Hi,

IRC means: 'Internet Relay Chat'; basically it is a way to be able to chat over the internet. Characteristics: a lot of 'rooms' dedicated to specific subjects/interests, lots of people in it who you can see by their nickname and talk to -many people at once- and text for output. A lot of the popular 'chat' websites are based on irc.

You can also use it to (hint) directly transfer and download files from one person to another.

Popular clients (programs which allow you to make use of the IRC network) are Mirc for Windows and KSirc/BitchX for Linux.
