RE: Why does MSN Messenger suck for File Transfers ? ? ?
the only reason it's slow is because one of the person in the file transfer is behind a firewall (router/NAT). This disallows a direct connection between the computers and the file must be redirected to the msn's server and download from there. MSN's server has a upload/download speed limit. This is not a problem if you are not behind a firewall and have a direct connection. To enable a direct connection behind a firewall, you need to open the port needed for file transfer but im not sure which port that is.
This should belong to the MSN forum
