Hello J.P.,

Sorry for the late response.

I applied your latest patch (0002) and file transfers larger than
120~150 MB, as well as much larger ones, completed successfully!

The only different behaviors I noticed in Emacs was the fact that it
stops responding when transfers go beyond a certain percentage of
completion (I couldn't be sure of the number, but in my experiments it
happens above 45%) and the impossibility of transferring more than one
file at the same time.

Other than that, transfers go as expected.

Thank you! I'll be using this patched version of `erc-dcc-get-filter'.

Hi Mattias,

Thank you too, and just like J.P. wrote in his previous message, your
observations have been fundamental to solving the problem!
