A few days ago we restarted the MSN transport. PyMSNt was causing a huge amount of traffic by requesting everyones avatar at login. From now on a contacts avatar will be updated only by starting a chat session.
Yesterday the PyMSNt transport stopped working. Upon a try to connect to the MSN servers, a user got to see the following:
Failed to connect to MSN servers:
[Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): exceptions.Exception: Timeout]
We fixed that by editing one line in src/legacy/msn/msn.py.
Look for: MSN_PROTOCOL_VERSION = “MSNP11 CVR0″
and change it to: MSN_PROTOCOL_VERSION = “MSNP11″
Furthermore we removed the max. filesize one can transfer using the MSN transport.
Thanks to harrykar for reporting the issue!
