I've finally decided to get into MIRC now that the hounds are after just about every PTP networks these days...<br /><br />A few questions for the MIRC masters:<br /><br />1. How do I tell MIRC to NOT download the file lists? They are usually a .zip format or .txt.<br />I am using Autoget for searching files, and I can tell it to delete those file lists after it downloads, but I am wondering if there is a way to tell it ignore the lists completely so it doesn't download them at all?<br />With Autoget, you don't need to see what the 'other guys' files are... Autoget displays whatever you are looking for.<br /><br />2. Is there a way to tell MIRC to NOT pop open a search window each time I search?<br />Again, using Autoget... I can search much easier and faster. Problem is, I typically have a bunch of servers and networks connected (15 to 20 MP3's for example) and when I do a search, it connects to all servers and pops open a bazillion search boxes.<br />It gets annoying closing them all!<br /><br />With Autoget, you don't need to even see the server window or searches at all. <br /><br />H.

As far as networks, I use FX, USA, FOX, OLN. Never used PTP. I have 2 Mercs, but no MIRC.<br />My Merc is not online, so it doesn't download anything.<br />Autoget is primarily for gro series, wo rka<br />rriv al, and boa ttow.<br /><br />I use scout and recon for searching, and then use HK usp, glo ck 40, and SKS, Rem .223 Varmit for long shots. :p <br />*****************<br /><br />Ok I know, its something to do with computers. :confused:

LOL Roscoe...<br />You're too much! :D <br /><br />Yea, I usually scout and then destroy with my 7mag, 22 mag, or .223 Ruger. !<br /><br />PTP= 'Peer to Peer' (file sharing in this case)<br />You know..Kinda like a Napster thing, except MIRC has been around long before any of the well know file sharing networks, and always will.<br /><br />It would seem the RIAA and other hounds have left MIRC somewhat alone as far as I can tell.<br />WHo knows when that will change.<br /><br />MIRC just doesn't do file sharing.. It's also a very HUGE chat network. Literally thousands of rooms and channels.<br /><br />H.
