===============
ABOUT
===============
This script will check www.mirc.com to see if a new version of mIRC has been released. If one has, it will ask if you want to download it. If you choose to download the new version, a screen will come up with a list of available servers and their pings. Select one from the list and the file will be downloaded, then run (optional).


===============
Installation
===============
Installation is as simple as loading the script from within mIRC. To do this, start mIRC and type the following in:
(Note: <PathToScript> is the full path to the script, for example, "C:\mirc\scripts\updatemirc.mrc". Remember to enclose the entire path to the script in quotes if it contains spaces)
/load -rs "<PathToScript>"

A message should appear to inform you of successful installation. If not, something may have gone wrong. Try the above command and make sure the path is correct.


===============
How To Use
===============
This script will automatically check www.mirc.com when mIRC is first started. If you would like to manually check for an update, you can either:
(1) Type "/updatemirc"
(2) Use the right-click popup menu and select "Update mIRC"


===============
Known Bugs
===============
-The script currently doesn't handle mIRC updates stored on an FTP server. It ignores any mirror (listed on www.mirc.com) that has an ftp.* address and will only list those with an HTTP interface.
-Transfer rate is broken. A number will come up but I can't guarantee its accuracy.


===============
Disclaimer
===============
This script was written by me over a year ago, and I haven't really touched it since. I found it while I was cleaning out my hard drive and decided to submit it to www.mircscripts.org in case someone was interested in it. I quickly ran it on the most recent version of mIRC to make sure it still works, but I haven't thouroughly tested it since mIRC 6.14. I did patch up a few minor bugs I found while I was playing with it on mIRC 6.16 however, so it should be fairly bug free.

I would also like to state that I know several things are done poorly, especially with the sockets. Most of them are just hacks because I couldn't think of a better way to do whatever I was trying to do, but now they're stuck there because it would take too much work to go through and fix all of them.
