I knew you'd pick up on this ;) I was only winding you up Mac Buster ;) Basically, a few of the big IRC networks have been hit with Denial of Service attacks on the servers and the ISPs hosting those servers. Therefore, a lot of the servers have been dying because the ISPs no longer want to be attacked and because it's cost them a fortune. Therefore IRC (or at least Undernet) is shit slow at times and hard to get on. Last I heard, the people doing the attacks apparently came from Russia but I'm not sure that was confirmed. No offence intended, honest :) Gavin
