I posted the below on a board in Ireland and it's not coming up with a solution
- Would be interested in hearing any opinions you guys have on this
situtation:
I have a wired network - ethernet cable from pc upstairs down
to modem at television. Cable from modem to WD TV live. So all networked and wd
tv is showing up correctly as a network drive.
Question:
If I transfer
a 350mb video file from my pc to the hard drive attached to the WD TV live, over
the wired network, it takes just over one minute i.e. just over 5 megabytes a
second transfer. Not great but adequate.
If however I connect my Nokia N8
to the same pc and copy the file from the N8 rather than the PC (even
though the N8 is connected to the pc!) the file goes to the WD TV in 28 seconds
- over 12 megs a second.
How can a file get transferred quicker over the
network from a phone connected to the pc than from the pc itself
to the same destination?
Hope I've explained it clearly - it's got me
baffled!
ps - the phone is displayed under "portable devices" rather
than "hard disk drives" and the properties suggest it is using a protocol called
MTP - media transfer protocol. I've also added another external usb drive to
test the transfer and received the same results as the built in hard drive. So
it does appear to be something to do with "hard drives" versus "portable
devices" as recognised and dealt with by Windows.
