the new AIM (Triton) SUCKS ASS

[xfer]

I spent like 10 minutes trying to Get File from someone before, defeated, resorting to searching online...

...and there are millions of msgboard posts and whatever from people complaining how AOL removed the Get File option from Triton. what the fuck! I thought newer versions were supposed to be better, or at least have MORE features, not fewer.

its difficult to send files between these chatting programs. i usually ended up using yousendit.com

the same for me. i use GAIM, and file transfer does not work at all in that program.

I usually have no problem sending or receiving stuff on AIM.

Yeah, GAIM is an utter piece of shit when it comes to direct connect/transfers. Most people I know who use it end up running AIM at all times with some alt screen name in case anyone wants to send them files or pictures.
