Title:
  Autoaccepted DCC transfers fail; manually-accepted ones work.

Status in GNOME frontend to the popular xchat IRC client:
  Fix Released
Status in “xchat-gnome” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
