How long should it take to transfer about 132 MB over an Airport network?
I'm doing this right now and it is just craaawwling...so far only 8 MB transfered and it's saying it has about "an hour" to go
With a good strong signal, Airport is rated at 11 Mbps. But a lot of that is framing, overhead, etc., so figure that you get half of that as real data payload.
5.5 Mbps = 0.6875 MB/sec
132 MB / (0.6875 MB/sec) = 192 sec = 3.2 minutes
So, yes, something is going awfully damned slowly.

Well i have read an article about this. In perfect conditions do not expect anything more than a quarter of the real data play load.

It means 2,7 Mbps/sec max, 320 KB/Sec.
So 6 minutes should be expected.
There must be a problem somewhere.
