+======Synopsis:======
+[[dcc]] resume [=]<nick> <file>
+======Description:======
+If a previous [[DCC]] [[DCC GET|GET]] file transfer from another person did not
+complete successfully, you may be left with a partial file.  Normally, you
+would have to start over again, but if you are trying to get a very large file,
+you may not want to start over again.
+Certain other irc clients for non-unix platforms implement this DCC
+transfer mode, whereby a file transfer which was previously incomplete
+may be resumed at the point the previous transfer stopped.  The manner
+in which two clients negotiate a resumed transfer violates the irc
+protocol in two manners and so is in disfavor among certain people.
+However, if violating the rules of irc doesn't bother you and the
+warning that using this feature could cause your connection to get
+into an infinite loop with another client doesn't alarm you, then you can use
+this feature to resume a previously incomplete /[[DCC]] [[DCC GET|GET]].
+It is necessary for your epic client to have been compiled with
+[[compile_opts|#define]] MIRC_BROKEN_DCC_RESUME (it is by default).  You can
+check this by examining $info(o) and if it includes the letter 'i' then this
+was #define'd.  It is necessary for you to have /[[SET]] [[set
+MIRC_BROKEN_DCC_RESUME|MIRC_BROKEN_DCC_RESUME]] ON (it is OFF by default).
+After you have taken these steps, you may use /[[DCC]] RESUME to restart
+the file transfer where it left off.
+Not all remote clients are capable of [[DCC]] RESUME.  If you attempt to [[DCC]]
+RESUME with someone whose client does not support it, the entire transfer may
+fail and you may have to start over.  Check to make sure that the other person
+is OK with you doing DCC RESUME before you try.
+======Examples:======
+To restart a transfer with joebob:
+  /dcc resume joebob somebigfile
+======History:======
+The /[[DCC]] RESUME feature first appeared in EPIC4pre1.049.
