using mIRC.....

ok...not quite sure if this belongs here....but how would one use mIRC from start to finish to get files from news groups. I am a complete IRC gomer...I know a little bit, but not enough.. How would I access a channel like zero day and obtain files from said newsgroup. I need complete and utter details.....start to finish.

If someone could direct me to a site that explains it really well, please give me the linky, or just give me a good explanation it would be much appreciated.

If this is too 'naughty' for the forums....drop me a pm for some info please
