What Protocol? MSN? I think there is something that microsoft does to limit sending on files that don't go through the official client, but I am not sure. All I know is that MSN in sloooow.

i thought it was because the file has to go through the msn servers (which cause slow tranfers) while the official client supports direct connections.

AFAIK transfering files happens with a direct connection between the two clients.. also, other clients like Proteus have a decent speed.

MSN does not occur between clients. It uses the server as a proxy. This was the MSN standard until a few versions ago where direct connections were added. libgaim has not updated, so I highly doubt proteus has it, since they rig a daemon program to avoid the GPL nature of libgaim.

In the newer MSN protocol, yes. In the one implemented by libgaim, no.
also, other clients like Proteus have a decent speed.
I challenge this claim since Proteus's MSN implementation is identical to Adium's.
