The following are a list of the most common short terms you waycome across. You don't want to look like a newbie by asking what they mean or dropping the chat that may produce a usefull contact
brb - be right back
lol - laugh out loud
j/k - joking
You all know how it feels when you're talkin
to someone online, and your mom is standing right behind u, reading every word that is on the screen. Then of course, the other person swears or something and your mom reads it.
To solve this problem, you simply press "1" when your parent is watching over your shoulder as you type. When your mom leaves, press "11" to let the other person know that they r gone, so u can have a normal conversation again.

Welcome to my attempt to educate newbies on how to get a file off a fserver.
Please maximize for better viewing.
For this example, let's say that 'NamelessFserver' is the fserver and you are 'MeTheNewbie'.
To get a movie, first look for channel 'advertisements'. Below is such an example:
====================================================================================
<NamelessFserver> My Fserve is up. Ratio: Off. Trigger: !HµM® god of serving. Files: 55. Snagged: 123.45Gb. Max CPS: 378128. Online: 0/5. Sends: 1/5. Queues: 0/35. Accessed: 5033 time(s). Note: Fserver with movies. «-{HµM®}-»
====================================================================================
The keyword you want to look for is 'Trigger'.
Type out everything between the word "Trigger:" and the dot before "Files".
So for the example above, the trigger is:
====================================================================================
!HµM® god of serving
====================================================================================
and thus you should type it all out or just copy and paste.
After that, you should receive a 'mIRC DCC Chat' request and you should click on 'yes'.
If you didn't receive the said request, then you'll probably receive a message saying:
====================================================================================
-NamelessFserver- FileServer is currently busy, try again later.
====================================================================================
When that happens, you just have wait a few minutes before trying again.
But sometimes a window pop up and you'll receive this message instead:
====================================================================================
DCC Chat session
-
Client: NamelessFserver (170.567.123.89)
-
Acknowledging chat request...
DCC Chat connection established
-
DCC session closed
NamelessFserver- Sorry, but I cannot get your mask, try and reconnect
====================================================================================
In the above case, you just have to disconnect your mirc and reconnect again.
Then, try the trigger again.
Once you succeeded in getting into the fserver,
a window should pop up and you should see something as similar as below.
====================================================================================
DCC Chat session
-
Client: NamelessFserver (170.567.123.89)
-
Acknowledging chat request...

<NamelessFserver> «-{HµM®}-» v0.50b (File Server)

<NamelessFserver> Accessed: 5039 time(s).
<NamelessFserver> Ratio: Off
<NamelessFserver> Commands: cd, ls, dir, read, get, quit, bye, exit
<NamelessFserver> stats, credit, ratio, who, sends, gets, top10, queues
<NamelessFserver> To get more info about these commands, type help.

====================================================================================
To list what folders and files are in the main directory, type: dir
For example, the dir command will give the following listing:
====================================================================================
<MeTheNewbie> dir
<NamelessFserver> [\*.*]
<NamelessFserver> ANALYZE THIS
<NamelessFserver> BLADE
<NamelessFserver> DOUBLE JEOPARDY
<NamelessFserver> ENTRAPMENT
<NamelessFserver> FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME
<NamelessFserver> HOLY GRAIL
<NamelessFserver> JAKOB THE LIAR
<NamelessFserver> JOAN OF ARC
<NamelessFserver> MUSIC VIDS, INCOMPLETE AND MISC
<NamelessFserver> UPLOADS
<NamelessFserver> three kings [1of1].rar 335006901b
<NamelessFserver> End of list.
====================================================================================
Usually you can distinguish between files and folders by looking at their names.
If the name is in capital letters, it's most likely a folder.
If it has an file extension, like .asf, etc, then it's a file.
To get into a folder, type: cd <folder name>
Then type 'dir' to list the directory of the folder.
====================================================================================
<MeTheNewbie> cd MUSIC VIDS, INCOMPLETE AND MISC
<NamelessFserver> [\music vids, incomplete and misc]
<MeTheNewbie> dir
<NamelessFserver> [\music vids, incomplete and misc\*.*]
<NamelessFserver> ..
<NamelessFserver> 3dfx_modern_medicine.mov 3832272b
<NamelessFserver> 3dfx_proud_worker.mov 20956445b
<NamelessFserver> MUSIC VIDEOS
<NamelessFserver> NEED OTHER PART OF
<NamelessFserver> SIMPSONS
<NamelessFserver> clinton.mpeg 3862560b
<NamelessFserver> floor.jpg 41745b
<NamelessFserver> newyears2.jpg 26724b
<NamelessFserver> sarah michelle gellar - posing as britney spears on snl.asf 11135388b
<NamelessFserver> south park [1of2].rar 176041463b
<NamelessFserver> the_spirit_of_christmas--south_park.rar 16887848b
<NamelessFserver> End of list.
====================================================================================
Note that to go back up one directory, type: cd..
If you see something that you want, then type: get <filename>
For example below:
====================================================================================
<MeTheNewbie> get 3dfx_modern_medicine.mov
====================================================================================
After that, you may get either of 3 response:
====================================================================================
<NamelessFserver> Sending 3dfx_modern_medicine.mov(3.7Mb).
====================================================================================
which means the file is being sent to you right now.
Note: You must stay on the channel, where the said fserver is, or your sent will be cut off.
Or
====================================================================================
<NamelessFserver> Queuing 3dfx_modern_medicine.mov(3.7Mb). It has been placed in queue slot #1,
it will send when sends are available.
====================================================================================
which means the file is being put on the queue.
Note: Don't worry, your queue won't be lost if you leave the fserver.
BUT it is necessary for you to be on the channel, where the said fserver is on,
to ensure your place stays on the queue.
Or
====================================================================================
<NamelessFserver> Sorry, there are too many send in progress right now
and all the queue slots are in use.
If you want to see more info on the current sends type sends.
====================================================================================
which means you just have to try again later.
To see the sends on the fserver, type: sends
For example:
====================================================================================
<MeTheNewbie> sends
<NamelessFserver> There are 3 sends in progress.
<NamelessFserver> Send #1: Hellraiser69 has 14% of the mummy [1of1].rar(394.1Mb) at 37148 CPS.
<NamelessFserver> Send #2: MeTheNewbie has 51% of 3dfx_modern_medicine.mov(3.7Mb) at 62080 CPS.
<NamelessFserver> Send #3: MeTheNewbie has 5% of 3dfx_proud_worker.mov(20.0Mb) at 55296 CPS.
====================================================================================
To see the queues on the fserver, type: queues
====================================================================================
<MeTheNewbie> queues
<NamelessFserver> There is 1 queue waiting.
<NamelessFserver> Queue #1: MeTheNewbie queued the_spirit_of_christmas--south_park.rar
using the FSERVE.
====================================================================================
To close the fserver, type: bye
====================================================================================
<MeTheNewbie> bye
-
DCC session closed
====================================================================================
And that concludes the fast-track lesson on how to get stuff from a fserver. Good luck!
