Gotwoot Forums FAQ

GotWoot lives on its own IRC network. You're looking for irc.gotwoot.net In mIRC, you can be connected to gotwoot without disconnecting from your home network by typing /server -m irc.gotwoot.net . In irssi, you can connect to multiple servers by using /connect instead of /server, and xchat lets you open new connection tabs. You can also use our Java Webclient to connect.

GotWoot's IRC channel is #gotwoot on irc.gotwoot.net. Once you're connected to the server, you should be able to type /join #gotwoot If you've got mIRC installed and the url type registered, you can also go to irc://irc.gotwoot.net/gotwoot and your client should understand it.

Yes! Instead of connecting to port 6667, connect to either +6668 or +6697. You'll need a client that supports SSL for that, of course. mIRC supports this, but you'll need to install OpenSSL to make it work.

There's a lot of things that can go wrong with IRC connections. Some particularly bad ISPs (eg: some universities, apartment complexes) filter IRC traffic. Usually this is just the default port, so try an SSL port or an alternate port. Currently, GotWoot IRC listens on 6667 and 7000 for regular connections, and 6668 and 6697 for SSL connections. Some virus scanners and personal firewalls also prevent IRC traffic. If you're stuck, consider posting them in the General Support section of our forums.

GotWoot IRC is NOT a filesharing channel. It's a chat/discussion channel. We don't have bots or fservs running there. You're probably looking for #animeone on irc.rizon.net .

You can also find the MangaTraders irc channel on our network. Look for #mangatraders
