Does /sockread -f 8192 &somebinvar make sense or not?
Because if /sockread cannot read more than 4k in one time, then it doesnt make sense.
I think it make sense because there is a note after what you've quoted in the mirc help file about /sockread :
Note: A single /sockread may not be enough to read the entire buffer. You should keep reading until $sockbr (bytes read) is set to zero. This is far faster than letting mIRC re-trigger the event. If your script doesn't read the whole buffer, the on sockread event is re-triggered if:
a) you were reading into a &binvar.
b) you were reading into a %var and there is still a $crlf terminated
Maybe it's not what you mean,but I think you'd be better to try
