Welcome to my IRC guide. These pages have 4 sections, guide for downloading files on IRC, setting up a file server (for those who want to contribute), howto on using CRC and how to make a patch for corrupt files using zidrav.
Use the left frame to navigate through the pages. If you're frame-challenged, too bad for you :P
If you have some suggestions or comments about the page, I can be found at
irc.enterthegame.com
at channels #soldats, #animehaven or #animecentral

Do not contact me if you don't understand the guides.. I only fix them if there's some inaccurate information. Note that this e-mail account is only for receiving, I cannot send back any mail. So if you have anything that you want to be answered, contact me via message on irc.
Update 18.01.2003: Added the FAQ section, since even AFTER I put that previous "not able to respond to e-mail", people still mail me asking "how do I...". So I'll be putting the questions there, forwarding the asker to the proper quide part and making fun of him/her in the process. (Don't complain.. If you can't read, it's not my fault)
Little update here, as I've had this e-mail rotting in my inbox for months now.. Just what all those people with routers
need (for linksys, this one, but it goes without saying that a little bit of brainwork and a nice cup of RTFM goes a long
way in solving problems). So.. someone named David or something sent me this:
But getting to my point, I noticed your IRC guide at http://ronin.soldats.net . I thought your FAQ page was humourous.
People with such poor punctuation and what not probably didn’t take the time to read and comprehend your guides (although
of course, that might not always be true, but generally speaking…), so I thought your answers were right on target.
However, I remember having plenty of trouble getting IRC to work, and I like to think that I meet the minimum requirements
you set--“You need at least the IQ of 80 and the English skills needed to watch anime to use the guide.” And that trouble
came even with using guides. The reason for this is because my internet setup includes a router and firewall. I had to do
all sort of weird port triggering and port forwarding and the like to get things to work properly. Perhaps that’s why some of
the people email you saying your guide didn’t work for them.
I by no means think you should write an entire guide devoted to such things. That would be silly, considering there’s
(that should be "there are", but I'm not picking on the language of such a helpful fella) already guides out there devoted
to such things. What I think you should do is make some mention of the fact that those with routers or firewalls, etc. might
have to do some additional setup along the lines that I had to do. If you’re really up to it, you’ll even include links to said
guides. I’ve done a bit of the footwork and included some links I’ve found in regard to Linksys, the brand of router I have.
The step-by-step guide is especially good. The forum thread I just found through Google.com just now, but appears somewhat
helpful, although it seems mostly redundant I might cause stupid people to just ask more questions…

That said, don't mail me about these, I haven't even checked if the URLs work. But note that he used the magic word,
Google.
