Well it might be whoever you are sending to or getting from that has a slow connection.  I have that problem all the time.

Well, like inc_haydn said... try File Transfer Plus in the plugin section. With that plugin your transfers are faster, it has a resume feature and you can close msn messenger and it will continue the transfer because once FTplus starts downloading it seperates from msn messenger. I've used it and it's great.. especially the resume feature.
just my two cents
