Since i upgraded to msn 7, i have always encountered a slow transfer wen send or recievin files. i have configured my firewall and my norton for the ports etc. any way to fix this? does anyone no other settings for my norton or firewall i shud use/enable

thanx in advance

It can depend on the person your sending it to
They may have a slow connection or a firewall making it slow

well people i send to usually have a good broadband connection, i neva used to get this on 6.2.
and also most people still deisable their firewall and it still goes slow

Are you sure you're not connected trough your internet settings, but directly with the messenger service? You can check this at the connection tab. Also, for filetransfers, you might enable the UPnP port on the router's settings, if you have a router. You can also check this at the connection tab wheater this option is enabled or not.

hmm
well its says on the connections tab:
You are currently connected to .NET Messenger Service using your default browsers HTTP proxy server settings.

anything rong with that or is it ok?

what file transfer are you using atm or try to use stuffplug-NG filetransfer plus if your not using it

you can get the latest version from there

and you can get the key from

EDIT:
well the proxy can slow it down try to use "tcp" in tools> options> connection> advanced settings

with no proxy

im not using any 3rd party file transfer program just the msn standard file transfer thru the convo window

If you are experiencing a slow transfer rate, click here to find out why.

the person i am sendin too is directly connected and has no firewall in case u needed to know.

You're sure your provider didn't put you on smallband because of crossing down- and upload limit?

EDIT: or your friend?

EDIT: Ow yeah, you don't need a specific firewall like norton firewall to have a firewall. XP has got it's own firewall, check it. And when you have a router, it probably has got it's own firewall too.

no my isp has no limits, upload or download. this a

im not connected thru a router, im connected directly to the internet. and my windows xp firewall is disabled cos i use a third party one

hmm. the lugin wont be of much use cos i need my frends to have it installed aswell, anyway to do it without 3rd party software?

When sometimes it doesn't work with me, I just DCC the file in mIRC... Sometimes servers are being slow, then there is no explination...
