Help, please! reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chasethelight · 2013-03-10 01:36 So I'm lost. My knowledge of computers doesn't go much beyond using microsoft word and google, but a friend told me that there was a site (undernet) where I could download books for free (under the section #bookz). He also told me I needed to get an irc for it to work. So, I've managed to download one (colloquy as I'm on a mac), but I'm lost now. Can someone explain to me how to get from here to downloading books? Thank you!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dorisfrench · 2013-03-10 05:17 Download mIRC. Use the lightning button. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chasethelight · 2013-03-10 17:01 It doesn't work for macs, but I think I have it figured out now. Thanks anyway! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NeedAGoodUsername · 2013-03-12 02:58 There is Colloquy for macs :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- xBytez · 2013-03-12 14:30 Why does nobody read, he said he's on Mac and people reply with mIRC. He said he downloaded colloquy and someone replied there there is colloquy for Macs. Did reading become too mainstream or so? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NeedAGoodUsername · 2013-03-13 04:46 Given that the OP said 'Microsoft Word' early on in the post would make someone automatically assume that they are using Windows, hence the 'mIRC' suggestion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- chasethelight · 2013-03-15 01:03 "She" actually. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- xBytez · 2013-04-21 13:28 There is Microsoft Word on Mac.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- skrunkle · 2013-05-11 19:28 Let me point out that #bookz. is a type of "Warez" channel. Many IRC Warez channel are populated by bots looking for you to make a connection to them so they can get your IP address and attack you. IRC Warzing is very dangerous. I suggest you look into bit torrent for these products or your computer will be part of a botnet before you can say "compromised".
