[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1166072, member: 145676"] Aye - but we aren't talking about iTunes sharing here. We are talking about arbitrary videos and one program I found that has buffer control is VLC. If you are streaming via itunes - such as through an Apple TV - there is some magic that happens for you (Which may be an argument for Macs in general) I just tried it - and it doesn't take nearly as long as it used to for either Mac to Mac or Mac to PC. It may have been a wireless thing - as I have changed over to a 5GHz N network now whereas before I was using 2.4Ghz. I got a couple of programs that help move data around. I used Flow for moving a 650GB sparsebundle backup. Interarchy seems to do something similar [URL="http://extendmac.com/flow/"]Flow - Mac OS X FTP and SFTP Client[/URL] [URL="http://nolobe.com/interarchy/"]Interarchy - Mac OS X FTP, SFTP and Cloud File Transfer App[/URL] I got each one in a bundle. It seems to help with moving around big files. [/QUOTE]
