They are not "requirements", but only options. "!" will run that exec line 
after /every/ .pkt that arrives. You don't want that. You want that exec line 
to run after all packets/files are recieved from the current connection. 
Removing the "!" will do that. "@" I have honestly never seen used, and you 
probably don't want a new window to be opened every time this happens, as it 
should run in the background. So you can safely omit both of those and you 
should see a faster/smoother process.

Regards,
Nick
