i never stated i download anything illegaly i just said i download things using the mirc client ! so that could just be ppls pictures .............. but yeha i have tryed unistalling mirc and reinstalling i did a clean install of win xp pr0 still does this i could download a 1kb text file and this would still happen but any other programe i use to download anything does not have this problem so i am pretty sure it is directly related to mirc ! and i would think the writer/owner of mirc would want to fix this beings they r trying to sell mirc as a product ! they would loose custmers if this happend to ppl ! becuz lets face it prolly half or more of the ppl who use mirc use it for filesharing so should just accept it and try and find a way to fix this problem ! but thats just my opinion !
