Let me revise the IRC thing maybe... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
1) Open mIRC
2) File-->Options
3) Add
4) Give it a name, etc. etc.
5) Unless your firewall is interfering with it, port 6667 should work fine.
6) The IRC Server is: irc.teambg.net
7) Note: Your full name etc. does not need to be real, just put in a witty one liner if you like [img]smile.gif[/img]
8) Pick a nickname
9) Hit Connect to IRC Server
10) Now, it will go through a bunch of text coming up. Ignore this.
11) Something called "mIRC Channels Folder" will pop up
12) Type in "#BGT" (without the quotes)
13) Hit enter
14) Look towards the top of the screen. One of the buttons, which has DCC written at the top of it and a circle with a dot in it and a line facing to the right, is called DCC Options (mouse over to make sure you have the right one)
15) Click on it, then click on Folders
16) There is an option there, DCC Ignore. Disable this.
17) Back in the chat room after hitting ok, type "!BGT" or "!BGT3" (without the quotes, again)
18) Depending upon which one you did, either Bardez or Chris will ask to open a private message with you
19) Accept this
20) Type "dir" (always without the quotes...)
21) Type "get bgt distro.ace" (or whichever file you are after)
22) Select where you want to download the file to (you can set a default in the DCC Folders Options menu which you used earlier.
23) And wait...
Note: If your download gets interrupted, repeat the downloading steps (i.e. 17-21). Instead of hitting overwrite, however, just hit resume and your download will continue from where you got disconnected.
Note 2(!): I just started using mIRC yesterday to get the files, so I'm not exactly a master of it... I only really figured out how to use it to get the distro.c03 [img]smile.gif[/img]
Edit: "get" is the command which downloads, "dir" lists the contents of the directory (i.e. which files the person has available for download). Don't bother downloading the worldmap. [img]smile.gif[/img]
