I'm using Windows Messenger 4.7 and whenever I try to transfer a file larger than 1mb or so it transfers 99.9% then I get the following error. Anything small goes through just fine. I am on comcast cable. Any suggestions or should i actually contact the cable company?

We could not send this file because the connection is blocked. Please contact your network administrator or Internet service provider; they may be able to enable file transfers.
 
I have that problem no matter the size of the file. :(

Can turn the firewall off & nothing changes.
 
There is a file size limit with msn mess.

I've tried to send a few mp3's and it will fail if over something like 2MB.

Forget the exact size limit...but I'm pretty sure its there.
 
What version of MSN Messenger has this limit? I've used all the Windows Messenger 4.x versions and MSN Messenger 6.x and had no problems sending 10+ meg files between myself and others.
 
i've sent 700mb+ files on msn messenger, though i was using trillian. Don't know if that would make a diff though.
 
I have sent 600+meg files through Windows Messenger with no problem. Now that I have a router, big problem.

I have no hardware firewall/router. just kpf with full access granted to messenger...
 
I've transfered upto 10 MB on MSNM (currently using 6) and had no prob's.

Even on DSL I've seen that kind of problem before - it mainly occurs when the transfer rates are low (heavy net traffic?) and the whole thing just seems to lose interest - perhaps the file gets corrupted.

I'd take a note of the tx rate when things go wrong , see if there is a correlation.

Does anybody have any good recommendations for alternative programs to use for file transfer?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
