I know for a fact that many readers don’t like the idea of joining ‘IRC channels’ - many seem to have the impression that IRC is something complicated which only power users are supposed to use. This is not true and with the right software, visiting an IRC channel can become as easy as logging onto a web site. mIRC is one such software which you can use to easily join many public and private IRC chat rooms.

mirc 6.35

Download

mIRC can be downloaded free of charge from the official download page located here.

What commands do i need to know to join IRC servers and visit IRC Channels?

With mIRC installed, you only need to know two simple commands to connect to an IRC server and to join a channel; /server and /join.

Let’s say you want to connect to channel (room) #ircchannel on IRC server irc.ircserver.net.
The following command (entered on mIRC console) will connect you to the IRC server: /server irc.ircserver.net
Once you join the server, you can use the /join command to join the desired channel: /join #ircchannel

Better yet, to directly join the channel, simply type the link in the following format , paste it on your browser window and press enter: irc://irc.ircserver.net/ircchannel
Browser should prompt to open the link with mIRC and when opened it will directly open the channel window. Note that in this URL format, the protocol used is irc:// and the # in front of channel name is not used.
As another example, direct link to TorrentLeech IRC channel can be written as below:
irc://irc.torrentleech.org:7011/torrentleech
(:7011 is the port number)

This method however won’t work with invite only rooms. You’ll most likely be given specific instructions to get yourself invited to such rooms.
