Gaim file transfer problem
The other day I was sending files to people and receiving them just fine. Now, I can receive files, but not send them to anyone. What could have caused this? Also, if I had always been unable to send files and only receive them, what would be happening to make this a one-way thing?

Yeah but it doesn't sound like that would change overnight.
the Gaim website has always described file-transfer support as buggy, at best -- in fact, the native AIM client has always been buggy with file transfers, so they're not sure it's entirely fixable even.
Don't know why.
It's just flakey.

Ok, thanks. I guess being able to receive files is better than nothing.  |
