I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 bought in 2010.  My computer is super slow uploading and downloading stuff all of a sudden so is there any way of speeding it up again?

I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 bought in 2010.  When uploading and downloading stuff my computer is all of a sudden slower than usual.  The rainbow disc is always appearing and I have to sit and wait for items to finally pop up!  Can someone help me figure out how to speed up my computer again?  I am just confused to why this is happening all of a sudden.  Thank you.

Usually the HDD is the frist place to look.  Use the original install disk and start up the MBP with the C key down.  Go through the installation process until you see on the display a menu bar on top.
Click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
What are the results?
