I've heard many times that IRC can be incredibly useful for piracy, but I've never tried using it. Can someone recommend some IRC servers that I could join? I'm especially interested in joining servers that distribute TV shows.
How do you connect to one of those? I tried with the second option listen in the networks (abjects) but I get Connection failed (self-signed certificate.? (18))
Servalpur's The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC from almost a decade ago got me started. I find most books I need on the IRC highway. Not my first choice but more often than not I find the book I'm looking for when I can't find it elsewhere. I know there are other channels too.
