1. Help leeching (fserve)
Start with "!list". Each server in the chan will msg you their server ad.
This advertisement contains all the relevant information you need to leech
them. The ads are also sent to the channel, but !list is faster anyway.
An fserve ad will contain one or more triggers. Each trigger provides access
to a unique fileserver, where you can download files. You must send to the
channel the trigger, exactly as it appears in the ad (ie, "!Q" or "/say !Q").
The server will DCC chat you (so make sure you can receive DCC); accept and
you're in! If the server doesn't chat you, you did something wrong. Double
check the trigger, and check what you sent to the channel.
Once you're in the fserve, you can navigate using various console commands;
each fserve may vary, so use "help" to get a list of available commands.
Here's some typical Polaris fserve commands :
cd
- change to the directory
dir - list the files and directories within the current directory
get - queues the file for download
Hint: in Polaris, directories are listed as UPPERcase, and files lowercase.
So, you're browsing someone's anime collection. If you see a file you want,
type "get foo" to get the file foo. It'll be queued for delivery, and when
you get to the top of the list, you will be sent the file you asked for.
NOTE: it gets sent to the nick you were using when you "get'ed" the file, so
if you change your nick while you're waiting, you won't get your file.
NOTE: If the queue is full, you'll have to wait. Check the fserve status
with the "sends" and "queues" fserve commands.
NOTE: Don't try to stay on the fserve while you wait, it's rather rude. Your
send will get there when it gets there. ^_^
