Thread: How to use irc

hi i came across this text that you can download from irc.how can i do this. preferably through google chrome

Code:

Animebytes is by far the best private tracker for anime as Fractal says. Far, far better than BakaBT in so many ways.

If you want the anime first though, groups tend to release through their IRC channels first.


All you do is look up when a new release on Baka-Updates.com: All your Anime needs check the group IRC chan, connect to it. A lot of groups release through XDCC bots.
Not all groups have IRC chans, but this is usually where people get the stuff first: from the groups themselves. Then upload them elsewhere to other places like torrent trackers.


I've noticed a trend in groups also making torrents of their own releases simultaneously now though on sites like Nyaa.eu


The same applies for manga releases too, scanlated and raw manga is usually available through IRC first (especially the weekly manga releases since there was a crackdown on raw manga not long ago). You'll find it there first than on somewhere like Share (Japanese P2P application).

Have fun trying it out.

Let me google that for you

well kyllah ,a pleasure talking to you.btw lmgtfy is lame .i heard of lmgtfy years back and googling about irc.
mayb i wanted to know about what irc clients/channels do u recommend or personally favour which isnt something you can get off google alot.

Mod Edit: What the derogatory comments or face the consequences

I have no idea as to why you would have put that in a code box, since it looks like a quote from a website. Anyway to the point, if you are looking for help setting up a client to download releases before they hit a tracker or recommendations then I suggest that you clarify your post with your EXACT needs rather than posting something that is rather vague.

It was not my intention to offend you. But the link pointed numerous guides to exactly your topic. If you wish to download releases through XDCC, then you need to elaborate on the genre.

You should probably also read the chapters about irc in What is the Scene? This might help explain!
I already linked you, how to use IRC and XDCC. Regarding client/channels, I like to use mIRC and know http://searchirc.com will get you a long way.

Have fun trying it out.
