"DUSTIN STAAT: Hi. I'm Dustin on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'll be showing you how to use an IRC program to download software you're going to need to softmod your Xbox. We've already gone ahead and downloaded mIRC, my personal favorite, and opened it. In your IRC command bar, you can now go ahead and type /server irc.efnet.net. Press enter. This will connect you to EFnet. Once it brings up the next window, you want to go ahead and connect to the xbins chat room by typing /j #xbins. This will bring you a chat room where you can find the software. From here, you want to type /msg xbins !list. Press enter if you've typed /msg xbins !list. Next, you'll receive a message giving you a code. Once you receive this message, you'll get a username and a password for your next step, using the FTP client. Go ahead and write that down. Once you receive the message, you'll need the FTP address, which is distribution.xbin.org; your port, which is 21; your username, in this case, Dstaat; and your password, which is "emulation." Watch our next segment on using FlashFXP, your FTP program, to download the software."

on 3/23/2009 i think he did it wrong. I figured it out. when you first connect to mirc it will say enter a channel name and click join. When that comes up then you want to put; /server irc.efnet.net After that you would want to enter /j #xbins After that enter /msg xbins !list
That should work out. Good luck!!
