About File Transfer Plus

The built-in feature in MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger to send files is very limited and does not use the full available bandwidth for the transfer. The File Transfer Plus plugin solves these limitations by providing more functionality and features.

Features in 1.1 RELEASE

• Resume support with rollback feature to prevent file corruption;
• Speed indicator with estimated time left to complete the transfer and time elapsed;
• Optimal transfer throughput with packet size configuration;
• Automatic compression on-the-fly for even faster transfer speeds;
• Transfer window independent from conversation window and from Messenger;
• Transfer window minimizable to system tray and optionally closes itself when the transfer completes;
• Optionally replaces Messenger's "Send Files" button and drag-and-drop in conversation window (it checks if the plugin is installed on the other side, else the standard transfer is used);
• Ability to send files in conversations with more than one contact;
• Ability to send multiple files simultaneously;
• Transfer can be paused/resumed at any time;
• Advanced connection configuration for different network scenarios, including support for blocked connections (passive transfer mode), although there is no proxy support yet;
• IP address optionally encrypted (for better security in a multi-user conversation window);
• Ability to set a default save folder (media files can have a different default save folder), also a separate folder can be made for each contact;
• Ability to preview media files while the transfer is in progress with the default player. If the file bitrate is less than the transfer speed, you'll be able to preview the entire file from the beginning without interruptions;
• Ability to auto-accept file transfers from your friend list or from anyone (the file is saved in the default folder);
• Transfer history log for easier management of the transferred files;
• And much more!
