Likely because it needs a IRC server to set up the handshake, and the exposure of IP addresses. Never mind that DCC and NAT don't mix well.

- dijit 9y agoNo different than hitting a webserver. IRC networks cloak your IP address. I agree about NAT, but that doesn't negate the fact that it was peer to peer that worked for over a decade.
