[Gimp-developer] Error when trying to connect to IRC: All connections in use

[Elle Stone <ellestone ninedegreesbelow com>]

Recently, when I try to connect to #GIMP IRC, somtimes there is an error 
message:

[INFO]  Connecting to irc://irc.gimp.org/ (irc://irc.gimp.org/)… [Cancel]
[ERROR] All connections in use
[ERROR]	Connection to irc://irc.gimp.org/ (irc://irc.gimp.org/) closed. 
[Help] Reconnecting in 15 seconds. [Cancel]

Is #GIMP IRC suddenly a lot more popular than it used to be? Or is there 
some other problem?

Best,
Elle
