuation of the common wares definition that are usually used by technological groups. So check it out…
C?? File:
File extension that indicates that a file is part of an .ace or .rar series of compressed files.
Cgi Scripts:
These are referrers which are used in url?s. When you click on a link with a ?cgi reference you are directed to a sponsor?s website or an anti-leech protected file.
Cookie:
A tiny text file (usually less than 1kb), which is stored on your hard drive when you visit a web site. These are used to remember who you are so that you can access members only areas on the site without having to type in a password every time or to retain your personalised settings so that they are available the next time you visit.
Courier:
Someone who is involved in the logistics of delivering new releases directly from the release groups themselves to FTP sites.
Crack:
A tiny executable file that is used to transform a shareware program into the full version. Also used to remove any copy protection from the main executable of games (this will already have been done in “ripped” warez games).
CRC Error:
These can occur when you try to decompress a file that has become corrupt during the downloading process, usually as a result of too much resuming.
Credits:
The amount of data you are permitted to download from a ratio site. The more credits you have the more software you are allowed to download.
DAP:
A quick way of referring to “Download Accelerator Plus”, a free download manager that claims to speed up file transfers by up to three hundred per cent. It works by making multiple connections to the same file and is paid for by revolving advertising banners.Also supports resume. **EDITOR’S PICK**
DAT File:
File format used for movies, identical in quality and size to mpg as far as I can tell.
DC:
The lazy way of referring to the Dreamcast, Sega’s latest console incarnation.
Decompression:
Unpacking many files that have been stored in a single archive.
Distro:
A concise means of referring to a distribution FTP site. These are huge storage areas which act as a springboard for the transfer of new releases. Their whereabouts are never public disclosed to aid their survival rate. You can think of them as the initial source from which warez emanates.
Direct Downloads:
Links to actual files rather than other warez sites or pages. These are usually gathered together from many different sites and put on one page for your convenience.
DivX:
Movies ripped from a DVD using the DivX video codecs. Can be played back using Media Player.
DIZ File:
Short for description. Very brief text file found in warez archives stating the title of the software, the number of files that makes up the set and the group who released it.
Download (or DL):
Copying files from a web server or FTP site to your computer using a modem.
