  It does require that one open a port in their firewall for it to actually work. xdcc bots usually would indicate which port one needed to open.

    Having open ports directly to the internet (by default) with dial up modems (before routers and NAT) used to be such a common practice. Things have changed, haven't they?

      That's a pretty good point I totally forgot about. Tho couldn't that problem "simply" be solved by updating the protocol to account for these changes?
