I have a couple of suggestions. First, I'd install a local FTP server to make sure that the problem really is in the code and not in the speed of your network. I've included a link to one server below, but you can find others using your favorite search engine.

500MB seems like a very small amount of data. Are you sure you want to use multi-threading? Could you start multiple copies of your program? If you decide to go with threading, I'd upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 if you don't have it already - I included a link to the free version below.

In VB2005, there's a new component for threading called BackgroundWorker. I've linked to one example of it's use below -- but MSDN has a lot of material on it, including examples.

I really liked the look of the code in the 3rd link :D i've saved it to my favorites to use on another project forming in my mind, i'd vote for the answer above
