Pidgin: Okay, this is getting [dang] ridiculous!

Submitted by Evlesoa on February 15, 2009 - 7:02pm

Each time I get on MSN, i get [dang] bots spamming me.

So what I do, i add them and block them.

THEN, each time I sign in after a restart or a crash (access memory violation, happens EVERY VERSION OF PIDGIN), i get SPAMMED with hundreds of windows... the message is something like...

"This buddy is in your local list but not server list"

and

"Too many friendly name changes"

FileZilla: Large files will get corrupted

Submitted by emesma on February 12, 2009 - 12:57pm

I don't know if this issue is caused by the portable version but it's been twice that happens to me. I am using version V3.2.0, windows XP SP3.

I downloaded two large files from different sites. One is near 293 Mb and the other 1.5 Gb. In both cases, filezilla didn't stop downloading the files, it simple kept downloading the files so I had to cancel the process as they were becoming too large, almost as twice as their original size, the advance percentage was greater than 100%.

FileZilla: FTP from DEC VMS

Submitted by alfredymwong on February 5, 2009 - 8:21am

VMS files have the version number.
e.g. READTEXT.TXT;1
COMFTEXT.TXT;1

When I FTP to windows, it will create files READTEXT.TXT.1 & COMFTEXT.TXT.1
As as result, it is difficult to open it using normal program (before rename them 1 by 1).

How to set it to name it just READTEXT.TXT without the version number ?

Any setting to be done ?

Thanks in advance.

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to gtalk after this latest update? The previous version of Miranda Portable was working fine yesterday, but I just upgraded to the most recent update today, and Gtalk can't connect. I just get that animated "connecting" icon and nothing ever happens.

Valid fonts for pidgin.

Submitted by Airwolf on January 27, 2009 - 1:08pm

Hi to all.

I want to change the font in the Pidgin buddy list, and I know I can achieve this modifying the gtkrc file.

However, I don't know the correct values for the font property. The default is "Sans 8", if I change the size (8) there is no problem, the size of the font changes.

If I change "Sans" for "Verdana" I see the font of the buddy list changes.

However, if I put "Tahoma", "Trebuchet MS" or "Times" it looks as if I put the default of "Sans 8".

ICQ vs. Pidgin

Submitted by eugentango on January 22, 2009 - 12:36pm

=============================
System Message
=============================
The version you are using is not supported by ICQ. Download a free authorized ICQ version from ICQ's official website.

It happens every time I try to connect to my ICQ-account.

They seem to have changed protocols. New version of Pidgin is needed.

Is there any possibility to do something?

FileZilla: Possible Bug with Rename Action when Target File Exists (3.2.0)

Submitted by Karsk on January 21, 2009 - 12:30pm

I'm using 3.2.0 now, but first experienced it with the previous version (3.1.6?).

When uploading a file that already exists on the server, I choose the rename action and append '.new' to the filename. When I click OK, I'm once again prompted with Target File Exists even though no file with that name (the one with .new tacked on the end) exists on the server. I can choose the Overwrite action this time and the file is uploaded with the .new name so this is really just an inconvenience.
