F S e r v e H e l p 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. ^_^ t h e B a s i c s (In the channel ... ) 1. !list (File Servers Online) Triggers:(!Q & /quit touching my monkey) Online:(0/2) Sends:(1/2) Queues:(2/10) Snagged:(1.12Tb in 1 files) Record CPS:(999.9Kb/s byccessed:(31337 times) Note:(I like monkeys) «~{Polaris IRC}~» 2. /say /quit touching my monkey DCC Chat request from Maitre. «~{Polaris IRC 2001}~» v4.0 Platinum File Server This File Server has been accessed 1 times.
