I personally feel that IRC shouldn't be experiencing those "growths" that kazaa and BT are getting (or in some cases, had gotten :P ).
How I feel IRC should be kept is closed off from the "normal" users, so that there's a place for people like me to go and hangout without drawing too much attention. Then again that's my weirdo elitist complex or something. I'm sure someone will flame me for that.
I couldn't agree more.
The veterans are sequestering themselves in private keyed or invite only channels, most centered around trusted users who have been part of the circle for years and several good FTPs.
The DCC protocol is grossly inefficient. The channels which have public fserves are silly as the wait time is astronomical - a handful of servers try to service hundreds of people, that's to be expected.
No, IRC is about making contacts, not finding files.
