best/fastest way to exchange big amounts of data from computer to computer
 

i need about 10gig of files and date copied from one computer to my laptop!

what would be the best/fastest connection/way to do that?

- External USB HDD
- Network between the two computers

network would be the quickest i think!

ok thanks...

is it not possible to connect them directly via usb. ??

what the Brazilian God said :winkwink:

alternative : Burn it on DVD RW's - not a too fast method though...

Usb - USb ?! O.o never heard of it.

Just use a crossover cable and run the network setup

to set up a network i would only need a router and two network cables right ?

A RJ45 Crossover Cable will do to connect them directly.

don't think so, network card to network card, or if they're both connected to the same router - that should do it

If you have external HD I'd recommend doing that though, I tried networking my PCs and sometimes I see some of them on the network, sometimes I don't see any of them, totally fucked up situation, tried couple of solutions and tricks to no avail but I gave up coz it's not that important to me.

gigabit network

yeah, I would go with external hard drive, or BIG memory stick

:thumbsup :thumbsup

what he said! Just set the IP right on both computers so that they can find each other!

yup crossover works fine

ok thanks for the help guys...
