I disagree. Not if the queues are THAT CROWDED like they are usually. Have you ever had the pleasure to get ONE file from an IRC queue?
You're usually at range 50 or 40. And if someone at range 28 has a file 7 MB in size to download, the whole thing can take about 1 hour. 1 hour for *one* file to get. And you know how many "roms" there are.
So don't try to tell me it's "convenient" to use IRC. It's a pain.
