Thanks to $download() you no longer need to script such a thing, you just specify something like:

var %url = http://mirc.stealth.net/download/mirc616.exe
if ($download(mirc616.exe, GET, %url , 2, binary)) run mirc616.exe
else echo -a Error retrieving data

With sockets, you sockread into a &binvar, and /fwrite or /bwrite to a file.

There's no difference to downloading plain text data, just using binvars instead of regular variables.

You can find various examples using the Search feature.

What feature, sockets? Sockets have been there since: 13/12/97 - mIRC v5.3

If you're referring to the $download snippet, I made it this month, it's brand new.

I said for the identifier $download.

its is possible use this identifier for all version of mIRC, except old versions?
