I guess BT is much much more userfriendly, but XDCC is faster. Like linux (XDCC), the majority of the population sticks to windows (BT.) Just my two cents :P

Oh is there an easier way for the !list thing?
Sysreset has a fserv tracker you can use for !list.

As for the XDCC bots themselves, you do not need to do !list. Just directly do /msg botname xdcc list

They are normally named by the group's tag and then nick

For ex: A-K|botname for Anime-Keep, or AE|botname for Anime-Empire

And you are right, (linux) iroffer xdcc servers are the fastest. With so little code it optimizes speed in both linux and windows operating systems.

With Windows based MIRC, I can send at 175KB/sec to one of my MIT servers.

When I load the i386 compiled version of the linux iroffer, I can send at 1.5MB/sec to the exact same MIT server. Same source, same destination.

Iroffer is optimized for dcc sends.
