I was connecting to ***Archlinux IRC channel*** but it again and again
pops out a message --**unable to connect. Reconnecting in next 10
seconds**\-- so what's wrong with this. I'm new to IRC conversation so
sorry for this stupid question but i didn't got any answer from
anywhere.

I'm using **Mibbit** IRC client. so is there a problem with my
connection.

Thanks

What are you using for the server etc? What's your process? What IRC
client? More information is needed.

>Archlinux IRC channel

I assume you mean ```#archlinux``` on freenode?

>Mibbit IRC client

If you are using the actual mibbit site, https://chat.mibbit.com/ and
trying to connect to freenode it will fail. Mibbit has been banned
from freenode for well over 10 years.


You can try using freenode's webchat: https://webchat.freenode.net/

If you need anymore help, you can join ```#freenode``` and ask. You
will get faster responses.
