I can send files fine, but I can't receive any...

I can send mp3s, pics etc with no problems at all, but I can't receive any files that are sent to me. It always tells me that it is waiting for the other computer to begin, and it always tell the sender that it is waiting for me to accept. I thought by clicking on the file in the chat window was accepting the file? Anyone have any ideas?

A possible cause:
If you use a .mac or AIM account and drop files in the chat window, they might get qeued, the AOL servers can apply "Rate limiting", which prevents a user from sending too many messages in a short amount of time. Once a user is rate limited, he/she is temporarily unable to send messages, but he/she may still receive messages.
If you have troubles transfering files, drop files in the buddylist instead of the chat window.
