Help! Ftp/joomla Issues

Where are you located?  What connection speed are you using?  If you are in Nigeria, I am afraid this will most likely continue to occur due to poor "internet infrasctructure" back in Nigeria.  It could also be a result of your connection speed.  In other words, if you are paying for a low speed package, you shouldn't really complain 

Yesterday, I was doing some joomla uploading myself and even though I am in the states, it still took a bit of time to upload (and I was on a T1 line).  I also have a friend in Nigeria who said it took him a whole day to upload a video to youtube.
