who are you tranfering from? For some people there is down time but usually not... depends on the company you are transfering from.

If you transfer them and you change the dns imiideatly then there must be no downtime I think, if the dns refresh, the old is gone aand the new is gonna work, or am i wrong?

I would suggest going to directnic.com . Godaddy has made a bit of a bad impression over the last little while (just search on this board)

When you transfer a domain name, the DNS settings from your old registrar
will be handed over with your domain to your new registrar. When your new
registrar gets the domains and you access them on their site, only then, will
they allow you to change the DNS settings.

This is a process that is made to avoid downtime completely.
Now, I will add the comment that not all registrars are created
equal..... Some may not adhere to the rules due to buggy programming
on their end, however if it is a larger company, then by all means it should
be ok. DomainNameSystems or DirectNic seem to be good along with godaddy.com

Happy Halloween!
