As I said, I usually just come here, grab the episode I missed and use grabit to download it.

I guess he meant newsgroup not server. You have different groups for different stuff (games, music etc.).

By uploading a file called "REQ: WhateverYouWant" someone might upload it for you.
It's usually easier to upload something (whatever fits the group) and request at the same time. Then you've already done something for it.
You can use a program like PowerPost to post/upload.
There is a guide on it here:

And if you just want to post a message you can do it with some mailprograms or some newsreaders like Newsbin.

Can you point me in the direction of where I may find the server information for these IRC channels?

thanks

happy thanksgiving!
