i dont mean to make it look irc styles, i mean more the way it works.. pure text based


!list
!download 13


with even just those two commands, where one listed ALL files, and the other was to download them, so it would look like this:

them:
!list
me:
1 blah.txt
2 blahish.avi
3 blahblah.mp3
4 mcblah.rar
them:
!download 1
them:
!download 4

and both those downloads are sent from me to them, or put in a queue with one being sent at a time or something
and if he has the option to detect if the other client has the downloading plugin or not, that could be part of this too, so it send with the plugin if the other user has it

well to me it looks like its able to make it. But i dont know who esle has any idea's for this

Do not reply on this topic again (file server plugin), there was a thread created for this:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=31018

Instead, back to topic: file transfer plugin....

RicarDog can't you just make a release now? I'm having a lot of trouble with these transfers because of n00bs behind NAT's and stuff.

I agree with Ezra, the bing limitation in the current version is no support nat...
any update available?

P.S.
Please change your plugin file name, setup.exe is too generic and when I save it in my plugin folder it's difficult to recognize with all other plugins

When I installed the plugin (and had it active in Plus!) all my transfers slowed down, and didn't 'go' fast (or faster...)

When I deactivated the plugin, the problem was solved. Allthough, I don't have a clue wich version I use, because I can not find a way how to find the version number...

Greets, GJ-tje

BTW: The version of MSN I use is Messenger 6.1.0211 (Windows X edition)

I haven't used it with Windows X, but the plugin shouldn't slow down your transfer speed (unless when it is transfering something of course), so I don't have a clue about your problem

You don't have to save the original setup.exe, because it makes a copy (transferplussetup.exe) in the plugin's directory when it's installed (for the share plugin feature).

Why not name it transferplussetup.exe in the first place then

Eheh it's my point

I've decided to release an ALPHA (incomplete) version of the plugin to the public. Here are the changes:

- Support for firewalled connections (passive transfer mode).
- Ability to set a default save folder.
- Resume go-back to prevent file corruption.
- IP address optionally encrypted (for better security in a multi-user conversation window).
- Plugin generates activity log for troubleshooting.
- Ability to preview media files while the transfer is in progress. If the file bitrate is less than the transfer speed, you'll be able to preview the entire file from the beginning without interruptions.
- Media files can have a different default save folder (overrides global setting).
- Ability to auto-accept file transfers from your friend list or anyone. The file is saved in the default folder.
- Transfer history log for improved management of the received files.
- Checksum optimized (specially for large files). It now uses zLib algorithm.
- Transfer can now be paused/resumed at any time.
- Transfer window optionally closes itself when transfer is complete.
- Default command to send files is now /xtpsend. Other commands are /xtpshare (share plugin) and /xtpabout.
- A lot of bug fixes and other improvements.

These are the things missing in ALPHA release:

- Check to see if the contact already has the plugin installed, otherwise the transfer is done by the Messenger's file transfer.
- Command to check for new plugin updates.
- Automatic compression on-the-fly. This may increase the apparent transfer speed beyound your connection bandwidth.
- Help file.

This version of the plugin is NOT compatible with previous 1.0 versions.

Download the plugin's setup package (706KB) and install over the previous version (close Messenger before installing).

Let me know if you like it

lol well mines had several installation errors, but i'll just ignore them and see if it works =P
