Go to the Ircle channel - you'll find the address on the Ircle webpage (www.ircle.com, I think...) and they'll explain how to do it; the guy who coded Ircle, Onno Tidjat, is a very nice Finn and is often online at the channel.

One thing: make sure you have your IRC client set *not* to allow *automatic* DCC, as it's a prime way of allowing nasties on to your computer.

Oh, wait, I'm stupid! Sorry, it's mIRC you're using, so you're on a PC - well, same thing applies, and the Ircle guys will certainly help you, and tell you where to find mIRC help.

The way DCC basically works is this: say I have a file of Jordan Is A Hard Road to Travel and you want it. We both boot up our IRC clients and go online at the same time, and find each other in a prearranged chat channel. Then we send private messages to each other (by typing /msg Ed - assuming Ed is the nick you're using), then when we're sure we have the right other person, we initiate a DCC chat - you'll see that on the menu.

Then I'll initiate DCC Send, and offer you the file. You'll click to accept it, and the file will send a copy of itself from my computer to yours.

I hope that's clear.
