Now, there are several channels you can join depending the server you're on. This time, click the connect button, and it'll connect you to the server and open a window offering you a chance to join a channel. Once you've done that, it'll take you back to the menu that I originally showed you. ExampleĪctually finding and downloading your ebooksĦ. In any case, select you server by finding it in the drop down menu and double clicking it. Sometimes you can get lucky and one will have a book if the other does not. You generally only want to use Undernet if you can't find the ebook you're looking for on IRChighway. The selection is generally more robust, the channels are more stable, and the downloads are faster. While both have their uses, IRChighway is the one you want to use 90% of the time. One is "Undernet", the other is "IRChighway". For ebooks, I know of two servers that host channels dedicated to ebook downloads. Next thing you want to do is scroll back up to the "Servers" tab and pick out a server. This is to ensure that incoming files are not ignored, which is important if you actually want to receive your ebooks. Once that's done, you want to navigate down to "Ignore" section in the DCC options, and turn the box option to "disabled". For the purposes of this guide, I just choose something random. The first thing you want to do is write in a name that's unique enough to have not already been taken. You should be greeted with a page like This.
#MIRC BOOKZ INSTALL#
Once you do that, install it and open the client up.
#MIRC BOOKZ DOWNLOAD#
Now then, to begin, download a IRC client. Besides that, the ability to copy and paste, and a bit of common sense. Question: What do I need to make this happen?Īnswer: A IRC client (I'll be using mIRC for the purposes of this guide, it's the simplest to use and the most widely distributed as well. Put simply, unless you happen to have access to a private site exclusively made for ebooks, you probably won't find a better source. The quality is almost always high, the selection is extensive, and finding and downloading the books is quick and easy. Question: Why should you use IRC to acquire ebooks, there are so many different ways to get them!Īnswer: IRC is the best method to find ebooks. You use this guide at your own discretion. This method can and should only be used to download legally available ebooks, as an alternative source in case other services go down for whatever reason. Much of this info is available on the net, but it can be difficult to track down if you don't know exactly what to look for.ĭisclaimer: I am in no way responsible for how you choose to use this knowledge.
#MIRC BOOKZ HOW TO#
I am not selling them, I am reading them to make my house less of a prison.I'm putting this together because I posted a while ago about using IRC to acquire ebooks on Reddit, and there was a metric shit ton of interest from others in learning how to do it. All the older books (10years and more) are NOT available anywhere (except used bookstores as dead trees and I cannot hold them for longer than 1-2 minutes). How do I get my mIRC to work? Or, is there another book loaded site that I can download from?īefore you all scream about copyrights and theft, I am HOMEBOUND! I have not left this house except via ambulance in 2 years. I've read the procedure and do not understand it enough to go ahead and try it. I tried to install mIRC using Wine, but my 10.04 has a conniption and claims I have to change my preferences (.exe being suddenly the anti-christ). I downloaded Xchat, but do not see a comparable site, just people talking. Thus I use the ebook channel on mIRC to download the books that others have scanned and uploaded. I buy a ton of ebooks each year, but not everything is available for sale (and yes, I use the online libraries also). I am homebound and cannot hold a book for long (very painful), thus I read on my laptop. Hi again! I just upgraded from Ubuntu 7.04 to 10.04 and now have a problem.
