Can u set it so that when u are downloading patches on mIRC on channel #BGT that if u get d/c and then reconnect ur patch will resume automatically. This is because i have freeserveand it auto disconnects after 2 hours. Does anyone know if ther is a way to switch that off?

Its ok guys its fixed. But does anybody know about the freeserve thing? Andrewas you have freeserve, do u know?

Its not doable with mIRC AFAIK, although there will be a program to do it. Ill have a look for one.

And no, you cant persuade freeserve to drop that 2-hour cutoff.

it is doable. Iv done it

have u tried emailing freeserve?

I spent half an hour trying to get auto-resume working on mIRC. Mind sharing?

And no, I havent tried emailing freeserve because it isnt a technical problem (not from their perspective) and it is mentioned in the terms of service agreement we both signed unread. Therefore they dont have any reason to drop the cutoff.

<font color="gold">It doesn't work for you? Weird.

Anyway, just start the download again (as in, use the "get"-command again), and when you've accepted the file, it will ask if you want to resume, or start all over again. ;) </font>

As in, I set the computer downloading, go to the pub, 2 hours later it drops the connection, redials and reconnects. I can do that on FTP transfer, but not DCC.

on options you have to go to connect then options then have reconnect on disconnection on. then u go to dcc and select auto get file and then underneath that resume. IT should work fne then
