I finally have mIRC and I know to download stuff and to work on it, Thanks Daddy Mack!!

I only have one problem... I know how to download, today I tried to d/l something. It said something like "Make your DDC to get files from transfer"... It's really not the exact words, not even close, and after it gave me a timeout thing...

Please help if you know something similliar to that b/c I'm really lost. THANKS...

Ummm...I'm lost. What's the problem/question?

What kind of file were you trying to download?

Tom_ea

Mike - The problem is that I can't download stuff because it gives you a message from the person you want to download from that tells you to do something, but I don't understand what or how.

Soren - All the files I wanted were already "full of slots in query" or something. So I just put something they offered... um, that was just 2.2MB. It's a software. I had not even looked what I was downloading.

Um...maybe if you downloaded mIRC you'd may have to dccallow the person you're downloading from...I think...im not sure. You can do that by typing /dccallow +username Although I would suggest using a mIRC Script such as Syris or Sysreset to download from IRC because they're easier and you usually don't have to mess with the settings much...

But remember, if the queue and send slots are full on a server, then you can't download from them.

^ I downloaded a script called Mayolse or something... It's already deleted so I don't know what it was. I don't know to use it... The people I know with mIRC have scripts.

Some networks won't allow you to send a .zip file to someone unless he has first dccallowed you. And if you get a message saying someone is trying to send you something click accept or whatever
Also, in mirc, make sure you turn on auto-get and if file exists: resume and disable Dcc-ignore, that's really all you need to tweak. And you definately don't need any other script.
Edit: also uncheck the box "Turn ignore back on in:"

I did the DDCallow thing (I think) and then it gave me more time... But I'm not so sure...

Isn't it dangerous to keep it "auto-get"? If, for example I go to sleep and keeping a download open - People can send me viruses when I'm asleep. Well, I guess I just won't open anything/check with Norton anyway. Well, *clicks "Yes"* it's on now.

How do I disable the DDC ignore? Sry, I only have it from yesterday so I'm not such professor yet.

And what do you mean "uncheck the box "Turn ignore back on in:" - Where, what?


----- Thanks!

Having a virus on your computer without activating it shouldn't
do much harm, and unless you blabber out with it (having auto-
get enabled) to everyone and their grannies, not everyone
would know you've got it enabled, and the possibility of some-
one sending you stuff you don't want falls .

I've had it enabled myself for quite some time now, and I've
never had any problems with it... on the contrary - now I ac-
tually have a chance in getting the files I queue .

to your scanning with Norton policy... that's the
way it should be... and the way more people should think .

change ur irc to allow u to get all file endings, like zip, m2v, mp3, mpg, wmv, rar, etc.
