 > Ok, so it's: 16 months, 3 minor versions and at least 15 duplicate
 tickets and this bug remains unsolved. Yes, I know, Pidgin is developed by
 people in their free time, but there's a lot of references about this file
 transfer protocol, and I'm assuming it's already developed in Pidgin, so
 it's a matter of debugging, not full development. Will it have anyone's
 attention someday?

 All I will say is "it's 16 months, 3 minor versions" and you haven't sent
 a patch.

 We *know* the issue, remember that msn is not an open protocol there is no
 real documentation on how this protocols works. They like to change the
 way the protocol works without notice and we are forced to back engineer
 it all each time. Back Engineering is a really time-consuming task and not
 always it is that clear what is going on.

 So again, you all can help with patches, documentation, backengineer
 information or whatever you want. Counting the time doesn't  help at all.

 Now, I'm back to full-time-day-work.
