When you say "the transfer rate was horrible", what do you mean by "horrible?"

With a wireless connection, even with an 802.11n router and clients, I wouldn't expect to see a transfer rate faster than about 5 to 10MB/sec, and that's being generous.

Connecting via a cable, for the time being, will ALWAYS be much, much faster than a wireless connection. Wireless networking, even in the year 2008 (where the hell is my flying car, by the way?!), is still considered "slow." It's not an acceptable medium for which to transfer very large files, unless you're blessed with patience.
