But do file transfers work? I unfortunately keep having to ask about Pidgin, Miranda, and Digsby too. I would loveee to switch to any of them as my full time messenger, but am forced to stay with official clients because I use file transfers often, and they barely work, or slowww if they do, on third party messengers.

According to their FAQ:

Why are file transfers so slow?

MSN file transfer support is limited to the proxied version of file transfer support in the protocol. This means that the files are sent to MSN's servers, then the server sends the data to the other user. We don't know if or when we will ever support any of the peer-to-peer file transfer methods available in the MSN protocol.

That combined with no mention of P2P-file transfers in the release notes leads me to believe it's not in yet, sadly. I haven't tested myself yet though.

They HAVE fixed it, if you use the latest test build it it reduced DRASTICALLY. :)

Digsby still eats tons of virtual memory, which Pidgin or any other IM client (beside AIM6) doesn't do.

What's so special to MSNP15?

Pidgin only supported a old protocol version that was limited in features, this new protocol support brings it fairly up to date, and allows more features like status messages to work.

I'm just glad people will finally realise when I'm sleeping (instead of thinking the auto-responded is lying to them)
