I hope the "Check to see if the contact already has the plugin installed, otherwise the transfer is done by the Messenger's file transfer" feature will be included soon

I think it's not possible to check that automatically, since there are various factors that could cause problems in the checking process. So, it's better to have a button in the transfer window to send the current file using MSN. You would have to ask if your friend has the plugin installed, but I think it wouldn't be a problem.

i'm using xp with large fonts and some of the text in the configuration windows is not readable

I'm afraid that's a limitation of Visual Basic 6 (the development tool used for File Transfer Plus). It cannot be fixed as far as I know.

Does it compress before sending or while sending (like the compression some filesharing programs use)?

---

It compresses while sending. Specifically, it compresses as much data as it can to fill up the packet before it's sent, and that's done for each packet. The processor overhead is very acceptable (it uses up to 3% here, Athlon 1700+).

How about letting you send a file by typing the path/filename as parameter for the command, for example: /xtpsend <path/filename>?

That's a good idea, I'll try to add it for the next release

About the proxy problem, I think it's because your proxy rejects your attempt to connect to your friend. Another possibility would be an incorrect IP address (ask him if the IP shown in the 'transfer accepted' messange is his internet IP) or blocked port on your friend's side, but it's not likely since you said he opened those ports. I'll research about proxy support, hopefully it will work in a future release.
