i believe that gaim (0.67) has file sharing capabilities!

At a time gaim CVS had patchy support for sending/recieving on MSN, this was very dodgy and got removed.
It returned in 0.60 but only to recieve files.
In 0.61 I noticed that file recieve often crashed gaim.
0.62 has just released which may have imporved this, although the changelog does nto specifically mention it.
0.67 does not exist.
I belive amsn is more reliable for file transfers but gaim is a better overall client and is multi-protocol and does not remind you of windows.
Lord C:
The new Gaim looks nice, but its a shame about its filesending/receiving. it always crashes for me.
suselinux:
a program called Kopete came preinstalled on the SuSE 8.1 distro I bought, works great really simple to use, but no file sharing. Im pretty sure you can pick it up from a KDE web site or sourceforge.
I had allota problems with gaim, but I'm dumb. :D
Calum:
yeah that's right now i think about it, amsn does do file transfers, and it does them well, why the hell can't gaim just sort itself out when the work has already been done in amsn (another GPL project)?
