Some of the popular modern scripts [which add functionality to mIRC] are listed below.
If a script's download page is offline, you can always go to the home IRC channel to get a certified copy of that script.
Whichever script you choose, or choose not to use one is completely up to your personal preference. If you plan to share files on a more or less regular basis, you're advised to use a script designed for that purpose.
Not all scripts will include mIRC. Sometimes you'll have to download an appropriate version of mIRC.

mIRC Version Archive 2: »www.mircx.com/download.html
To prevent problems with security, always try to get the script from the author's webpage or channel.
And now to the scripts...

Polaris [2002]
Polaris is the grandfather of most modern fserve scripts, and is itself based on old scripts. Polaris initially gained a foothold got at the now-defunct Relicnet. It has been modified many times by many different people and dozens of different variations exist. jPolaris, Polaris+ and Polaris2002 include some of today's versions.
*Warning* Some copies of Polaris are known to contain a back door which is in the original Polaris 2K.
The primary, backdoor-free source for Polaris today is »www.polaris-central.com/ .
-----------
Scripting often goes awry, and most popular scripts auto-update. Meaning they connect to the author's web or ftp server and download an update patch which lets you keep all the settings and update the script without re-installing it from scratch.
Good luck in selecting the right script for you!
