since he isn't around much more im hoping someone else can help me. basically this is the snippet here:

http://www.mircscripts.org/comments.php?cid=2968

i havent pasted the whole code here because there are also comments in there which may be useful to some of you in fixing this! my problem is this:

Code:
//echo -q $download($mircdirfootball.jpg, GET, http://www.dorlingkindersley-uk.co.uk/static/clipart/uk/dk/football/image_football006.jpg, 2))


now that works fine if my mirc.ini is in the same folder as the mirc.exe but if my mirc.ini is in the Application Data/mIRC folder then i get this error:

$download: Error - no data could be retrieved - http://www.dorlingkindersley-uk.co.uk/static/clipart/uk/dk/football/image_football006.jpg
