transferring large amounts of data via wifi

Hi

I have a new macbook pro and am trying to trnasfer all of my music and pictures via wifi-file sharing.

I am 17GB of 22GB through and it has stopped and is saying the connection is interupted and do I want to disconnect all. This has already been going for 2 days and I dont ant to have to restart it. I wanted to use firewire but the apple support guy told me to do it this way - it has been SLOW!!!

If I disconnect will it restart the transfer or will I have to start over?

Any suggestions?

It should just continue from where it stalled to be honest.
Firewire would have been easier!

For large transfers, and 22GB definitely qualifies as that, you should try a hard connection, Ethernet cable, Firewire, USB or something..WiFi cannot sustain it's connection for one stream for a long time. In actuality it's constantly sending/resending packets due to drops..

Regards

thanks

Yeah I thought it sounded like a dumb idea but the it support guy was insistent - I have cancelled and using firewire. Thanks for your comments.
