I'm fairly new to mIRC so this may seem an obvious question - but any help is very welcomed.

I'm on 600K cable and so too is my friend. When we get files from IRC channels we generally download at speeds of 60kps.

The problem I have is when I send my friend a file its very very slow rate - maximum 10kps.

mIRC is the only active application online at the time, packet size is 4096, fast send & fill spaces are also ticked.

Why is this?? What can I do to speed up the file send??

Please help,, thanks.
