I found 2 bugs affecting the DCC file transfer, both present in the current version 2.28.

First... There seems to be some kind of race condition happening when you press the [clear] button in the dcc file transfers dialog quickly after a send has completed. It causes the client to crash instantly. Sometimes Limechat also crashes after a file has been sent even if you don't press [clear]. You simply just have to close the dialog window, or right-click a transfer and remove it from the list, and then Limechat will crash 20-30 seconds later.

Second... If you connect to an IRC server and not join a channel, but just open a privmsg window to another user, you cannot access the "DCC send file..." menu item when right-clicking the user's name. It's only possible to DCC a file if you have joined at least one channel on the network.
