ICQ file sharing never worked right for me, and I've tried it on dozens of computers and ISPs.

Anyway, you can add ICQ #s to AIM and vice versa because AIM and ICQ are both owned by AOL. So they are in the same family but ICQ will always be the black sheep to me. The client is a resource hog and has a lot of useless features. I do use ICQ just to talk to people in this industry, but I prefer DeadAIM, which is a great add on for AIM.
