A few months ago, when I was trying to update my Web site, I noticed that it was taking 10-20 seconds everytime I wanted to upload or download a file via FTP.
At the time, my hosting provider gleaned that it was something to do with (I think) a reverse-DNS issue with regards to my DSL provider, and so my hosting provider turned off reverse-lookups or something like that and then my FTP was nice and speedy again.
Now I'm using a new host, and unfortunately, I'm encountering the same problem again and the new host isn't able to figure out what's going on.
I'm generally pretty techy/geeky but I'm currently a bit lost myself on all this. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on and how I can help either my new hosting provider or my DSL provider (Earthlink) fix the situation?
