LinuxQuestions.org - FTP server very very slow in Ubuntu.

I have setup a FTP server using ProFTPd inetd on Ubuntu, following the instructions in the Unofficial Ubuntu Guide.

Now the problem is that the FTP server is very very slow.
When i try to open the link on the same comp too, it takes around 2 min for the page to load.

I don't expect it to be this slow. (My comp is not an antique piece! ;) )

Moreover, I don't know if Ubuntu comes with an Inbuilt firewall.
At least, i haven't configured, or setup any.

Here is my /etc/proftpd.conf

Code:

#

# /etc/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.

# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
