Hi mates. My problem is :
I need to download some files from DCC bots. Im using eggdrop for this (it`s on 100Mb line).
1. XDCC bot`s nick is added to my eggie`s userfile with +x flag
2. Im typin` ".msg <xdccbot> XDCC SEND #1"
3. Reply : CTCP DCC: SEND testfile.tar 3421364303 4809 59781120 from Xdccbot (~system@DC995F9439.secure.net)
4. Error msg: ALERT: (Xdccbot!203.237.224.79) sent a DCC request with bogus IP information of 203.237.224.79 port 4809. 203.237.224.79 does not resolve to 203.237.224.79!
and here`s last msg:

Problem with receiving file from XDCC bots in Eggdrop
XDCC per se is not against the rules, but assistance with illegal trading of software/movies/music is. If there is any evidence of this, like the words "Futurama Season 5 SVCD releases" appearing in the poster's question, you should not assist them. I'll eventually get around to deleting/locking the post when I see it.
It may be wise not to assist people with XDCC at all, knowing what it will most likely be used for. This is up to the individual.

Your bet is correct. I don't want to be involved in a illegal thing, even if I realy don't participate at it or by just giving some sugestions or something like this. Anyway, seems you have found the problem by yourself, congratulations. Next time pay a bit more attention to the .conf file or the stuff you use and there will no need to ask in here, not that I don't want you here or something, just don't like the illegal stuff. 
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
I can`t disrespect you but where were some allusion about warez in my question ? Your reply was totaly off topic.caesar wrote:Your bet is correct.

Im on slow link (512Kb) and one of my bots is on 100Mb line. Im downloadin` files for example beta isos from debian server to 100Mb server and then to my other bot located on my slow line.
Debian beta isos r changed frequently so if i`ll start download from my slow link those files r changed before i can finish download. All this things r automatic, without my manual assistence.
Enough ?
Shure thing.. but don't count on me in. A XDCC is and will be used for *illegal files transfer* in large channels and fr what you've said by a few users. Anyway, dosen't matter for what you use it, the main pourpose of it is the first thing I've mentioned. You can still use the *ftp* to do the same thing.

Silly .. FTP is and will be used *illegal files transfer* so we can throw all FTP servers and clients software to can ? And we`ll not speak about`em ??caesar wrote:Shure thing.. but don't count on me in. A XDCC is and will be used for *illegal files transfer* in large channels and fr what you've said by a few users.

Wake up.
P.S. It isn`t FTP server on that 100Mb server.
FTP servers come hand in hand with the internet, and have been around long before warez started flying about.
Hundreds of companies use FTP as a file transfer tool, because there is much support for it, you don't need a secondry client in most cases and the fact it is a proper map of at least some part of the disk archive (and will thus likely be available in a simalar fasion, if also provided over http and other mediums).
Yes, it is now used for warez, however, it's insecurities still remain.
XDCC is on the other hand, a far more easier subject to define between, when talking between legit files and warez. XDCC was again available before warez, but not as far away as ftp.
Seeing as you had to be on IRC to download these files, it never has and never will take off as a real transport medium, for legitimate files and such. Don't get me wrong, it is used for legitimate purposes, and from memory, BitchX was once avilable (may still be) via XDCC. However, strong caution from trojan aware users, has made this function decline.
In gods hoenst truth, XDCC isn't the best method of tranfer you could have chosen.
You could have chosen from
FTP - host limited anonymous, or login enabled.
SCP - Far more secure approach, and supported by all systems with ssh based access.
HTTPD - Even a web-server can provide better serving of files.
Why use eggdrop to accept the connection too? This isn't automated, it's a IRC rebot designed for protection, and using it for file downloads in this way, is the same as when IRC stoped being a chat medium and became a warez and porn peddling medium.
