 Pidgin Download more than 1MB data to login

 so even when using a normal internet it takes sometimes over 1-2 minutes
 to login. In the dubug window I saw it download all contacts with their
 information and picture and address and all other details where Pidgin
 cannot use (e.g. their home address and...)

 I think Pidgin need file a solutiuon for this, something like Caching to
 re-use same data in next login or compress data in a proxy server or
 change something to download only essential data.

 when I open Pidgin, Yahoo, AOL, facebook, ICQ, Gtalk and MySpace login
 quickly even there are more contacts in those networks, but MSN take about
 a min to login (I've about 300 contacts in MSN).

 Any idea Dev guys?
