[ubuntu-uk] transferring files between Ubuntu and XP slow!!!!

[Jai Harrison]

84 minutes for a 158 meg file? That can't be right.

I often transfer files around machines on my network using WiFi and
SSH - something which should be considerably slower than a wired
network - and achieve much better speeds.

I don't use cables to connect any machines on my network as, despite
what others might argue, it serves me well. Sadly this means I'm
completely unable to help with your transfer but wanted to point out
how off it seems.
