File transfer slowdown question (linksys)

[Mockery]

Still getting all the little kinks worked out of this new computer that I'm on...

Anyway, I'm connected to the web with a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter. Surfing the web and downloading stuff has generally been no problem. It's a little slow at times, but nothing too major so far. The problem I am having is that whenever I try uploading files somewhere (for example: to my site via ws-ftp) it is slow as hell. I'm talking over a minute for a file that's only 100k or less. Sometimes it'll hang so long that I'll just cancel the transfer completely. I made sure that my ftp program was in the exceptions list on my windows firewall just in case that was causing the problem, but it didn't seem to do anything as uploading files is still absurdly slow.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this funtastic lil' problem?
