Take a look at this. It must be a recent change at Yahoo! Small Business, I used to be able to max out my upload speed for all FTP uploads. Now the FTP is distinguishing between binary and ascii type uploads, throttling back the binary upload to 25kB/sec. If this isn't a fluke, then I'd stay away from Yahoo! web hosting. I'm subscribed to their $9.95/m Unlimited Transfer and Unlimited storage plan (though I am on an introductory 1st year at $5/month). I'm working with technical support on this discovery, I'll keep people posted.
