I upload at roughly 63 KB/s with the default packet size of 4KB, but I get well over 300 KB/s with 32KB chunks. The problem, however, is that I often forget to change the setting before beginning a send. It's really obnoxious needing to cancel the send and resume it with the desired setting. I looked around and couldn't find any way to change the default. Keep up the good work

The DCC Send dialog cannot be scripted to change the default. edit: Either way, it doesn't appear that the /dcc send command has an option for packet size at all, only max cps. That would be a good thing to add, too! Last edited by CheeToS; 26/02/10 01:21 AM.

Then you'd right click a nick, select DCC Send from the menu, and enter the filename. Of course, you can make it more useful by using a file selection dialog rather than just an input event, but that gives you an idea. EDIT: Btw, I also think changing the default in that dialog is a good feature. This is just a way to make it work in the meantime. Last edited by Riamus2; 26/02/10 02:25 AM.
