I really don't know where I should look. I also run apache and my pages just load fine, so it's not that the box itself has an overall problem or something. > > Hope you guys can help me out. If it were I, I'd start by looking at a packet trace of the FTP data connection. If that's too technical for you, try connecting to the server through a different network path, if possible, and compare the behaviour. Also make sure you watch the system logs carefully while the connection is in the process of slowing down, and see if anything that might be relevant is written to a log file. Good luck.
