OFFICIAL mIRC channels (#mIRC) are allowed to distribute mIRC, helpful in the event a user is having difficulties with the download or
www.mirc.com. (Note the FAQ also says "If you have further questions about mIRC, please visit the IRC channel #mIRC on EFnet, IRCnet, Undernet or Dalnet") One would hope a user would realize they should be discussing it with an op in those channels and not accept the file from just "another mIRC user". We (the ops) refer users to
www.mirc.com and/or our own website. We recieve the file from the same source as
www.mirc.com and all other approved download sites ( in other words, from Khaled) and place it on our websites for availability. You would not be getting the file directly from one of us.
