 === Why can't I send a file? ===
-Pidgin's file transfer support on XMPP is not yet finished and does not comply with the XMPP specification.
-
-This means that Pidgin doesn't support file transfers to clients other than Pidgin and that file transfers do not work if there is a NAT in between.
+There are a number of possible reasons for this.
+ * If the user you're trying to send to is using the Google Talk client, it isn't possible as that client doesn't use the standard XMPP file transfers.
+ * The XMPP server you're using may not support a file transfer proxy and your network setup doesn't allow direct incoming connections.
+   In this case, you may be able to specify an alternative file transfer proxy in the "Advanced" settings of your XMPP account.
+ * The file transfer proxy in use may be broken (see #5840).
 
 === Which XEPs does libpurple support? ===
