You need to install a package (OpenSSL) in order to make it work, so I don't think it would be useful, unless SSL becomes an integrated part of mIRC, but it would only increase the file size in order to only support SSL functions. I don't think it's a great idea.. and why would you need SSL to transfer some files? If it's important files, don't use IRC Hotel Motel avec forfait casino à La Malbaie, Charlevoix

As for the why, well it's just the same as why people want SSL support for IRC connections I guess - some people want every bit of protection they can get, even if the real privacy benefits really aren't that great or necessary. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
