lol at your sig screenor. was it... iago?!
Nope, me. My laptop is 1280x800. I go by the rule of thumb that, if your signature takes more than half of my screen's height, I send a polite message asking you to change it or make it smaller. Apparently someone just likes to be dumb.
When I did sustained transfer with Anapod Explorer the other night (uploading Season 6 of Star Trek: Voyager, Super Troopers, and Star Trek: First Contact, I was getting a sustained transfer rate of 112mb/s (that's megabits, not megabytes, so about 14 MiB/s). The videos transferred very quickly - much more quickly to my iPod than across the house over my wireless network (I did a two-step transfer). At that rate, a 680-MiB file should take about 50 seconds to transfer.
Incidentally, using Anapod Explorer avoids the need for having iTunes or QuickTime on your system. I use QuickTime Alternative to watch any .mov files in Windows Media Player, do playlist organization, and the like. It's got Windows Explorer integration - pretty nice.
