File Sharing slow when MSN open

Well I've figured out why my network transfers are slow on my Gigabit network...

Basically I'm transferring files from my "server" running Server 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 to my Vista Ultimate x64 machine over my Gigabit network (both PCs have gigabit NICs and all).

Before I open Live Messenger, I can get 40-50MB/s, but as soon as I open Live Messenger, I can watch the speed drop quickly until it bottoms out at like 10MB/s. As soon as I close WLM, the speed beings increases again.

I've tried disabling QOS and IPv6 on my network connection in Vista along with AutoTuning and Receive Side Scaling via netsh. None of that had any effect.

Then I thought maybe it was just WLM so I tried Pidgin and the same thing happens...

So anybody else with this issue or knows of a fix?
