O.P. RE: File Transfer Plus 1.0 RELEASE
1.0 RELEASE UPDATE
- File integrity checking (checksum) after completion;
This allows you to be sure that your file is not damaged before opening it.
- Customizable send file command (the default is "/xsendfile");
You can change it to avoid compatibility issues with other plugins. You have to restart Messenger for the changes to take effect.
- Advanced option: customizable packet size to match the connection's Maximum Segment Size (MSS);
Your send speed may be increased if you set your packet size to a multiple of MSS. To know the MSS of your connection, check it in the SpeedGuide.net website.
- You can now share the File Transfer Plus plugin with your contacts (type /xsharetransferplus to send them the setup);
This command will send the File Transfer Plus setup package to your contact using the built-in Messenger file transfer.
- Fixed ocasional errors that happened when the transfer was canceled;
- Bug fixes in Time Left and other minor fixes.
To update, just download the new setup package, close Messenger, install, and run Messenger again.
Features Postponed to 1.1
- Support for sending files in computers that block incoming connections (including firewall cases). This will be done by an option that sets the receiver as the server and the sender as the client.
- Preview feature for media file types.
- Check to see if the contact already has the plugin installed, otherwise the transfer is done by the Messenger's file transfer.
- IP address optionally encrypted.
- Command to check for new plugin updates.
Note that this version is NOT compatible with previous BETA releases.
