1) Download and install mIRC from mIRC.com or another IRC client.
2) Once it's installed, open it and type /server irc.irchighway.net
3) Once you're connected to the server, type /join #himitsu
4) To see a list of available chapters, double click on HimitsuBot and type xdcc list (or in the server window you could type /msg HimitsuBot xdcc list for the same effect).
5) To request a file, type xdcc send #, where # is the pack number displayed on the pack list (or /msg HimitsuBot xdcc send # in the server window).

Suggestions:

• If you get confused, ask for help in the channel.
• If, shortly after connecting to the server/joining the channel, your nickname becomes Guest12345678 or something similar, you have been 'guested', which means you were trying to use a nick already reserved by someone else. Your best bet is to disconnect from the server, type /nick somethingdifferent, and try again. You can test the availability of a nick by typing /msg nickserv info thenick.
• To copy text in mIRC, swipe the text with your mouse. It will automatically be copied to your clipboard. To paste it, use CTRL+V. If you hold down CTRL while swiping, it will copy the color codes, thereby making it much harder to paste bot commands, so be careful!
• Most bots will only send one file at a time, but they will also let you queue up more files.
• Idle in the channel. It's a fun place to be, and you'll make the ops feel better.
• Say 'thanks for the chapter'. Again, it gives the ops a reason to live.
• After downloading the file, you can read it most easily using a manga viewer such as Picwalker or CDisplay.
• When you're done, please e-mail the staff with your comments!

1) Why don't you guys have more than one project, such as one of the other Yu-Gi-Oh! series?

1. Yu-Gi-Oh! R: As of Christmas 2006, Himitsu Project is now also working on Yu-Gi-Oh! R.
2. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: In the opinions of most of the Himitsu Project staff, GX is made of "ass and fail". Besides, Tatsu no Kiba Productions is already working on it.
3. Non-Yu-Gi-Oh! series: Himitsu was created for the purpose of releasing Yu-Gi-Oh!-related projects.

2) Did you know that your raws are Winny raws?
    Yep.

3) Why are your translations so literal/so loose? Why are the names translated this way or that way? Why is the editing done in this way?
    Because they are ^_^

4) Are any groups releasing Yu-Gi-Oh! manga in languages besides English?

1. Spanish
   1. Nikai (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
2. Chinese
   1. YGOR (Yu-Gi-Oh! R)
   If you know of or would like to start a non-English Yu-Gi-Oh! team, please let us know.

5) Need an editor/translator/more raws/QCer/anything?

    Not at the moment.
