I have a puzzlement. I have a 4gig USB drive that I'm putting 350+ mb video files on to move from my XP machine to my Win 7 64-bit machine. It's not a USB 2 drive. However, the files transfer from my XP machine to the drive nearly 3x as fast as they do from the drive to the Win7 machine. Is the drive on the Win7 machine being snobbish and not wanting to associate with such a plebeian device? Is there a setting I can set?

Just a guess, but it could be that the XP machine has a USB driver specific to the USB controller while the Win7 machine has a Microsoft driver. Installing the chipset drivers might help there. It could also be that the USB controller on the XP machine is just better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am annoyed. I used that regularly for a perfectly legitimate purpose -- To transfer a weekly radio show from the UK to the US (600MB).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah. More than Megaupload being tits-up, I'm worried about "substantial non-infringing use" being shot all to hell as a principle.

I have to admit, I've rarely used MU for anything legal, but that's entirely not the point.
However, comments on the post list a number of alternatives. Get 'em while they're hot!

Yeah, not happy about that at all.

Yeah, I've used megaupload for legal things. I own, or work for the people who own, a lot of copyrighted material. I really need to be able to convey it back and forth.

Speaking of the bad stuff, my private torrent site of choice seems to be under the weather. I thought it was SOPA-related yesterday, but there's a gibberish message on the front page today. Google doesn't help-I can't tell if they've been hacked or whatever. I'm at a loss!
If anyone has any invites to a good site that's not vanished suddenly, I'd be hugely grateful.
