MSN transfer help
 

I am trying to transfer a video with dingo22 on MSN and we both have broadband (512K and 1MB) but all our transfers seem to be extremely slow. They start off fairly quickly but soon slow down to and end up being worse then when we were on 56K.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

you retard, can't you fix a small problem like this? :P
Seriously, PLEASE HELP US!!! :?

well .... as far as i know ... msn is very very slow ....
if the vid is arround 50 ... you can make a sub dom .. upload it there .. and you can dl it from there ..... simple .. but stupid ...

yeah but not this slow.....and the vid is more then 50MB (about 175MB) :wink:

ohh ... kewl .... whats in the vid ?? :wink:
well i guess u'll hvae to contact someone whose got lotsa web space like demon ..
or yea can request the admins to put it on jw(if its all that important) ....
or zip it into lil 5-15 mb packs .. like marrtin brundle supercars or burning rubber ..
i think its tht slow because of the size of the vid .... 175 mb damn ...
or start DLing it and i'll be done by tomorro morning ... :mrgreen:

Its just a basketball video.....its not just for this vid though, we just would like to know a solution because this happens on ANY video we try to share :wink:
I don't want to ask someone to host a video just so I can d/l it everytime we want to share something :(

oh oh ... another thing just popped into ma mind ...
both of yea got broadband right .....
why dont yea guys setup IIS ...... means .. host a site on yer own computer and just share the damn folder thts got all the vids in it ....

um sorry for the hijack, but is everyone elses msn working... for me trillian signs in for like 20 secs then i get disconnected :?

Got the same transfer problems, but it depends on the person I'm sending this file to :?
Sometimes it works great, quite fast, and sometimes it begins fast and becomes VERY slow 1 minute after the beginning :shock:
I tried to configure my router but couldn't find the appropriate ports to open (can that be a NAT problem ? Still a noob, sorry)

Very slow I confirm, although I use Trillian.

my suggestion if both of you guys download and install AIM.. still works well for me.

ah well im behind a router.......but i have sent files to various JW members since gettin broadband.....and ive been able to transfer at full speed....then sumtimes it slows right down like this problem i have with dingo22.....

to avoid those problems, I prefer to send the file in rar archives to a mail account, or use yousendit.com

you spend a little more time, but it has faster download speeds

Using Trillian here too.

If you regularly exchange files with others then you need something other than MSN.

I think theres a free website that provides hosting for files but only for around 1 week then they delete them off the servers. Problem is i can't remember the name... :mrgreen:

^^ yousendit.com

but the hosting is only valid for a very limited number of downloads

Trillian ... not a bad idea, I can't stand msn problems anymore (nicknames not showing etc ...) of course there will still be the shitty msn servers which bug every full moon :mrgreen:
