Instructions to get
to #DigiLegacy on mIRC
Updated March 15th
(Some instructions/images from mirc.com)
So you'd like to join us on IRC and start to
download your anime, right? Well, first you're going to need an IRC
client. You can download mIRC from
HERE before
continuing on with these instructions. Once you've downloaded it, start
with Step One.
|
STEP ONE:
Installing mIRC
Once you have downloaded mIRC, you are ready to
install it. During the install procedure mIRC's files will be automatically
extracted from the installer file and all necessary steps for starting mIRC will be
taken. If you're upgrading an older version of mIRC you will be able to keep
all your old settings.
Open the Windows File Manager or
Explorer with which you can see what files are found on your PC's hard
disk. You can find its icon in the 'Start' menu, under 'Programs'.
Locate the mIRC 6.16 installer (mirc616.exe) which you just
downloaded and saved to your hard disk.
To start the installation process just double
click on the exe file. The installation program will be started
automatically.
- Determine the place on your hard disk where you
want mIRC to be installed. Normally the proposed c:\program files\mirc
will do fine.
- If you want the installer to keep backup copies
of all eventual older files, keep the "Make backups" option
selected.
- If you want the installer to add a mIRC program
group to windows and set up the mIRC icons, keep the "Add icons"
option selected.
- Select 'OK' and you're done! The installer will
take care of all the work.

STEP TWO: Setting
up mIRC
Now that mIRC is installed on your PC and the
program group and mIRC icon are available in the program manager, this is
what is required to set it up:
First make sure you have an active connection to
Internet. Normally you just have to start up the modem connection to your
Internet provider to do so. To anticipate any problems in the future always
first start your modem and then mIRC.
Double click the
 icon (shortcut) to
start up mIRC.
mIRC will start and show the Options Dialog
and require you to fill in some information:
In the mIRC Options dialog (as above) you
see an options tree structure. You can expand a branch of the tree (a
Category) by selecting an item (Connect, IRC, Sounds,..) and clicking on the
little 'plus' sign. A list of sub-items will unfold. At first only the main
'Connect' menu item seen above, has to be filled in. Select this item and
enter the following information in the fields;
Real Name: Your real name (IE, Tommy Oliver)
E-Mail: Your email address (IE, someotherguy@isp.com)
Nick Name: A one to fifteen character alias to use on the chat system (IE,
DigidestinedGuy)
Alternate: If someone else is already using the Nick Name you you've chosen
on IRC, you will be known by this alternate name instead. (IE, Doi333)
You also have to select a local or nearby IRC
server. A long list of servers is available by default. Here is where you
must add one.
Expand the "Connect" category, then select Servers. Select ADD, and a new box will appear. Fill in the
following for each section:
Description: Blitzed
IRC Server: irc.blitzed.org
Port(s): 6667-6669,7000
After that, click ADD. The server will be there.
Next, simply click the "Connect to IRC server"
button to connect to the selected server.

STEP THREE: Using
mIRC
Click on the File menu and select
Connect. Or select the lightning button in the Toolbar for the same
effect.
- After a short wait (up to 20 seconds) you will
see some meaningless blurb appear in the status window.
- The last line will say something like "End of
MOTD command".
You are on IRC now !! Congratulations.
The mIRC Channels Folder will pop up. It
may show many other channels, but what you need to do is add another
channel.
Click ADD and the Channel add box should open up.
All you need to type the channel name in is the Channel Box. Type:
#DigiLegacy
Click OK.
Single click on the channel you just added, then
the JOIN button.
