edgeirc servers
EdgeIRC currently has a bunch of different servers. If you want to link to us, you must have at least a DSL or cable connection, preferably low latency/packet loss and with good transfer rates. We’re using a customized version of slashnet’s cyclone server for our ircd (irc daemon). It is only available for UNIX-based systems (Linux, BSD, etc.).

The round-robin
The round-robin for EdgeIRC is irc.edgeirc.net. This is a “virtual” server that will connect you to a randomly chosen server in the network, and is the recommended way to connect—it helps balance out the server load. The current round-robin servers are acm, cutting, and package.
acm.edgeirc.net
| Connection: | Multiple T1 lines |
|---|---|
| Location: | Hammond, Louisiana (USA) |
| Admin: | DerTeufel |
ACM is being run from Southeastern Louisiana University. It has a fast connection and is well-administered, so it currently serves as one of the two hubs.
cutting.edgeirc.net
| Connection: | Cable |
|---|---|
| Location: | Syracuse, New York (USA) |
| Admin: | bspit |
A hub server, cutting is managed by 3 network admins and protected by the most paranoid firewall around. As long as it’s not being attacked by icicles, it’s very stable, and it is currently hosting services and our socks checker.
edge.edgeirc.net
| Connection: | Cable |
|---|---|
| Location: | Aylmer, Quebec (Canada) |
| Admin: | Cyber_Ass |
This was one of the first EdgeIRC servers, along with qid (now called moe) and khea. It’s been around for a long time and runs very well, although it’s been eclipsed by some of the newer servers on high-end connections.
midi.edgeirc.net
| Connection: | DSL |
|---|---|
| Location: | Kokkola, Finland |
| Admin: | Midian |
One of the newest servers, midi has resurrected EdgeIRC’s European presence, a welcome change for our many users across the pond.
moe.edgeirc.net
| Connection: | Cable |
|---|---|
| Location: | Buffalo, New York (USA) |
| Admin: | qid |
Another one of the original servers, moe has returned in cable-connection form as yet another east-coast server. It should work well, as long as it doesn’t get buried under snow.
package.edgeirc.net
| Connection: | Cable |
|---|---|
| Location: | Undisclosed, Oregon (USA) |
| Admin: | Woo |
A relatively new server, package has proven to be stable enough to go in the round-robin and should continue to provide good service.
