Hmm. I tried it with AIM 6 running on XP and Adium on my mac. I was able to transfer an 80MB file in about 10 seconds. This would seems to imply that the bottleneck is not the programs and protocols. I suspect it's the internet connection. Most of them are Asymmetrical with a lot more bandwidth down than up. I may get 3MBs down on my Cox cablemodem at home but it struggles to send faster than 25-50K a second. This is by design as mostly all we're sending is little URL strings and emails while the bulk of the data comes into our computers. It only makes sense to optimize the connection for in-bound traffic.
