No, what I actually want to do is make a plugin that actually does the upload/download through a better protocol than MSN's protocol, maybe with zlib compression. Anyways, it will try to be fast with or without firewall on.
Of course it will have to use a ping-type check to see whether the other user has the plugin. If they have it, upload using its own protocol, if not, use MSN basic transfer.
I am currently thinking whether it should be done in C++ or C#...
Is anyone willing to give some ideas, or does anyone want to help on this?
Thanks for the feedback,

C# or C++? Is it really that much of a choice?
You said you wanted it to be fast... then use C++
Besides, I thought zlib is only available for C/C++ ?
when i said fast i was reffering to fast transfer speeds, C# can be fast as well..
However, I have decided to use C++
I made myself a plugin installer tonight.
I will definitely add a resume function at some point in time. First i have to get this thing working.
If anyone wants to help, they are most certainly welcome. I do not know Windows Sockets programming *yet*, but I will have to learn it...
