Hi,

I know this is a big ask but I have an account on a linux machine with
a ulimit on files created is 125MB.
This means any large files that I attempt to dcc lead to file size
exceeded error.
I contacted the admins but they said I was free to split files but
that they would not change the ulimit.

As you might have guessed, I don't know any programming languages. So
is there any version of irssi that can split files as it downloads
them, I understand resuming would probably be impossible. Any skilled
c programmer wanna try doing it as a project? or indeed point me
towards the files I might need to change and perhaps give us some
hints. I went through the source, found dcc.c, and well I presume
thats where I should be changing things.

Basically help is what I'm after here, be that a little or a lot.

Thanks for anything you come up with.

John
