Does anybody know what port AIM uses to transfer files? Turning on/off my firewall while sending files is a real pain in the ass.
Also, when I was sending a file to my brother [on the same network] over AIM, why did it transfer at like, 1mb/s? I didn't transfer it through the network.. :|

IIRC, it uses 5190 to transfer files.

You were directly connected to your brother who was on the same network; the file never left your lan.
I send files through AIM to my sister sometimes. Windows lacks transfer speed on their transfer window.

Yep, but it's configurable, so if you're like me and already have a different port forwarded for random stuff, you can change it. In Gaim for sure, but in real Aim probably.

Yeah, AIM transfers file directly.
I use 6118 for file transfers. :P
So that's what the Network thing is in Preferences, eh?
