Forums mIRC Help Cant get files

Can someone help me out. What ever I do I cant seem to get any files anymore. Ever time I go to dload a file I get the following message: *** You have a DCC pending, Set your client to receive the transfer. (150 seconds remaining until timeout)------This is with almost everything I try to dload. I cant find anyway to get these files. This all started after I reinstalled my operating system. Since then I uninstalled and reinstall mIRC and same issues. Can someone help?

Make sure that you are able to accept all the types of files that you want to download. Go into the DCC Menu on top and pick OPTIONS. Go into the FOLDERS section and look at the bottom half of the window. It's entitled "DCC IGNORE". I recommend disabling it or setting it to "ignore only" and then deleting the file extensions that you do download.

Also, if you're on a network such as DALnet with a DCCALLOW system, then make sure that you add the person who's trying to send you the file to your dccallow list.
