mr_perfect,

thats how Adsl works. if you download something, it will be much faster.

Also, speed depends on the site where you are uploading. Most sites have a limited upload speed for free users. if you are a paid (premium member), you would get much faster speed.

Again, as i suggested earlier, if you setup a ftp server, you save the time uploading the docs (upload not needed).

your client can simply connect to ur computer and download the file. In this case, since he will connect to your machine directly, the speed would also be better (atleast 25-30 Kbps).
