How come msn is slow at receiveing files but fast when sending them..........?

Ok, Here is the deal, The OS(Operating system) like windows or Mac has very little to do anything with how fast you can send or receive files. It all depends on the internet service provider and the plan that you have chosen (Bell South, Comcast, SBC, etc). There are different speeds provided for both uploading(sending) and downloading (receiving) anyfiles. If you call your provider and ask for those details, they will be able to provide you with the information. The reason why video download is slow is simply because those are huge files to download. Hope this information helps

It maybe because of the Dial-Up Connection. It might be going so slow that windows thinks that its jsut not going and it cancels the request and give you some stupid error. I had that problem when I used to be on that horribly super slow dial up conenciton.

I notice it with two computers, but only when two of us are downloading things at exactly the same time.  It doesn't happen too often.  And I have a 300k connection.  A DS1 would help (1.544Mbps).  A DS3 would fix the problem (45Mbps).

There's a lot of things that can contribute, spyware is a big one or if you have never cleaned your files or had cookies deleted that can cause a problem too. \n\nIf you have msn and you want a customer service # I can send that to you. I don't want to get in trouble for doing it publicly . Just message me and I will send it to you. \nTHey are really good they will walk you through the steps of cleaning out files and so on and give you tips on preventing spyware and things\n\nHave you done a virus scan lately? that helps too. \nI would suggest installing adware, it's a great program that searches for spyware. \n\nIt's frustrating. \nMake sure that your messenger has a firewall installed on it too. If it doesn't that will slow you down quite a bit too\n\n\nTo test for that you will see two computer icons at the lower right hand corner of your screen \nRight click, it will say open network connections, click on that. then you will get a box that shows your internet connection IF The connection does not say firewalled, then what you do is right click on the computer that shows your connection click on properties, the advanced tab and their should be a box that you need to put a checkmark in that states to protect your computer. \n\nI hope these suggestions are helpful

If you get another web browser (Besides IE) you can choose that as your default web browser and it should load when you click links and want to view your mail. I have MSN browser and it doesn't take long at all. Although it could be a technical issue.

if your ( or their) line is too slow , burn it onto cd and send via post.otherwiese , broadband should do it in an hour or so.

No, Yahoo Messenger takes too few of space...and it doesn't affect speed.\nTry checking the speed of your connection and making an upgrade.

Ussually it is 10MB.\nIf its oversized you can try right clicking on the file and sending it to a .zip file and this should make the file alot smaller so that it sends faster.

Wireless connections can be a bit problematic at times. I'm not good with the technical know-how, but usually repairing the connection will solve problems for me when signing into MSN or YIM. :)

Almost all mail clients try to download the mail for 5 minutes (300 seconds) max. If the connection to the server cannot be established within that it returns an error.\n\nBut in the case of a browser that works on HTTP protocol, it can work faster.\n\nThe only solution for this to upgrade your connection to a faster one.

The latest microsoft network (MSN) messenger is\nWindows Live Messenger\nhttp://get.live.com/messenger/overview\n\nI'm using it and you can share file with that

if you are using a router try port forwarding.\n\nbut its probably slow cause there are no seeds, or too many people are downloading the file and there arent enough seeds for the demand
