Ric_ Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I run Gaim on Debian Etch and have noticed that file transfers take a ridiculous amount of time (particularly with one user who uses Live Messenger on XP). I'm currently receiving a 700K image at 0KB/s!!!!!! Any thoughts? I know that my friend's ADSL connection is relatively slow but three uploads shouldn't kill the connection on a 128kbit uplink and I have a 2Mbit downlink on cable.
Ric_ Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Think I answered my own question after a bit of googling.... it seems that the reverse engineered file transfer protocol isn't too fantastic in Gaim and, as a result, gives dodgy transfer results - particularly from Live Messenger (something to do with MS servers). I just need to persuade all the windows users to switch to a decent messenger client.
Ric_ Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 http://www.gizmoproject.com Your point being?
CyberNerd Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 That you need to convince your windows users of a decent messaging client, and that I consider Gizmo to be a good messaging client - for my needs at least.
