Description Márton Cserbák 2007-09-19 21:36:49 UTC

Version: 0.12.4 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14.1)
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-16-generic

My friend tried to send me a JPEG picture over MSN (http://www.mcl.hu/~cserby/testImage_full.jpg).
The transfer seemingly stuck at 50% on my side, but she received a message in her Windows MSN Client, that I cancelled the transfer.
The file transfer dialog didn't disappear on my computer after a long time, I had to press Cancel.
On my computer, a broken file could be found (http://www.mcl.hu/~cserby/testImage_broken.jpg).
We retried the transfer several times, it always stuck at 50%. I thought, that maybe the last few bytes of the corrupt file cause the problem, but transmitting a file consisting only the last few bytes of the corrupt file, and some of the next bytes completed just fine...
I captured the communication as well (http://www.mcl.hu/~cserby/kopeteMSNfiletransfer.cap - WireShark capture). (It's funny though, that at the point, where the transmission stuck - packet No 738 - I couldn't find any message originating from my computer that could cause the Windows Client display the "Remote user cancelled the transmission" message...)
I encounter this bug almost every time someone tries to send me a file over MSN. This is a persistent bug on my computer, I had several installations of Ubuntu, tried several versions of Kopete, and the bug is always there.
I'm using my OS with English language installed only, but the character encoding is set to UTF8.
You can find my kopeterc file at http://www.mcl.hu/~cserby/kopeterc .

Thanks for your help, and thanks for the Kopete software, I really enjoy using it :)

I confirm the existence of this issue for me and a lot of my friends, using the last kopete release.

File transfer is working correctly on kopete in KDE4 (trunk). 
Tried to send/receive file (even big) between kopete and MSN (8.5)

Should we close the bug or should we let it open for the 3.5 branch?

Closed because file transfer on the MSN plugin is working since 0.12.7.
