I know and do use IRC for various reasons, but I prefer a BT download for new anime.

no queues, you are not limited by the upload speed of the one IRC bot running, you do not have to wait for some one dialup to finnish before you can start.

Downloads do not take longer on BT, that is higly subjective. for example, I often get better download times off torrent for a new release than I do off IRC. before taking queue times into account.

IRC is still king for a file a few days after it has been released. one week out, you will still have a few seeders and leechers in BT. after a month, unless it is note worthy, GL finding a seeder. in IRC, you can download a 2 year old file just as easly as the newest release of XXX series. . . actualy hope XXX was not released today, less you will be in queue lines again
