Synopsis:
   dcc resume [=]<nick> <file>

Description:
   In the event that a DCC file transfer is interrupted, DCC RESUME can be
   used to continue it where the original transfer stopped.  This is
   generally most useful to users with very slow connections to the
   Internet transferring large files.

Examples:
   To restart a transfer with joebob:
      /dcc resume joebob somebigfile

See Also:
   dcc(1) close, get, send

Restrictions:
   This command is only available if the client was compiled with the
   BROKEN_MIRC_DCC_RESUME #define enabled (in the config.h).  The client
   compile options string (returned when $info(o) is evaluated) will have
   an 'i' in it if this option is enabled.

Other Notes:
   It is very important that the user realize that use of this feature is
   a blatant violation of the irc protocol (described in rfc 1459), in that
   it makes the client respond to a remote PRIVMSG with another PRIVMSG.
   While this may not mean much to the average user, it is nonetheless not
   "the right way" to do things, and irc operators have been known to KILL
   clients that violate the protocol in this manner.
