Problems With File Transfer

[Programmer In Training]

Generally the only protocol that I try to use the File Transfer feature 
is Yahoo (at least lately). Sometimes the transfer works and the file 
goes through, most of the time though it will not start. Here lately the 
person on the other end is also using Pidgin, although that isn't always 
the case (it's always been hit or miss on whether transfer will go 
through or not).

No firewall, router properly configured, and files range from a few 
bytes to a couple of MB. Is this a bug that's already been submitted?
