this thread mIRC is software used to chat on various networks, which you access thru THEIR servers. mIRC has nothing to do with any network or server, and has no way of knowing moment by moment what servers on what networks are linked and functioning properly. mIRC doesnt shut down, but servers do for a variety of reasons.
