if u loose the connection you can still resume on most files.

but sometimes packets ---- up if u stop and then start..

ive only had that happend once or twice.. in prolly thousands of files ive downloaded..

there isnt always a line.. but sometimes there is.. if my que time is any longer than an hour i always go an find a different channle.. like the tool song i just downloaded.. its prolly the hottest thing on mirc right now.. i was in que 20 on one channle.. flipped through a bunch of other channles tried it out and found one that had an empty que line cause the bot had just come online

and when it is ur turn u can get it at blazing speeds

idk.. to each his own i guess.. but i hate it when people bad mouth mirc just cause they cant get it to work..

Using a client that rations downloads compared to uploads? Hint hint.

buk9tp

every packet still has 50 leechers and 3 seeders

takes me 50 minutes to get one southpark episode off of torrents..

Some of us queue this ---- up and go to do stuff like WORK or SCHOOL or my two personal favs DRUNK and ----. When we come back, it is there, and that is all that matters. No one cares about your immediate gratification.

With IRC, you continually have to re-request your files depending on server/network stability and the fserv/xdcc's settings.

I've been on IRC since '97, buk. Shut the ---- up.
