We can be found on the AniSubs IRC server, which is the network where numerous anime communities have their chat channels and such.

If you have an IRC client installed you can most likely just click one of these links (both the links do the same).
irc.AniRena.net channel #anirena
Opera users and/or other browsers that may have a plugin to connect to IRC inside the browser, you need DCC support if you want to download files from a Bot in the channel.

To connect to the AniSubs.net server in mIRC (an IRC client go o the site for more info) type /server irc.anisubs.net
And to join a channel you can use /join so to join #anirena you type /join #anirena

In mIRC they got this neat option to make scripts to automate stuff, so I just made a script that will auto connect you to irc.anisubs.net and join the #anirena channel and #anisubs channel. You may edit this etc if you like but mind that scripts can be tricky and if you do something wrong you may end up spamming and get killed from the network, so it's not adviced if you don't know anything about it... Type /help in mIRC to get more information about scripts.

To install press ALT+R to open the remotes window, if you use a script like No Name Script or Invision there may already be scripts there, in that case you need to open a new file by clicking File > New.

If you have a clear remote window, copy the below lines and paste them in the remote window, make sure it's exactly the same (except font and size ofcourse).

on *:START: {
 server irc.anisubs.net
}
on *CONNECT: {
 if (AniSubs isin $network) {
  join #anirena
  join #anisubs
 }
}

If you have done this click the OK button and you are done, every time you start mIRC you will now autoconnect and join #anirena and #anisubs

Now you are connecting to the network and joining the right channel... And you will probably be able to download from the bots, if not read our how to configure mIRC and your router to download over IRC in the FAQ
