Does mIrc block the download of zip files?

[Kishkumen]

I have been having downloading some zip files I want using mIrc and was wondering if anybody knew if and/or why the download of .zip files is blocked from my mIrc client. I can download .rar and so forth but the download of .zip files never seems to be initiated. I've looked through all the mIrc settings and can't seem to find anything that specifically blocks zip files. I've gone into the DCC Options and set DCC Ignore to Disabled and added *.* to DCC GetFolders. Any ideas on how to turn on the downloading of zip files? Do I need some sort of special script for this?

Thanks!

you could try typing /dccallow +nameofserver

Hey, Wow, that worked! Strange mIrc won't allow zip files by default and that there's no obvious (to me) way of changing that, but as long as there is a way.

Thanks for the info GhettoFob, it's now locked in the "things to remember" area of my brain.

actually i don't think it's because of mirc itself, it think it's set by the different servers like dalnet/efnet because ppl dl anything like trojans or virii and they block off the typical file types by default, oh yeah, no problem
