I don't know what the problem is, but 64KB/s means 64 Kelvin Bytes per 
second which doesn't make sense.  Correct terminology is 64 kB/s.  Sorry 
- can't help myself as the concept of Kelvin Bytes always makes me laugh :-D

Because 6 kbps is less than 1 kB/s my immediate thought is that the 
transfer is not happening at all and the traffic you see is gaim 
attempting to send the file, not sending it?  Is it sending 
successfully?  I suppose you've done your testing properly too - i.e. 
that this speed is consistant to more than one person and time?
