However, for those that do have one, a minCPS is a lower limit on how fast your send must be going, measured in bytes per second.
MinCPS: This is not always found in these fserve advertisements, and not all fserves have a minCPS. Upload Speed: As the name suggests, this is the maximum speed that the fserve will send to you, so unless you're a dial-up user, you'll want someone with a high bandwidth here. Obviously enough, the lower the number, the shorter the wait generally. Queues: Normally there will not be a free send slot, so be sure to look at the queue length before hopping on. If the first number is lower than the second, there is a free send slot, and you will not have to wait for your file. Sends: This is how many concurrent file sends the fserve supports at one time, and how many are currently being used. Now, most of this is fairly self-explanatory, the main things to pay attention to are: Triggers: - Sends: - Queues: - Record CPS: -Bytes Sent: - Files Sent: -Accesses: - Upload Speed: - Current Bandwidth: Use it by typing search-term" to find all servers with files on them including that search term in their name.Īnyway, once you've done that you will be deluged with fserve information looking a lot like this sample which was taken from an actual fserve on IRC (with the names changed to protect the guilty): 
Also, one other command normally supported by most (but not all) fserves is which is a search function. If you are not sure, type !rules first, which by convention will /msg or /notice you the channel rules. Of course, it is a good idea to check the channel rules before doing this, as in some channels do not permit the !list command. This can usually be done by typing the command !list to the IRC channel that you are in, which generally cause all fserves in the channel to send /notice messages to you containing their details. The first step in using an fserve is of course finding one. This allows them to typically be more feature-rich than XDCCs, at the expense of complexity. As opposed to XDCC file servers, fserves are controlled by DCC Chat sessions, rather than using /msg commands.
An fserve is a file server found on IRC which allows other users to download shared files from the server's hard drive over DCC.
