Just FYI:

Nobody downloads anything AT mIRC. mIRC is simply a program that lets you access IRC (Internet Relay Chat).

sorry, your wrong

I've donwloaded many movies, and also the entire buffy/angel series with from dal net, using IRC...

You just have to find the right channels that supply them, though i'm not gonna advertise any here...

When you get on type /list movies
you should get a list of all the movie channels, in them people display their FTP sites or servers, which is simple enough to access.

No. YOU ARE WRONG. Mirc is a program that lets you log onto IRC. It is a program, not a PLACE.

I said "Nobody downloads anything AT mIRC" (the first poster claimed to have read an article about downloading stuff AT mIRC) You CAN download WITH mIRC, but you don't download AT mIRC. Care to tell me that I am wrong AGAIN? I've only been using IRC since 1990!

mIRC is just an IRC Client such as Polaris or any other IRC Client. Theoratically you can download movies or anything off IRC, but people have to send it to you. Basically it's an chat program with the ability to send files from one user to another. In this case, somebody can send you a movie to you.

Jeomite is right. It's like a more advanced ICQ client. I really use both of those for the same thing... for chatting and sending files. If file transfers couldn't happen on IRC or ICQ, I wouldn't even have them installed.

Sure, the Web is nice for finding info and E-mail beats snailmail hands down, but when you've been wondering 'where the others are?', then IRC is what you're looking for.
IRC is the net's equivalent of CB radio. But unlike CB, Internet Relay Chat lets people all over the world participate in real-time conversations. IRC is where the Net comes alive!

Using an IRC client (program) you can exchange text messages interactively with other people all over the world. Some of the more popular chat clients are mIRC, Pirch, and Virc for Windows and Homer or Ircle for Mac's. What program you use doesn't really matter; all of them connect to the same chat networks. When logged into a chat session, you "converse" by typing messages that are instantly sent to other chat participants.

Meeting people. IRC is great fun and you'll sure meet lots of interesting people and find nice spots to hang out! But, IRC is not something that you should just jump into without first reading up on it. You could feel very lost if you do not know some basic commands before you enter IRC, and you might not even know how to get out of IRC after that ) So, we suggest you read some documentation (help files, readmes, FAQs etc) before you get connected to an IRC server, or it can be very frustrating for you when you get stuck. No worries, all info you need is available on mIRC's web pages and... mIRC makes things really simple!

How to use IRC.

As in life -and CB radio- not all those chatters have something interesting to say, but some do, and many people have developed lasting friendships through IRC. Even marriages have resulted from relationships first forged on IRC. In fact, some people have become so addicted to chatting on the Internet that there's a Usenet newsgroup entitled alt.irc.recovery.

The value of IRC depends on how you use it. IRC can keep you company when you can't sleep, contribute to family togetherness and cut your phone bill. It also can expose you to unpleasant behavior. Chats can get wild and woolly, and anyone (male or female) who takes on a female persona is likely to be hit on. There is indeed a great deal of sextalk, sleaze and garbage on IRC, and one should exercise caution in allowing children to access the IRC without supervision. But, as an adult, you are free to visit only the channels you choose, and there is also a great deal of positive communication going on.

IRC gained international fame during the Gulf War in 1991, where updates from around the world came accross the wire, and most irc users who were online at the time gathered on a single channel to hear these reports. IRC had similar uses during the coup against Boris Yeltsin in September 1993, where IRC users from Moscow were giving live reports about the unstable situation there.

As you see, Internet Relay Chat is a great way to talk to people from all over the world about anything at all. On top of the latest world news there are many help related and tech support channels where you can get immediate assistance with perplexing computer related problems on the spot and in easy to read typewritten form!</BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD><HR size=1 color=black></TD></TR></TABLE>
