Bots? If you're downloading files off of IRC via XDCC bots and Fserves, you really should stop. IRC is a chat protocol, mIRC is a chat client - neither were designed, intended nor created for the purpose of file trading. It is also illegal in most cases (due to copyright laws) and is against many network rules. Aswell as this, it's also a big factor in the reason viruses are so rife on IRC nowadays, you're downloading off of clients that you have never met before (humans upload the files to the bots after all) so how do you know they aren't sending you viruses?
To save myself from a verbal battering (hopefully) I apologise profusely if you're downloading legit files from 30 different bots on different channels and networks, and ignore all of the above!
