Is there another device using telephone line for external communication(like a home security system).If so disconnect it and check if that is causing the problem.

That is why - its the size of your file... 10 mb is a lot for a 56kb modem... which is why I switched to dsl.... got tired of waiting all the time.

Depending on the version that you have, it probably still has glitches in it. The earlier version looked nice but just didn't work well. You best bet is to call SBC Yahoo and find out if they have a newer version than the one you have.

Probebly from all the trafic their servers are trying to deal with... if you've ever downloaded something when 100 other people are downloading the same thing (in some sites) you may see a lag in time (it takes longer then usual to download the amount of Kilobytes then normal).\n\nIt also depends on your browser, my FireFox (with all the crazy security plug-in's and updates takes twice as long as IE to load pages with scripts/java/multimedia. \n\n;-)\n\nCheck your browser settings too.\n\n(But most likely I think it's how they programed their sites, and their lack of getting trafic to move faster through accessing data on their servers, but that's my personal opinoin).\n\nP.S. there is nothing wrong with your physical connection (not on your end, nothing is wrong on your end).

check your internet download and upload speeds here\n\nDownload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/Bandwidth.asp\n(Ex.  Mine is 5081Kb/sec)\n\nUpload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthUp.asp\n(Ex. Mine is 1295Kb/sec)\n\npost the results.  Contact your ISP and ask them if they are having problems and see if they can tell you what your DL and UL speeds SHOULD be.\n\nAlso, in response to funQT's post below, deleting your cookies is fine - but your temporary internet files, while they can and should be deleted every so often, actually speeds up your system.  Certain content on websites is downloaded directly to your PC for faster access when you revisit the page.  Instead of loading everything again from the internet, it loads directly from your hard drive - thus increasing the speed in which the page loads.  For pages that are uploaded frequently, you will want to delete this to get the latest version of the page, not the old version that was cached.\n\nCheck for spyware, as well.\n\nFirst of all, in response to notrix, not everybody has the "two computer" icons when connected to the internet through broadband.  I know I don't.  \n\nIf you click the links I posted above the websites will test your download and upload speeds.  You may want to try it a few times and get an average.  24Mb/sec is probably the internal transfer rate of your network card, not your actual external net speed.  If you are using newer DSL service (they've recently upgraded their speeds), you can expect to get anywhere from 256Kb/sec to 3Mb/sec download and 128Kb/sec to 1Mb/sec upload on average (just a ballpark, I didn't actually research the speeds) - this is also dependant on what type of service you have with the provider.  Usually they offer multiple options where you can pay more to get faster connections.  However, with DSL - the farther you are from the host, the slower your connection.  Whereas with cable, the distance is not a factor, but the number of people online that are in your specific node will affect speeds.

it might be slow because yahoo has a lot of member connecting to it throughout the world and it could be slowing the server down or because your isp has a lot of users logged onto it.

You have to open a port on your Firewall or Router, so that other clients can contact you (to be connecteable).\n\nThis is the most common reason for low speed (also on other P2P Platforms like eDonkey)

dial up is too slow. get yahoo dsl for a couple bucks more than dial up and then you can use any voip plan out there.

Well it does go slow due to users on the ISP and depends on the distance from the Line Exchange. Also it depends of what broadband company your using. If you've using BT and have the Home Hub just unplug it and plug it back in and it normally speeds it up.

All the message is telling you is that your upload didn't work fast enough that time.\n\nJust keep trying.\n\n///

How are you connecting?  If you have dsl make sure all the filters are in place.

I use SBC Yahoo! DSL. I love it. It's fast and I've never had any problems. For us, it's only about $20-$25 a month.

Everyone is KINDA right, Yahoo isnt an ISP, but they have teamed up with SBC to create Yahoo high speed internet.  So technically SBC would be your DSL provider but you have all the features from yahoo intigrated into a custom browser.  Go to: http://promo.yahoo.com/att/ for details.

Sometimes I think they need a bigger server and can't handle all the hits, but that is usually in the morning.  I am having no trouble right now.  Is it just Yahoo, or many websites?  If it is more than just Yahoo, try going to start/settings/network connections.  right click on the network through which you get the internet, then click on "repair".  Also, check to see if your modem needs resetting or anything (if you have a cable modem).  If you have dialup, that might be the problem.  Nothing beats cable internet.  I get mine from Cox.  I have to buy at least basic cable to get it, but it is worth it.  I get basic cable and high speed internet for under $60 a month.  I stopped using telephones because now I do all my communication through the internet.

I was told by a SBC Support agent that Yahoo is having temporary server issues and I should try accessing my email after 3 AM CST.
