If no [numbytes] is specified it defaults to 4096 bytes. So you can make it all in one read, if the socket has all the data stored already

It's not about a default but about a limit. I'll put it another way: 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.

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 : Quote: 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 #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel
