[Non-plus!-related] File transfers during chats don't show up by badpassword on 03-02-2005 at 03:57 PM
This is not a msnplus-related problem, rather a MS Server problem, but since this is a forum related to MSN not MSNPlus i'll ask it here.
So: when sending files during long Instant Messagging sessions, usually the transfer proposal messsage don't show up on the other side while other messages do.
I'll try to explain it better. You are chatting with MSN to a friend of your.

You > Why, didn't the "photos.zip" download show up?
Friend > Nope

Friend > D'oh! Why did you cancel it?
You > It must have timed out...
As you can see, it is a rather unpleasant bug.. it seems it still shows up with the new 7.0beta version so it must be a server-sided bug... any workaround?

it happens on 6.2 too, and I doubt it's a server-side bug... 
maybe a firewall blocking your ip address
