richcornucopia Posted December 24, 2005 CID Share Posted December 24, 2005 You could host an ftp server. There are many free programs which will do that and it should maximize your connections. IIS http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_winXP_pro.asp If you prefer a non windows approach I highly recommend netfile ftp and webserver. Theres a free version that allows you host your own ftp server and website. http://www.fastream.com/netfileserver.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted December 24, 2005 CID Share Posted December 24, 2005 If you want to try something with aim before trying a new program, try the attached file. It will make aim have no delay will sending the file, like how it sometimes stops and waits a second. Put 0 seconds for the delay and see if the files transfer faster, if not try a ftp or some p2p app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
