Pidgin 2.7.1 enables Faster File Transfers to MSN and aMSN

Free chat client Pidgin version 2.7.1 has just been released with many improvements and fixes pushed to Bonjour, ICQ, XMPP and MXit protocols. The major gainer is the MSN protocol that gets support for direct connections, with faster file transfers to aMSN and the official MSN client. I haven’t tested the file transfer speed but from the screenshot posted at Quantum Logic (a Pidgin developer’s blog) and re-posted here above, file transfer in Pidgin is now pretty fast. Buddy icon and custom emoticon also load faster. Pidgin 2.7.1 changelog
