Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xchat-gnome
Open xchat-gnome. Go to Edit->Preferences->File Transfers & DCC. Make
sure "Auto-accept DCC file transfers" is checked.
Attempt to start a file transfer. It *should* start, but go to IRC->File
transfers and note that it's stuck on zero percent. The sending server
will time out; it appears not to have received the accept message.
Note that if "Auto-accept DCC file transfers" is *not* checked, the
transfer works properly. The problem has something to do with the
autoaccept option. As a consequence, the user can't queue files and walk
away; it's impossible to download files without time-sensitive user
interaction, which significantly reduces the usefulness of the DCC
client.
(The version I'm running is patched against bug 315243, which only
changes the GUI layout. I've seen the bug on the unpatched version as
well.)
I'll see about getting some network traces on this, as well as seeing if
upstream still has the issue; I have my own XDCC bot running, which
means I can see both sides of the equation.

Autoaccepted DCC transfers fail; manually-accepted ones work.
