Hmm, I had no idea that DCC was such a bad thing on mIRC. I used to see hundreds of channels with hundreds of people in each. I live on a college campus so it's a bit hard to obtain MP3s through their restrictive network. A friend showed me mIRC and I really like D/Ling MP3s here b/c you can get an entire album from 1 person and you know it will be complete. I am using Kazaa somewhat, but I hate getting MP3s on there b/c you get mixed files. If I download an entire album (lets say 12 songs) on kazaa, I will need to get 12 files from 12 (hell, maybe even hundreds of) different people. That means 12 different people recorded them and they are all different quality, some are incomplete, and some skip.
If mIRC doesn't allow mass DCC sharing, then I guess the best alternative for what I'm looking for is FTP. I used to use Audiogalaxy back when it was an FTP/MP3 search engine but now it kinda sucks. Anyone know of sites that will search out FTP sites (like audiogalaxy USED TO be)?
