I'm looking for a program to replace my msn messenger, which is decidedly crap.

The program signs in and freezes for around 5 minutes before allowing me to communicate with anyone online. Is my hard drive ridiculously full as to cause lag? No, I have 20gb free. Am I on a primitive dialup modem? No, my connection speed is over 200kb/s.

Then as if a 5 minute wait wasnt enough, whenever anyone now sends me a file, tried to send or let me send webcam the conversation (and all my other conversations) will freeze for around 5 minutes before the request to accept a file or webcam is declined.

Basically I'm looking for a piece of software that will allow me to add my msn contacts to it and has basic facilities such as webcam and file transfer.

Any suggestions?

Whack it into google, because I really can't be arsed to get the link for you.

Oh and, you don't need to "import your contacts" or anything, it fetch's them from Microsofts servers.
