I'm just using it for transfering movies, music, tv programs etc between laptop and PC so can be small or large.
I've tried setting network up between 2 computers before using a crossover cable but couldn't seem to get the file sharing thing to work, I did get them to share interweb connection tho. I'll give it another go. At least I won't have to be copying stuff twice.
Another thing, USB2 - why does my PC and laptop, which both have USB2, only have a couple of the ports as USB2 and the rest are USB1.1. They don't exactly go out of there way to distinguish them either. seems very strange to me
