Perhaps it's an advantage. People who download warez and pr0n using IRC channels are encouraged to go elsewhere as it's too slow on IRC. Meanwhile those who just want to send a file to a mate e.g. a personal picture, funny wav, etc... will still be happy as the speed of a one-off transfer really is quite irrelevant and unimportant.

Sounds like a win-win to me.
