By definition:
mIRC is a shareware IRC client for Windows. It is developed and copyrighted by Khaled Mardam-Bey. mIRC is a highly configurable IRC client with all the goodies other clients on UNIX, Macintosh and even on windows offer, combined with a *nice* and clean user interface. mIRC offers full color text lines, DCC File Send and Get capabilities, programmable aliases, a remote commands and events handler, place sensitive popup menu's, a great Switchbar, World Wide Web and sound support, and... a lot more.
Easily put: It's a Peer 2 Peer program like Kazaa, but a lot better! I used to use it all the time, and was able to find literally anything, any type of FULL movies, games, sofware, etc. For anyone who does alot of file downloading, this is a must.
The only reason I stopped using it is because 90% people will not send you a file unless you have something they want, such as games or movies. IMO, this programs got way too many features if you ask me, and can be difficult to operate. But if your good with computers, then go for it!

Some clarification
I don't know where you read that IRC is peer to peer, because it simply isn't. The only peer to peer connections you will encounter on IRC is DCC (chat or send) which is not a part of RFC 1459 (http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1459.html)
IRC is not intended for file sharing and the like, but rather for communication of text messages between clients over a set of linked servers. Various distinct networks of IRC servers exist, and they each have their own name and way of doing things. DALnet, Undernet, EFnet, and Chatnet are examples of these. The us.undernet.org hostname has a number of hosts associated with it in a round robin style and you would be best to use this hostname if connecting to Undernet from the USA. IRC has a long history of disruptive behaviour between clients, since it is trivial to find another users IP address. Most IRC based "attacks" are no longer viable with the newer versions of ircd ('newer' being later than say 1997...) But this does not prevent someone from sending whatever they like at your real IP, although I will say that you would really need to be looking for trouble to find any (so don't let this deter you.)
