MIRC HELP PLEASE!

[bigdaddy]

I AM NEW TO USING MIRC (USUALLY USE P2P PROGRAMS) AND I AM HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE DOWNLOADING...EVERY TIME I GET OR EVEN QUEUE A FILE I GET AN IDLE CONNECTION CLOSE.HOW DO I KEEP THIS CONNECTION OPEN? PLEASE ADVISE! THANKS

Okay. If you are a queue then you are on the list to get the file. It is like your buddy is holding your place in line while you take a leak. You go and do something else while he takes up all his precious time in line. Your request is there, but you don't have to have that chat connection open as long as you are connected, have MIRC on, and stay in the channel that you got the chat request from. Read some more in the help and on the Mirc site.

the most important thing is not to leave the chan. you'll get a slot to wait, in mirc options turn the "auto get" adnd "resuming" on, and go to sleep.

but you have to watch on "min. speed accepted", and if you connection is not fast enough, you can forget 'downloading' with mirc, beacuse you'll allways get disconnected, after the download started.

Thanks for the help!!!!like i said i'm kinda new with this mirc stuff.just one more question. it seems to me that files i am getting just arent as fast as when i use gnucleus. usually between 45-75kbs .everything i have gotten with mirc has been much slower and a longer wait.is this because i am a mirc newbie?am i missing something?........Thanks for not blasting me with insults.its nice to see some people still dont mind helping someone out!

There slow because most of the people running fserves on IRC are using there cable or DSL connection. Most cable and DSL ISP's limit there users upload speed to 16-40kbs.
