Well the screenshot doesn't show any reason (I don't think) why your transfers are going slow. Have you tried taking a speed connection test to see how fast your connection is, compared to how fast it should be?

yea man an its fine - well when i didnt have that the files was not goin slow like for everyone i send em to i get that thing in the convo that there is connection prob an click to see why files are goin slow an its getin to me

So when do you see that? Every time you send/receive a file? Before or after?

there is the test crap from that

when they accept an like 2sec in i see it an it takes like 10/20min just to send a 5mb file never was like that before

It could just be a problem with the WLM servers.

Try reading this thread, may come in handy.

Edit: Do you have ZoneAlarm?

nah dont use zonealarm - an i just went on my moms pc an it does not say that i dunno just makin me go nuts cuz cant send files an i hate goin to sendspace or something to upload em u know

Try disabling your firewall and opening ports 6891-6900 if you have a router.

you may need to allow that program by opening the port that it uses. according to Micro$oft http://www.microsoft.com/security/protect/ports.asp
you need to open ports TCP 6891-6900 Required only for file transfers.

That's all I can suggest for now. Hopefully it's just a temporary problem and should be back to working order in a few days?

no router an i dunno if it will kick back up in a few days cuz been like this for a few weeks now
