SKYPE is certainly not peer to peer.

It retains your chat history for forever.

The real tell is large file transfers.

They will clear your box and there will be a delay, how long is dependent on the size of the file, before it shows on the recipients end as available to fetch.

Meaning, there is a middle man.
