Mirc does it because either you are on an irc net with them and sent them a
ctcp dccfilesend, or you knew the ip#. File sharing programs share thru a
sharing server (with a static ip or static hostname), which the program
contacts to let know you are online at what ip#. Only if the logon name is a
valid host or ip can you "guess" what the ip is.
