Seems like a silly question to most probably but I've never used it and I was wondering if anyone experienced with it could give me some suggestions. Here is what I know about it:

IRC: Internet Relay Chat

Ok, thats all I know...

mIRC is pretty sweet.. if you know how to use it, you can get endless amounts of data or whatever else from it. just have to be on the right servers, in the right channels. talk to people who know it well. just gotta ask around.

It has a lot of uses.

Warez groups use it.
you can get basically everything if you know where to look on IRC.
Clans for games use it to organize stuff and just make their presence known.
some people actually use it to just chat :Q !

I used it a year or two ago to try and learn some of the file-sharing techniques but ended up just chatting. :p

There is one MP3 channel I have a passion for on Undernet, but I don't have any others that I frequent. I would love to know of more if anyone would care to PM me or post it in the thread.
