https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/1239735 - my previous IRC write-up from 3 months ago.
Been using AdiIRC for about a week now and everything works as good or better than mIRC.
I do recommend a different color scheme thou. https://dev.adiirc.com/projects/adiirc/boards/6
Is there anything worthwhile on irc apart from obscure ebooks?
I get all my TV and movies from dcc
I use it to get support for FOSS software
A lot of anime groups offer their releases through irc and torrent
Are they any different from ones on Nyaa? If so, can you link a fewM
Horriblesubs was the biggest for a long time, but they closed shop recently. Subsplease.org would now be a good one, they even share the same irc archive as Horriblesubs so you can still access their releases.
They release torrents in the public trackers anyway. So I’m not really missing out on anything from them.
It’s available without having to rely on seeders. Which is often an issue with older series
it sounds like you never used it right. everything that exists on usenet or torrents can be found on irc.
