For a moment, I thought he was talking about the game...

Me too, I was thinking about how I was looking for an upgrade to the Linux UT 2003 a while back and couldn't find it on the official site. I decided downloading it from some random place was risky, and here was almost my reinforcing, validating catharsis - but alas, it's just about some IRC client that nobody uses.

It was a very good game. A couple months back I found the original (Windows) CD and wanted to install it on my Linux netbook, but, unfortunately, couldn't find it. Gave up completely.

Err, this isn't an IRC client, but an IRC server. I don't know about this specific version, but the unreal ircd is quite well used. This is big news.

That's what MD5 sums should really be more often used.

I don't think so. Checksumming is useful for detection of errors during download. When it comes to security, we have pgp.
