Worse yet.. but of your cable internet user you run the risk of getting your internet connection cut off.
Besides there's no technical advantage of using irc.
irc is hard to use, channels you are trying to find content on are hard to find.
the people on IRC are rude and very dickish..
I would just look for ftp, nap, or lockers.
then again, these day's... I just mail old hard drives around.

The collections are rich, the users are not as dickish as the IRC text based pricks and I enjoy the network very much.

If you can wait until tonight, or perhaps tomorrow night, I will post an entire user guide for Utatane, perhaps in it's own area on Slyck. To install it, you just click on the .exe, and then you will be able to see what the file sharing client looks like, see what options there are, etc. There is a help file that comes with the installer, but it is very brief. The .wsx file is just data that shows you the available servers to add to Utatane for file sharing on OpenNap. You have to add them manually in Utatane, and you can do that by viewing either the available server list on GotNap, or by downloading the .wsx file and opening it with notepad to see the server information.
One thing I will add is that it is much better to have an open port used specifically for Utatane rather than share files with no open port. Two users both on port 0 (no open port) are not able to connect to each other, so if you are using a router, you should open a port for it (you can use port 6699 for both tcp and udp), which I will cover in the user guide.
My schedule is a bit tight for the next 24 to 36 hours, but I will get it posted as soon as I have a chance.

I'm not sure how many people reading Slyck actually do what you are asking about. Or perhaps use Google (or any search engine) for some additional help on that topic.
