Are your picture files a lot bigger than your text HTML files? I'm assuming yes. So the slowdown and hang is probably related to file size. Sounds like a problem with the server. Try throwing files up somewhere else as a test.

Oh, and make sure your FTP client is set to auto or binary mode. Not that I've had a transfer stall out when set incorrectly.
