Downloading files from a fileserver

Now for the important part, downloading files.

GET (filename.ext)

get Expedition.Preview.avi

If you type DIR in a fileserver and see a file called [sv]Expedition.Preview.SkateCrazed.avi that you want to download,
type: get Expedition.Preview.avi

You will get one of three replies from the server:

-Now sending file:
If you got this the server will be sending you the file right away.

-Queued: file at position: 4/5 (1/1):
Youve been put in queue on the server, position #4 out of a maximum of 5 queues.
the (1/1) indicates youve used 1 queue slot while the server allows for 1 queue per user.
you can now close the server window, and when its your time, the download will start.

-Queue is full: 5.
The server's queue slots were already full, your request is ignored.
time to go check a different server with free slots ;)

By default, any files you receive while you are on IRC will be saved in a directory called download in the mIRC installation directory, (example: C:\mirc\download).

Also, check your dcc options (file-options-dcc) to make sure that your auto-accepting dcc sends. Then check the dcc ignore options (file-options-dcc-folders) to make sure that your not ignoring the .avi or .mpg file types.
