Skype-file transfer

Hi!

I had a long time problem with file transfer on Skype. It is very slow. Other works good.
I had Shorewall firewall on my system but file transfer is slow without firewall too.

Thanks in advance,

Mitja

It's because skype is encrypting everything on the fly, at least that's my understanding.

Re: Skype-file transfer

I've always found file transfers to be painfully slow - so much so that I no longer use it and often just email files to friends I'm chatting to.

I am doing same as you. Sometimes when I talk with someone we want to send the files and friend said that he has problem just with me . He has Windows. I read Skype faq and there are somethng about firewall.
Thanks.
