Hello,
I'm new with Mirc.
Is it possible to limit bandwith on DCC sends?
Actually, when I send a file, It takes all my up bandwith, and i'd like to limit it.
Need help :-)

Options > DCC > Fserve .. total max CPS .. experiment with the numbers there .. 0 = disabled
and no, it's not just for fserves .. it just got put there

yes it is just for fserves, believe it or not. (I know, it seems too crappy to believe, but believe it)

Try setting it to a number lower than you know your available bandwidth and DCC a file to someone. It will go higher than what is set there.

Now setup an fserve and have someone get a file from it. It will follow the speed limit. wink

Since I've used the fserve part of mIRC quite a lot, I know all about this, and it is extremely annoying.

well, I do NOT use the Fserve feature of mirc, and it STILL controls the speeds of my sends .. mIRC doesn't know if you're using Fserve or simply typing /dcc send nick.

It distinguishes between the two for me. It has done this for me for every version for the entire time I've used the program, which is a few years. wink

Go ahead and try what I said to try.

Now, if it is only distinguishing for me, then this would be one crazy bug. wink

it may go "higher than the number you set" because it's Cps (1k = 1024Cps) .. but it STILL reduces the speed from what's available .. and it changes in real time .. as the send is in progress
