BT is easy and simple. Hence it can breed some impatient, immature people sometimes.
But enough of that. Both IRC and BT are great. Personally though, I've experienced faster speeds with IRC than BT.
And what was that about being unable to resume? I've never been unable to resume a file on XDCC or fserve unless the server specifically does not allow resumes.
Oh yeah, with IRC, you can watch the episode as it downloads.
Dorfl: My campus has blocked BT too.
If it weren't, I'd use it more.
