This sounds like the warning you get about slow transfer when using MSN Messenger. I think the idea is that either you (or your peer) has firewall rules enabled that prevent the file transfer from ocurring directly between the two of you. For this reason, the file transfer occurs via a third party or relay. Presumably because you aren't alone in this situation, this third party's bandwidth will be capped so that it can handle multiple file transfers along with your own.
