Hi, I bought a new laptop today, unfortunately, it doesnt have a Firewire port and i want to use it for video editing. But i figured no problem really, i'll just capture on my desktop that i have been previously using to edit on, using Premiere pro to edit, but HDVsplit to capture, and then transfer the files over to the laptop using a USB or possibly trying to setup a home network. But when transferring files from the desktop onto the laptop via the router using ethernet cables, the speed is about 250 kb/s and when its the other way around, from the laptop to the desktop, the speed is 10 MB/s!! Why is this? I really need to find away to speed this up as the overall files i want to transfer are over 5GB. You can read a bit more about it here: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056130539 any help appreciated!!

Hi, Also you can try to disable Remote Differential Compression in “Programs and Features”. That feature will affect transport speed. Furthermore, you can update both network card of laptop and desktop. The performance of the network also will affect transport speed. Hope it helps.
