Another thing about sending MP3s, when anyone tries to send me one, it transfers, then says something about 'this file has been blocked because it may be harmful' or something like that, then disappears.
Any ideas anyone? I've googled around for suggestions, but nothing I've tried appears to work :-/

i can understand that, i find it strange how you have the issue of it saying that the item has been blocked, my only thought is that it may be some kind of anti-virus, anti-spam etc which is blocking it, if not its worthwhile looking through tools and options to see if there is a work around.

It *could* be an antivirus thing, but I reckon it's trying to stop piracy (even though the majority of MP3s I receive are original compositions from a musically talented teamfishcolleague) I'm not averse to using an alternative MSN client. I really like using Adium on my Mac at work, but there's not a Windows version sadly. I've used Trillian and I wasn't really impressed with that TBH. Transfer times were ridiculously slow on it.

There is a windows version of adiumX - it's called Gaim
 Adium is just a skinned version of Gaim for OSX (ported from the linux version). What version of msn are you using?
Mac Pro, 2x Quad core 2.8ghz Xeon, 512mb 8800GT, 4gb DDR2 FB-Dimm
Macbook, 1.8ghz Core Duo, 2GB Ram, Superdrive iPhone 2G 2.0.1 "Is it a coincidence that an anagram of gordon brown is "born do wrong" ?, I rest my case. |

Trillian is great.
The transfer times are slow on MSN anyway, as trillian makes AIM look nice, I use that for sending songs sometimes, which is a lot faster. |

<rant> What i dont like is that sending any file type, to most people, goes really slowly and says "If you are experiencing slow file transfers..etc etc" but to other people it sends fast.
Yet the people it sends slow to, using the exact same file through yahoo messenger, it goes fast! I'd think it was msn's fault but then why should it send fast to some people and not others? Then i'd think its that the people dont have their firewalls configured right, but then why would it send fast through yahoo? And another rant about msn! We are on wireless....the downstairs pc and this both have the same firewall, go through the same router, use the same version of msn yet they always send fast on the downstairs one, even though this one has a better connection to the router  </rant>
 To get an avatar requires you make 500 sensible posts.....yet still people ask so why do I even bother having this here! |

I thought (perhaps wrongly) that file transfer etc on MSN is peer to peer rather than via server so it should be quick enough..
