Thanks for the reply!
I'll check that channel and start from there.
You just need an IRC client which supports downloads, such as mIRC,
leafchat
or XChat, personally i use a windows version of this, XChat-WDK. Then just
configure
to accept incoming XDCC connections. Depending on you client
configurations may vary.
Then locate a channel with boots to leech from ;).
The downloading normally goes like this.
* Enter channel.
* Ask for list with !list. This will make bots reports
theirs download list to you
* Locate file (normally file #1 it's downloadable list of the bot).
* Ask for a file with
* /msg BOT_NAME xdcc send FILE_NUMBER
* /ctcp BOT_NAME xdcc send FILE_NUMBER
* ???
* Profit!
Depending on your taste, you may like or not, but personally I like it
better
than dealing with filesharing services such as MU or RS. I'm also a big
fan of
torrent, but sometimes I can't keep sharing since I share my connection
with several
persons and my connection is not that fast (2Mbps down, ~0.6 Mbps up).
Good luck while downloading from IRC!
If you run into any trouble, just let me know.
Cheers
