First of All grab the below two files:         
   http://www.lordsomer.com/files/irc/xdcc/fp.irc
   http://www.lordsomer.com/files/irc/xdcc/screen-3.tar

Reqs:
   1 Telnetable Shell with a compiler either cc or gcc and irc installed
   2 Above Files
   3 The Stuff you want to offer

Now Onto Installation:
  Telnet in after upping those to files, and go to the dir you upped them to
  tar -xfv screen-3.tar
  go into the dir made by tar(screen-3.7.2)
  (Next 4 lines are seperate lines you type into the prompt followed by enter)
  ./configure
  ./make
  ./screen
  irc
  Once in Irc Do the following
  /server irc.gate.net
  /nick yourbotnick
  /join #warez.somer
  /load fp.irc
  /offer
    (it asks for path to your file, enter in full path unless you were smart
        enough to start doing this in your warez dir.)
    (With the path set, now enter in a description like Memphis Beta 1)
    (Then a note should be like Offered by LordSomer or a descrip of the
        prog or just hit enter)
  Repeat the above commmand till you have them all entered in
  /xdcc minspeed 1.0
  /xdcc list
     (You should see your list of warez be offered by the bot.)
  /ptime 4
     (This is num of minutes betweeen auto listings)
  /pchannel #warez.somer
     (This is how you add chans you want to have the list auto offered in.)
  /xdcc save
  /save
     (These will save your settings but if you restart it you'll need to
       redo the ptime and pchannel, pretty stupid aint it?)
  hit CTRL+a then d
  it will detach you from the whole irc thing
  you can logout of the shell and your xdcc will still run.

If your bot at anypoint in time dies just log into your shell go to the dir
 you put screen in and type ./screen then cd ..
 then 
  irc
  Once in Irc Do the following
  /server irc.gate.net
  /nick yourbotnick
  /join #warez.somer
  /load fp.irc
 Then just reset your pchannel and ptime settings.
  hit CTRL+a then d
  it will detach you from the whole irc thing
  you can logout of the shell and your xdcc will still run.

Say ya wanna edit something and you've already logged out....
  just log back in and do screen -list from the dir you installed screen in
  it'll list all screens find the one that has (DETACHED) on the end and do
  ./screen -r (the on that was detached)
  and your back in irc and just do the above steps like usual.
