New User Instructions:
Before attempting to setup as a server, verify that your mirc can DCC send files. No server (OmenServe, or any other) will function if MIRC can not. - Attempt to START (not receive) a DCC chat - No DCC file sends will ever work, with any serving script, if you can not start a DCC chat
Sends that fail are 99% of the time, caused by firewall or router issues
If you have a router, go to www.portforward.com for instruction on your brand of router
If sends work, but are slow, MIRC/OPTIONS/DCC/FSERVE/MAX CPS change from 8k cap, to 0
