ISBN 978-1-886411-29-6. On large networks such as the Big Four— EFnet, IRCnet, Undernet, and DALnet— trying to list the thousands of channels with Ircle always causes you to disconnect due to the flood of information, while other clients can usually manage the feat, if you are on a direct Ethernet connection.
