How do you Force DCC in mIRC?

[DaveR]

I know this is dumb, but I have everything running OK for DCC. It will do an auto-receive, etc.

My question is...if it misses, or the server disconnects, I sometimes get a message saying I have a DCC Pending and I have 120 seconds to set my client to receive.

I do not see where I can force it to receive...what am I missing?

TIA

Did you go under Options --> DCC --> Options, and make sure "Show Warning" is unchecked?

Ew, auto receive is nasty.

My problem is NOT with auto receive. My problem is that if the server disconnects, it comes back and says I have a DCC pending and have 120 seconds to force the receive. It works 99% of the time, but when I get this message, I see no option to force the receive.

Let me get this straight:

The DCC is auto accepted and starts downloading
You get booted off IRC server
It reconnects but the DCC just sits there saying you need to force the recieve

I can't check right now, I'll have to look when I get home, but wanted to make sure I understood the problem. Never actually seen this problem first hand.

I've had auto recieve turned on since 1996 🙂. And its been pointing to the same directory all that time no less. I've probably gotten about 10 unwanted files in that period of time and I just delete them. Like I'd actually believe a friend sent me naked.scr.

Did you try any of the /dcc commands? Or even the help for /dcc?

I think I stopped using mIRC shortly after 1996. 😛
