Slow transfers

Um_Help · 05-04-05, 11:54 PM

Hey i just got a 4gig CF card for my Axim X50V and im trying to copy a movie and some music over to it and it goes hella slow!! I figured it was probably just active sync going really slow. So i grabbed a FTP program and tried to grab some stuff from my computer and it was only going at 61KB/s.

Any way to speed these transfers up? I would hope for atleast something near wireless max speed.

Really, the best idea is a card reader...mine still takes a minute or 3 to transfer several hundred mg files- but waaaayyyyy faster than active sync. Try ebay- you can usually get these pretty cheap. ~Anne

I have a card reader but i cant get my freakin card out to save my life. Is there any easier way? I am thinking of using pliers!!!

I am not using ActiveSync, its a ftp program. It that the X50v cant write fast to the CF or something?

Active Sync is extreamly slow and unreliable for copying large files. Card Reader is the way to go.
I don't use CF cards so no advice im afraid. Tweezers may help.

Yeah... I wouldn't use active sync for anything but PIM transimission, and very small files... plus it's only USB 1.1... with such large files to transfer you want a USB 2 card reader!
