Tim -
Yeah it does say it in the chat. You have to make sure that you have your dcc settings correct. When you say @nickname in the chat, nickname's IRC script it listening for someone to say @nickname. Once they see that, it figures out who said it, and then attempts to send them a listing of the files they have available. There a re a few different ways that happens. Some scripts run fserves. Those are pretty much like an ftp, meaning you navigate through the different directories and request files as you find them. If i remember right, the servers in disney-central don't work that way. There they instead send you a txt listing of the files they have available. Inside that listing is all the files, looking something like !nickname WDW - Epcot - Spaceship Earth - Full Ride.mp3 ::INFO: 23.4 MB. It will vary slighty depending on the software they use, but you get the idea. Since the text listing is sent in either a txt or a zip format you need to make sure that mIRC is going to accept it. (I'm assuming you are using mIRC on windows) Both of those file types are notorious for being used to carry/spread worms and viruses etc on IRC networks, so most software requires you to confirm that you really want to get the file that someone is trying to send you. To check the settings, go to DCC -> Options. The mIRC setting window should pop up. Under DCC in the setting window are four sub choices. Options, folders, Fserve, Server. Click folders. There is a check box, "ignore all files except...." You can either simply decheck it, so all files will come to your attention, or add the file types to the listing below. If you are just going to add things, make sure that .txt, .zip,. and .mp3 are all there as thsoe are hte three types used in that channel most often. Then go to the main DCC settings window. (just click on DCC on the left) On the top of that is "On Send Request" with three options. Make sure that "Ignore all" is not checked. Either of the other two will work. However, if you plan on queuing up files, and then leaving to do something else, I would choose "Auto Get". If you don't choose that, when they try to send you a file you have to authorize it. Which helps to minimize the amount of junk you get, but also means you have to sit there and watch for new files. Since most people in there allow you to queue up multiple files, I would select "Auto Get" so you don't miss em. If you don't accept the file send in a certain amount of time, most scripts assume you no longer want em and won't send you any of the files you queued.
Once all that is done, request a file listing. It should download to a folder called "download" in the mIRC folder. Go in there, and open it. Find the files you want, and copy the part of the line that says !nickname Epcot - blah - blah.mp3. Anything after the .mp3 isn't needed and some scripts won't work if you do paste it. That line is called the trigger. The !nickname tells nickname that someone wants a file, and then the rest of the line tells them what file they want.
Hopefully that should help. Let me know if you need more help.
