Note: As you may have heard, the Geocities web service will be shutting down in the next few months. With this in mind I relocated the contents of this guide to WikiBooks (a sister project of Wikipedia), well known as a place where anyone can vandalizeedit the pages. Please make sure you (and those from who you may have found out about this site from) use the new address. The new home for the guides is here:
Downloading Files from IRC
Drago
Part of - Drago's IRC guides
When mIRC is opened, the options menu should pop up:
In the "Category:" window under "Connect", click on "Options", and put a check mark next to "Reconnect on disconnection"
Next, click on the "DCC" category. And click on the "\/" to the right of "If file exists:" and select "Resume". Also for "On chat request:", select "Auto-accept" and check "minimize"
If your confronted with the "Auto-Get Warning", click yes and enable the feature. Enabling auto-get does not mean viruses will takeover your computer, just don't be an idiot and open files sent to you that you didn't request.
Now click on the "+" sign next to "DCC" to open up the sub menu.
Now we are going to click on the "Ignore" in the sub-category that just opened up and click on the "\/" to the right of "Method:". Select disabled and un-check the box next to "turn ignore back on in:"
That's it, all done.
