Just bought my QD last week and found it is very slow to transfer files (WAV, Pic, ZIP and etc) from my PC to QD. Usually a 3.5M file will take about 15minutes via bluetooth and PC Suite.
Is this normal or is there some settings I should change to speed up the file copying?

Thanks

Yes BT is slow. Get yourself a card reader.

Yes, but do you think 15 min is reasonable for a 3.5M file?
A bluetooth should be 1Mbps = 100KB/s, right? then a 3.5M file should be
35seconds.. but mine is 15minutes.... :con?
Just wondering if there is any settings I should change...
Thanks.

check what version of USB u have. Also check the dongle stats.... Bluetooth is a bad gamble for file transfer ...its a communication platform that has significance in dynamically updated data... like say in gaming, voice transfer,contacts,memos etc.
