I've been trying to play Minecraft: Feed the Beast with my friend. We decided to download the Mindcrack pack. The server is installed on my friends computer, and I downloaded the client and hamachi to connect. My friend can play fine, but I get extreme lag.
I can destroy blocks, but the items hop into my inventory after about half a minute later.
We're using skype too, and note that when playing Vanilla Minecraft we are able to play smoothly.
Any ideas why I can't play properly?

On a slightly more serious note, kill Skype. It's using precious resources. Get rid of Hamachi and learn how to port forward. The more things running at the same time, the more lag you're going to experience. Get OptiFine, but turn off all the stuff you don't need.
