so I recently downloaded mIRC. When trying to connect to a few
different servers I get the following:

[10053] Software caused connection abort

I am brand new to IRC chat and am unsure where to go from here.
Googling didn't really help out unfortunately. Hope this is the right
place to post this. Let me know if other information is needed.

Here's a really good explanation of the IRC error codes. It is from
the mIRC site but it applies to the IRC Standard, not just mIRC.

> [10053] Software cause connection abort
Scenario: Joe and Mary are on their cell phones. Joe's battery freaks
out briefly, making him think that the call to Mary had ended, so he
hung up.
    This error occurs on the client-side for many reasons.
Essentially, it is the same thing as the next error (which is server-
side).

Yeah I saw this, but don't really know how to go about fixing the
problem.

You generally can't.  It's a problem with your connection to the
server...you can try using a VPN...or finding a way to route around
that...but it is probably being caused by a router along the route you
are connecting to the server on. - You could also use a BNC which is
kinda like a VPN..sorta...or you could try to change IP addresses from
your ISP but that is pretty much your only options. None of these are
guaranteed to fix the issue though. Just set your client to auto-
reconnect.
