#12472: Yahoo File Transfer... Still....
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  Swashbunglar         |     Owner:  sulabh.dev
     Type:  defect               |    Status:  new       
Component:  Yahoo!/Yahoo! JAPAN  |   Version:  2.7.3     
 Keywords:  Yahoo File Transfer  |  
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 As of 2.7.3 I STILL cannot send or receive files via yahoo.
 I have default yahoo settings, no proxies. Files are said to be canceled
 before transfer is complete. The other side has the file just sitting
 saying it's still sending, or waiting for transfer.

 Even tried on fresh clean install, no plugins. No Improvement.

 Other client was Yahoo IM, and Trillian.. Neither worked.
 Why everything else works in pidgin, accept this is beyond me.

 I know there are many other posts of this nature, BUT in the changelog for
 2.7.3 under the yahoo section it says "Fix file transfers that get stuck
 with "Waiting for transfer to begin"."
 Which is misleading.. I assumed file transfers worked via yahoo...
 For me they do not. Unless there is some overly complicated, impossible to
 find instructions for a procedure making file transfers in yahoo work. It
 is broken.

 Pidgin 2.7.3 (gfire plugin)
 Windows 7 Ultimate x64
 AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 3.2ghz
 8gb DDR2 1066 OCZ Memory
