I have no idea what you mean by passive/active bots. I have heard of passive and active DCC but not this.
I don't look at the bots' names, just do a
!sand get the xdcc command sent as a private noticeWell... it's the same thing.
An active bot will initiate the connection, a passive will wait for you to connect. If you are under NAT then the active bot won't be able to connect to start the transfer and the transfer will just die without you knowing.
The passive bots are identified with a 'p' in the name. Usually between pipes: |p|
Unfortunately more and more channels don't indicate if the bots are passive or active. This fucks up the user experience, specially if you are in queue for hours and then the transfer fails. I stopped using xdcc because of this. There are still some good channels though...
Try to use a passive bot and see if it helps.
All the bots I've come across are passive so far, and not labeled ¯\(ツ)/¯
But you are not the OP that complained about never getting anything from the bots 😏
You know the answer and still ask? It's been 5 days since I asked the question, you folks are very cool, thanks a bunch for making it possible for me to use xdcc
WTF are you talking about? I didn't ask anything. I was trying to help the fellow that said he couldn't download shit from scenep2p while he could from other networks.
Oh I got confused never mind.. Apologeez
