OK guys, fresh from format havnt even installed graphics drivers... and i still cant download above 20k ( avg of 10-14k) - this annoys me greatly cos im on 1MB Broadband.. i should be getting 120k like i used to.

Im currently doing a speed test thing atm while dealing with crappy tech support people ''have you checked to see if the modems plugged in'' HAVE YOU CHECKED TO SEE IF YOUR BRAINS PLUGGED IN *chain saw noises*

I also out why huge contacts lists arent working, and because i have enough time to explain :

MSN contacts lists are sent like this

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

However... with big contact lists this seems to be happening :

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected]

m Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20G

oes%20Here

LST [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

LS

T [email protected] Name%20Goes%20Here

Which is incredibly strange :s.. it wont work this way... i think its something to do with the socket im using or something like that, maybe the buffer length, like its cutting off and not putting all the info through my parser routine.

Anyway when i get my pc working again the only thing i can think of to do is create a sign in in VB6 ( using winsocks ) and see if the data still comes all jumbled up :(

If anyone knows why this is happening please lemme know...

back to the tech supports....

:(

maybe.... if i can get past this contacts list problem

i also had that problem in an irc client i made, so try this code

Private Sub sock_DataArrival(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Sock.DataArrival

Static bufferDat As String

Dim dat As String = Sock.GetArrivedText(True)

If Right(dat, 1) <> vbLf OrElse dat.Trim.IndexOf(" ") = -1 Then

bufferDat = bufferDat & dat

Else

Interpret(bufferDat & dat)

bufferDat = ""

End If

End Sub

it basically checks if there is a line feed at the end of the data and that it contains at least a space char, dunno if msn protocol requires the line feed char though

XML if you dont mind can I ask what kind of socket your using? Having just moved up from VB to VB.net i'm using a downloadable winsock control for .net.

IRC and MSN of course use the same protocol so this might help a little.

I'll send msn screename if youd rather talk that way.

Thank You.

Aaaaah the wonderfull world of sockets.

Just to make one thing clear. NEVER expect a socket to deliver you the data in the right order. most of the time it goes fine, but it happens you get certain messages later then you might expect.

So you have to program your logic to handle this problem. I've made some multiplayer network games with some friends and this was always a problem we encountered.

nah not unless its a direct rip.

Schmoove thanks for the info bro but order doesnt matter too much here, its just that im splitting the data by lines (vbcrlf ) and FOR every line splitting by words (" "), to catch the commands... so naturaly its a bit annoying when the line breaks in the middle... i dont think its just my ISP connection issues at the moment , as KoL was unable to load his contact list, ill think of something.

they do?!

I was at Dayles today and to say the least this LST problem has gotta be one of the worst so far (exept for his SSL which hes kind of got a cheesy way round).

The LST comes in the same order everytime and for some reason its the same contacts which are also cut off, not all the online contacts are there either.

We had a Jab at messing with the buffer sizes etc which was interesting but no Goal. Could either be the Socket or the server :no: ( could be the server ramming too much info down the socket at one time, either way will be intersting to see how he solves that one).

you were??!1 get out of my house. nah just kiddin man

yeh i hope u guys understand that i honestly cant work on it at the moment, i can only just load neowin... hell even google is a challenge... i havnt actually logged into my hotmail account yet.. it just crashes.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
