when my friend sends to me it goes about 40kb/s. when i send it goes only like 10kb/s. is there any ports we need to open up or anything? i have cable so it should be going at about 40kb/s. im on wireless to.

Bandwidth is not relational to size of the file, but only the amount of data transferred in a given time interval. The AIM server should not be involved unless a direct peer connection cannot be established, and the data needs to be proxied back through AOL servers.
NdNElectronicsGeek: Have you benchmarked your speed recently? Check to make sure your connection does indeed have more bandwidth than is being used before opening any ports. Also any P2P applications should be shutdown as well, since those will generally use a lot of upstream bandwidth.

i just checked my bandwidth on cnet and it reads 1736.2kbps. Also the person im transfering files to has wireless, which his speed when trasnfering to me is 40kb/s, while when i transfer to him is only 10kb/s. Were both running on wireless. I have all problems closed to when im transfering.When you measure bandwidth you measure two values, a downstream speed and an upstream speed, when sending files you are most likely limited by your own upstream speed, downstream on your end has very little to do with it. Try using http://nyc.speakeasy.net/ to run a test.

I tried resetting my Cable modem and disabling my firewall but the result is still the same. I went to that site and here are my results…….
Last Result:
Download Speed: 5604 kbps (700.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 140 kbps (17.5 KB/sec transfer rate)Everything was fine on saturday. All sunday long I can’t seem to figure why my transfer speed is slow. Someone please help.:crying:
Here are my specs
Intel pant 4 2.8ghz
HD:160gig
Ram:1gig
OS:Windows XP ProI have Aim version 5.9 on my comp with this connection that I’m using to log into my Aim “login.oscar.aol.com”
Also previously at times when I was sending files at normal speeds I would get an error from aim saying something about not being able to send the transfer and at times I would have to keep restarting the transfers again.
