Slow iPod transfers?
« on: September 29, 2004, 07:30:38 pm »
MC transfers songs to my iPod at 2.26 MB/s.  That seems slow to me.  It's taken nearly all day to put about 30bg on it.

Is that right?  If not, how can I improve the performance?

Also, it is currently showing a time of -(negative) 7:31 to finish.  Seems wrong to me.

Tim and Justin,

The speed should be resolved in the next build of MC 11.  

*edit - which won't be until next week.

Still slow here.  I get from .54 to 2 mbits on the latest.

Justin,

Please try to transfer some files directly to iPod from Windows Explorer and take note of the speed to rule out that this is a hardware issue.

Steve, Windows doesn't give me a speed in the transfer, but 9 files took about 10 seconds or so.  I tried it within MC and it took nearly 30 seconds just to tell me it was ready to start, then it took over a minute to actually do the transfer.  My speed started out at .10 MC/s, and gradually increased to a final speed of 1.42 MB/s.

Let me know if you need/want anything else from me.

Thanks

Everyone,

Is anyone else seeing speeds as slow as Justin with the current MC 11?

Justin,

What OS do you have?

Just synched 50 new files to my Ipod - speed started at 2.23 and finished at 4.66, still rising at the end.
