Updated: thanks to BarginHunter for finding 50% off!. IRC is a really old, but still highly used chat system. I came across this promo when my trial just expired so I purchased my copy. This isn't for everyone but for those who still chat on IRC and are keen on using mIRC, You get 25% off. If you select United States, Alaska, you don't pay any GST as if you selected Australia as your billing location. My payment still went through fine through PayPal in AUD, just without needing to pay GST.

      Yep. You used to be able to keep selecting later after your trial ended but now it kicks you out of the program.

          @Hybroid You must have an older version. The latest version I used, after the 30 days it stopped working and I couldn't use it. You have to purchase a license or it closes and there was no option to extend or keep using it.

      IRC warez, only thing worse than usenet warez.. can remember downloading Windows 95 betas each week, would take a freakin' eternity and no one could call the house. And there was always one bloody part I couldn't find. Actually, I take that back.. downloading warez off BBS's was worse… dialling up with Telix at 1200 or 2400bps and spending 4 years downloading with Xmodem Ymodem or Zmodem.

        But that's where you'd msg other users and see if you could swap missing parts, could even meet someone with access too some good ftp servers and would fxp for you.
        I ended up meeting some fantastic people this way. The idea was to move on from IRC file sharing

        There was also channels where you could request missing parts and the bot would announce for you every hour or so

        I had an awesome thing going where a sweet dude called e0n had a heap of pub & private servers and would list them, I'd then fxp the files to a mate who for worked somewhere that had tons of storage space and a staff who had burning DVDs in their job description?

        So I just sent the files, got the DVDs burned and they got them couriered to my door step

        And people wonder why game pass and Netflix is seen as a step down for me

          mIRC is not a file sharing program

          It is a text chat program

          We do not help with file sharing on this forum because:

          1. Downloading files from strangers is a great way to get trojans/viruses.

          2. It is against the AUP (acceptable use policy) of some networks/providers.

          3. It often involves files that are illegal to share.

          Please do not post questions on these forums relating to file sharing.
