when i type in the filename of the song that i want, the accept box pops up and everything is fine until i press accept and the box with the bar that shows the progress says that "transfer incomplete". what settings do i have to put it on? what do i have to do to change it?
Update:it says "file unable to open" and "transfer incomplete".
Verified answer
you need to make sure your settings don't block or ignore files with certain extensions - by default mirc will as a security measure.
to check this, goto tools > options > dcc > ignore - this should be either set to disabled, or you should create a custom list of filetypes it's ok to accept. also untick the 'turn ignore back on' option.
this could also likely be caused by firewall problems too of course, if a firewall/router is blocking the peer to peer connection between your computer and theirs you won't receive any files.
to remedy this, you should visit this site, choose any router you may have, choose mirc, then follow the instructions for unblocking ports to allow an interrupted connection:

you also need to bear in mind that a fair amount of the 'bots' on irc are running on the computers of people that don't know they're hosting illegal files so if they make any changes to their system the bot will still connect to irc but no-one will be able to connect - under these circumstances you should try another source.
Ehm..
