I use Windows Live Messenger a lot and I am getting a bit annoyed with it on Vista. When I want to send or receive a file to a contact on my list, it takes *forever*!!

Example:

On XP, someone wants to send me a 20KB document on MSN Messenger. I get the invite and I click accept. It will be complete within 2 seconds max.

On Vista, with this same 20kb document you would be looking at around one minute, maybe more, for it to finish downloading.

It winds me up. It happens with bigger files too, you can just imagine how much longer they take on Vista! Why should it be fine on XP but not on Vista?

The rest of the internet seems to work fine on here, just not these MSN file transfers.

Any ideas or any pointers on where to look?

Cheers

Nope, this is Windows Live Messenger 8.1, been out for a while I believe. Is there a Beta out of a new one?
