Release Notes: This release adds a new method to make it easy to identify with NickServ. This is useful on networks such as Freenode where a client must identify itself before it is able to send private messages.
- 29 Mar 2005 13:57
Release Notes: This release offers firewall and multiple NIC support. An arbitrary IP address can be selected and used to receive DCC connections, thus facilitating the sending of files from behind a firewall or NAT. There is also the option of specifying a fixed set of port numbers to make port forwarding much easier.

Release Notes: A close() method was introduced in the DccFileTransfer class, allowing you to abort file transfers at any moment. The new getTransferRate() method lets you estimate the average transfer speed of a file.
- 28 Feb 2004 18:31
Release Notes: This release introduces a new method, sendRawLineViaQueue, which allows you to have more control over what you send without flooding the server. You can now call setAutoNickChange(true) to make PircBot automatically obtain a valid nickname if the desired name is already in use.

Release Notes: This release handles messages correctly in channels with ! and + prefixes.

PircBot is jibbly
I would have to agree - pircBot is excellent. All the nastiness of IRC is hidden away so all you have to worry about is what to say.

They should work fine - check you're not behind a firewall or anything!

Great work
I've been using this for a few weeks now for a small personal IRC bot. Dead simple to use, good documentation, and tech support that's second to none ;)
good work paul...
