Is it possible to find non-full downloaded files from contacts?

Hello,

Sometimes people send me some files on Msn Messenger or Windows Live
Messenger, but than something's go wrong -> file interrupted from
downloading.

Is it possible to find this file? I think in a tempfolder or something
like that? And to recover it?

Thanks,

Mr. Thierry

If the file transfer failed, there's no point in recovering the partial transfer
as it will be a borken file.

Greetings,

The answer is no -- if it gets interrupted, the temporary file is deleted.

But if it did not get interrupted but still waiting, what folder is the file
written to on the receiving PC?
