O.P. Slow MSN File Transfer
hmm Is it me or MSN server or anything else that makes my file transfers slow.
ok its like this:
Sometimes when I send a file it's being transmitted byte by byte or
It's pretty fast or
It goes fast and then gets slow

I never had this problem since the last update of MSN (7.0.0813)
Anyone else is experiencing same problem. And no I'm not on dial up or anything I have good download and upload speeds. This problem is also not recent, it's been like this for quite some time now. Any suggestions?

RE: Slow MSN File Transfer
My file transfer speed always depends which contact is receiving my file. With some contacts its always quick, with some other contact, it lingers like hell.

How about the speed of the contact you are receiving/sending it to. And also if you're behind firewalls it slows you down.

if it gets really slow a bar will pop up telling you to click here for possible reasons

What kind of speed are we talking about when you say 'slow' ?

You could use File Transfer Plus (its in the Plug-ins section)

The transfer is slow because not as much of your 'resources' are put into MSN transfers, as is the case with a download for example.

Not true.
You just need to have it configured properly.

Open the main Messenger window go to tools > options > connection and what is displayed in the Connection Status area? Please could you tell us.

In McAfee personal firewall plus you may want to try opening the following ports 6891-6900 TCP an port, 6901 TCP/UDP. Afaik, McAfee configures itself automatically with MSN Messenger, so that shouldn't cause problems.

As well as that if you have a router with firewall installed, enable uPnP or if that isn't there open the same ports as I said above on the router.

Also does this happen in particular with certain contacts, or all of them?

What is your internet connection speed?

O.P. RE: Slow MSN File Transfer
hey Anubis thanks for your attept to help me
I don't really think it has something to do with ports and fw as you said it yourself that it configures automatically. I don't have a router so I have nothing to block my ports with, haha I'm vulnerable (A)
No it does't happen with all contacts but with most of them I belive that yes.  I have a ADSL connection that runs at 3mbps (approx. 300kb/s)
Thanks
