A-Patch was a very popular & powerful tool that was used to remove adds, the MSN Nudge delay, allow for faster & more file transfers, and many customization options for messenger. It still works with Escargot. It can be seen as an alternative to Messenger Plus, but it does not need to be installed as it is a separate executable. I have collected all the versions and listed them for download.
