once the bot says its sending the file the download window comes up but nothing happens. it sits there not downloading for about 2 minutes then it says connection failed. its a pain in the ass after you've been qued for almost 2 days. any help is appreciated.

nothing can be done about that. that means the bot is messed up and the op's or person running the bot hasn't fixed it. you'll have to get the file elsewhere or tell the op's who most of the time no this stuff and sit on their butts doing nothing. they may give you a link to there ftp or put the pack on a working bot. maybe.

that's in the options settings. i can give you specifics in about 10 minutes when i leave campus and get home but if you look through all the options settings you'll find how to turn that on.

dcc > options > connect > Ident then just click the "Enable Ident server".

then that means the server itself has a problem. trying to get on later does the trick for the server or room.

hmm. if you have "dcc ignore" unchecked then i really don't know what to tell you. if not then go to dcc > options > dcc > folders and put dcc ignore on disabled and uncheck turn it back on in 3 minutes. even on 56k i was able to download stuff.
