How do I do Xdcc downloads on the command line?

I need a command line Irc client (e.g. Irssi) that can download files from a Xdcc bot.
I already tried Irssi, joined the channel and requested a file from the Xdcc bot using the usual /msg botname xdcc send #123, and the bot offered the file, but it said: Please set your client to receive the file. I already searched for an answer, but I couldn't find anything on how to accept files on a Xdcc download.
So, how do I download files from a Xdcc bot using Irssi or another command line client?
Also, which port do I have to open in my firewall for a Xdcc download?

You need to /dcc get botname; or set dcc_autoget to on.

The first is the command to accept files being sent to you.

The second is a setting to auto accept files being sent to you (which can be abused by others).

I suggest reading irssi's documentation, and reading about DCC so you realize that XDCC is just a bot using DCC.
