I am trying to upload files via ftp.

Last night I got half of the files to upload but then it started not working.  
a 100 kb file would upload about 20kb and timeout after 2.5 min…

I deleted everything and have now tried again, but it is still happening.

At first i was using coffeecup FTP, when it stoped working I switched to cuteFTP.

I sent this question to the host tech support and this was the response.

> Hi Mike,

I’ve tested it again on my end and it is running fine for me on my end. I uploaded quite large files to your account and it was very quick I was able to upload 10 files within 30 seconds or so. I don’t know if it’s a firewall thing that cause that or you are behind a firewall or something but my end worked fine so I don’t know what is going on there.

Well I am on XP and didn’t have the firewall on.

So now I am at a loss, why is it only letting me upload 15-19% of a file ?  
It uploads this amount in a few seconds but then just seems to hang ?

Any ideas appreciated
