** Download / Leeching


--> To download files, you need to see f-server advertisements. To get a list of these f-server ads you have to type: "!list" in the channel window.



--> Now a bunch of f-server ads will scroll through the screen:



Let's use one of the f-serv ads in our channel as an example:



** AHla = The name of the f-server.
** Trigger = This is what you have to type to get into the f-server.
** Users = The number of people who are in the f-server at the time you typed !list in the channel.
   (0/2) means 0 people are in the f-server, and a maximum of two are allowed in it at the same time.
** Sends = The number of files the f-server is currently sending.
   (2/2) means her f-server is sending 2 files (-out) of the maximum two she sends simultaneously.
** Queues = The number of slots and the number of requested files, queued by other people.
   (5/20) means there are 5 files waiting to be sent to other people before the file you requested is sent to you.
   The "20" stands for the maximum number of slots available.
** Record CPS = The fastest speed at which a file was sent.
** Bytes Sent = How many bytes the f-server has sent. A total of 40.3 Gigabytes in this case.
** Files Sent = The number of files the f-server has sent. In this case, a total of 5,840 files.


--> To access her f-server and download the files, you need to copy her trigger in the channel.
As we can see, Ahla has 3 active Triggers:
   /ctcp AHla gimme forever-more releases!
   /ctcp Ahla gimme some canto-pop!
   /ctcp AHla Saa Koi ni Ochitamae is so cute!

** A trigger always starts with: "/ctcp"
If you mistype the trigger, for example: "[/ctcp or ctcp", you might get kicked or even worse, incur a temporary ban from a channel.

If you're unsure where the trigger "ends", you can recognize it by this:

--> Copy the trigger, paste it in the channel, then press "Enter".



--> This window will appear on the screen:



--> Type: "dir" to see a list of the files in the f-server:



--> As we can see, there are 3 folders (Artbooks, Shoujo and Yaoi). If you want to see what's inside of one
     of the folders, type: "cd folder name" (this is to change your current directory into that of the folder's).



--> Now that you've "selected" the folder, type again: "dir" to see what is inside the folder:



--> We get to see even more folders. Let's say we want to get an Okane chapter. Type: "cd foldername" and then type "dir" again.
     cd OKANE GA NAI - dir

** Note: After you type a command, wait until you get a "response" from the f-server before you type your next command.



To request a file, type: "get filename".
So if you want to download Okane ga Nai ch10, you would type: "get okane_ga_nai_v02_ch10_[forever-more].zip".



--> As we can see, I've been placed in slot 4. This means that there are 3 other files ahead of me that
     needs to be sent to other people before my own send is processed.
     All you can do is wait patiently.

--> If you want to request files in other folders, you need to type "cd.." to get out of your current folder first.



Type: cd folder name   - and repeat that part of the tutorial all over again.

--> Once you're done, you have to close the f-server by typing: "exit" or "quit".



Then close the window by clicking on:

* DO NOT leave the channel or you'll lose all the files you queued there.

Once the file sends, this window will appear:



--> If you leave your computer during the download, you can take a look at your status window when you return.
     There you can see if the download is complete or not.
