In the past you've shown enough knowlegde to be able to judge the differences between mIRC and GAIM, or any other chat related tool around in fact. And as you see most people around quickly judged the value of your question accordingly. Please refrain from asking questions like this one in the furure, ok?

Related to that; over the past weeks we have seen numerous suggestions from you regarding mIRC. By now it should have come to your attention that we don't want to improve mIRC with buddy lists, instant messaging, file searching, magnets, ET calling home, swarming, PtP, other file transfer distributions, or whatever.... And we told you why over and over.

We want to stick mIRC and IRC to chatting as much as possible while retaining its current minimalistic file transfer capabilities. Period.

Please stop your senseless discussions and spend your and our enery on other things, ok? We've heard you, now stop it.
