DOWNLOADING:First off, DCC stands for Direct Client-to-Client. What's the difference between DCC chat or DCC anything and regular chat on channels? There's no server between you and the other guy. If you DCC chat it means you are directly connected to that person, no server involved. Why? Because it wouldn't make a lot of sense to send a file from him, to the server, then to you; when you could just send the file from him to you. You can /msg a person to talk privately with them and still have the server between you. If you DCC chat with them, it's usually because you want to transfer a file. There are two common types of DCC transfers that anime viewers like you and me have to deal with. XDCC bots and FSERVs. XDCC was initially a giant script written by a guy by the nick of "Xabi" in the mid-90's. The X just means eXtended, because the script extended DCC (Direct Client-to-Client) protocol to include some other stuff. Now we use it to refer to these bots that have extended DCC protocol that allows them to handle and send large files automatically, without having to enter a DCC chat first. FSERV's and XDCC bots do the same thing, but XDCC bots are usually hosted by the fansubber's themselves and don't require DCC chat to download files or browse, they just start a DCC transfer immediately after receiving and accepting a command.
I’ll just tell you about xdcc bots here, ‘cause FSERVs is too complicated for 13 year old brain and dcc is kind of useless if you don’t want to get or send a file to somebody.
Whenever you join a channel you will see the user list and some signs prefixed on some users, they are owner (~)admin (&)operators(@) voiced users (+)and half ops(%) and normal users who leechers like you and me.
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH USERS ARE XDCC BOTS?*they more often than not are either half ops or voiced users.
*some bots have the fansubbing/scanlating group name before them like K-F|Smoker (Kaizoku-Fansubs) AniM|Notes(animanda),remember that not all bots have this .
*xdcc list(see below)
*ask in the channel (not recommended, don’t blame me if you get kicked, banned or flamed.)
*browse their homepage.
xdcc list?
So now that you the bot name, how do you what files are in the bot?
For that just type this on the channel window
/msg <botname> xdcc list
/msg K-F|Smoker xdcc list
there are three ways the channel will tell you the bot list:
*link to a website
*.txt file to download
*or it will show you the botlist on the channel window
whatever way you should see something like this.
#1 109x [225M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_001_[44899E42].avi
#2 100x [225M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_002_[DC2AFB03].avi
#3 92x [225M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_003_[E8C81815].avi
#4 89x [178M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_004_[35E8EC6F].avi
#5 82x [171M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_005_[89BA23B1].avi
#6 84x [171M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_006_[84AB1A9C].avi
#7 87x [180M] [K-F_AKUPX]_One_Piece_007_[CFA2D23E].avi
….and so on.
The things to keep in mind are the bot name(K-F|Smoker) and the bot no.(#1,#2,#3……..)
So to download you have to type this in the channel window.
/msg <botname> xdcc send <bot no.>
/msg K-F|Smoker xdcc send #1
And you should see this
Turning ignore off:
Your mIRC client is set to ignore many file types so just turn the ignore off (see below)
THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.
AND DO NOT POST.
