mIRC Problems..

Kempy · 10-03-2004, 22:58

Hi, I download a lot of stuff from mIRC, but the speeds are abysmal, im on NTL 600k, and the max speed I have got on mIRC is around 5 or 6k's, on HTTP downloads it's fine, but it's just mIRC that gives me grief on download speeds. Is there a specific port I need to change to?, or does it all depend on the person your downloading off?

thanks.

Not sure tbh . I use mirc for gaming and occasional dcc transfers.

These run at avg 14/kbps if thats any help.

It depends how many people are sharing the bandwidth of the machine you're downloading from.

it does depend on the person your downloading from, also depends on how far away the other person is

i use mirc all the time on 600k bb, speeds of 70kbps most of the time

Do you know any mIRC channels for movie downloads?

I've looked on Quakenet and found a couple but can't figure out how you download from them.

Goto File/options & select (in category) perform
check (tick) enable perform on connect

cut & paste or type this in the large window make sure you get it exactly how i have posted it (below)

/fsend on | /dcc packetsize 4096 | /pdcc 9999999999999999

click ok & exit Mirc restart mirc, you should get an increase in download speed from people or servers that are equal to yourself..

if your still having speed problems

if you right mouse on the person you want to download from & select whois look in the status part find out which server he/she is using and re-connect using the same server and resume the download that should improve things.

Please don't discuss this on the board.

Thanks.

Speed is almost entirely dependent on the person you are downloading from.
