you dont know what your talking about

right

lol? is that aimed at me? I was just thinking sending custom sounds directly to each other would save bandwidth for the central server, ie, sounds etc would be stored locally and when sending a sound it checks if the person has said sound and if not requests for it from the person sending.
When I said the feature would be limited I meant that the download random sound feature would not be functional without a central server.

As far as I know, I think the sounds are stored on the PC, the server is only used to validate and to gave those sounds faster to the one that request them o you send them to.

That is simply wrong.  The sounds are (also) stored on the server.

Edit: btw it seems to be working a little better now.

* New sounds you create are always saved to your local cache and always send to the server (even if marked as private) as this is the only way that your contacts can recieve them.
* Sound which are played by your contact to you, are send to you via the server if you don't have them.
* If you do have the sound already, it is loaded from your local cache, not from the server.
* The random sound feature gets a random sound out of the public sound library on the server (thus private sounds are impossible to get). As soon as you select "add this sound to my list", the sound is saved in your local cache.

That's what I ment!

I'm just not good explaining in english

the sounds should be sended directly to the contact when it is a private sound or the server is with problems

the main release of this msn 3.5 is because of the CUSTOM EMOTION SOUND, and now its not working...

hidden with bin laden (just kidding)

the sound feature is great, but
i think that a lot more ppl is using it than patchou have calculated for the server.

p2p would be good in these cases
