no, as it not working at all. when i d/l trillian a while back, file transfer wasn't supported. i'm guessing now it is supported. exactly how slow is "slow".

if trillian can do aim, icq...everything else...then why would one still use those single

For a long time I was a devoted to using ICQ, but I slowly made the transition to AIM. I sometimes have my copy of ICQ running, but nobody ever messages me on it.
