according to my logs the server was up at the times you guys where posting this. I have yet to disconnect from the server for almost 2 days.
Edit,
I forgot the command to find all the server choices you got (there is like 3 or 4 servers that you can choose from to connect to this irc server).
But I found this:
* - Ports: 6660-6670, 7000, 9999 (SSL)
