PC to PC file transfers work fine ... don't really have a way (that I know
of at least) to measure the speed. I have noticed in the past that if I am
using the network to transfer a large amount of files, as in gigabytes, that
it seems to overwhelm the network and I will tend to freeze up. Other than
that, file transfers have been great. People use file transfers here all the
time to trade files. So did I answer your question????
