I'm trying to set up a fileserv on IRC to distribute a file via my home connection instead of simply swamping the HTTP server. Essentially a "Ask for it in channel" instead of a direct download.

I downloaded sysrest to serve with, and seem to have everything from the /ctcp trigger to the destination folder and welcome message correct. Only one problem. I still can't get the trigger to work in channel.

Why? I need to forward ports.
So what port ranges should I forward to the machine? I assume 59 and 113 (Please tell me if I'm wrong) but what else to get DCC fileserving working without utilizing the firewall workaround feature?

I don't have a firewall at the front of the network. Only a NAT router. I just want to forward the correct port range to the box for connections.

ok, in mIRC (assuming that is the actual irc program you are using with that script hooked into it) you go into options and set DCC port numbers, I use 4900-5000.

Then just go into your router settings and forward those ports and bingo

I don't have an answer to your question, but.. It seems to me like this is the sort of thing BitTorrent is made for. Unless you don't think there will be a critical mass of people interested in the file to keep the seed ratio up.
