Also, the only ones I see complain about the performance
of DCC file transfer, are all you anti file traders .. file traders
obviously think it works just fine, myself included.
- There's a near-continuous stream of complaints from filesharers about the lack of mIRC's ability to support multi-source downloading, magnet URIs, transfer speed limiting, etc.. And besides those points there are plenty of technical reasons why DCC and mIRC's implementation of it isn't suitable for large-scale filesharing, (ie. high fragmentation of hard drive, ACKs, 'temperamental' resume feature).
mIRC shouldn't limit the filesizes that DCC can send, it would hurt legitimate uses far more than illegitimate ones. To be honest I really don't care about the legality of filesharing, but whenever someone such as yourself suggests that mIRC is halfway decent at being a filesharing program I can't help but point out how wrong you are. The simple practicality of mIRC and DCC, as I have just explained, makes them far inferior to a plethora of other programs and protocols for which filesharing is their intended purpose. It frustrates the hell out of me to see people so determined to use absolutely the wrong tool for the job.
