Why is it so slow to transfer files to Transformer?

Why is it so slow to transfer files to Transformer? It takes a minute to transfer a 700mb video file. Is it like that in your device too?

Depending how you are sending them, you have the limitation of either wifi or USB 2.0 unless you have USB 3.0 ports on your machine
A minute is fine for 700mb

Yes, a minute is good enough... Try sending a 700MB file over LAN. It'll take a lot longer than a minute to complete.

I connected it to the usb 3.0 port in my computer and the transfer speed is still the same. I'm not complaining or anything. I'm just curious why the transfer speed in my phone is so much faster than the transformer.

Are you tranferring direcly to the Transformers internal SD or to a removable SD? If removable then it is the class of your SD card.

No drivers;. Just plug in => explorer => drag (internal storage)

Internal space question

I really want to get the charge. But with the internal space being only what 2gb. How many apps can u install before u run into problems. I know u can have a 16 gb card. But all apps u can't move to sd. Even if u do some portion is still left on the internal. Well any feedback will help me make the move thanks.

You would have to be insane to fill that much space. I have 150 user apps installed and have 700 megs free. I store all my apps internally. Also, you can get the charge for free on amazonwireless.com

Out of the 1.15gb available for apps, i have used less than half of it with lots of large games. I keep them in internal memory because it is faster than sdhc 2x.

You can send all your apps to sdcard anyways

Torrent

uTorrent has been released for Android (beta). Unfortunately, at least for me, ANY torrent app completely lags the tablet to the point where I consider it unusable. I don't have an sd card. Has anyone tried any torrent app and downloaded files on to an external sd card? I want to know if it lags like that as well?

i use Adownloader, and it is capable of downloading to the memory card. While downloading 4 files at one time, i was able to do other things on the tablet without issues.

try ttorrent. Also, when you want to search within the app you will need to dl a plugin, but I've never had problems. It doesn't do a great job of correcting spelling, etc. but more or less solid all around.

What speeds were you getting? My tablet was already unusable when I was downloading at my max speed (6mbit/s). However, when I'm transfering files between my laptop and my tablet (at 20mbit/s) the tablet is not unusable, but not fast either... Is this all because of the IO issues?

Yep, just got the same problem with torrent and internal storage, it's the same with ttorrent btw.

You should try using aTorrent - i have downloaded stuff onto the tablet without any problems + it's free.
My formula: aTorrent + isohunt.com = works
I haven't downloaded several files at the same time but it worked fine with one file downloading + using a couple of other apps.

I've used every torrent app out there, and they all lag my device when I'm downloading.... Are you downloading to an external sd card?

I've used tTorrent to save to a microSD card and it worked great for me

I'm using ttorrent to microSD card and it works great. Before I was using the internal storage but it was making the tablet unusable. I bought the microSD card just for that.

Alright I am convinced to buy a microSD card just for this reason. Kind of stupid I have to do this, the IO problems really shouldn't be there, but alas. Thanks... Now if only someone could tell me if my Samsung Captivate supported 64gb cards...

The new version of atorrent allows downloading to the card. And I did not experience any lag.

Every torrent application will lag your phone/table it you're downloading to your primary SD Card. This is becase Androids needs to preallocate the full size of the downloaded files. So when Android zero filles 2Gb of files, then the read/write speed for other applications on the internal storage will drop, thus you'll get a lot of lag. Once the preallocation is over the phone comes back to live again (that is if you're not downloading with +10Mb/s speed of more).
Only way to avoid the lag is to have an external SD Card and download to it. BTW you can try my new torrent application TDM. Maybe it'll suit your needs better? (it has no problems with downloading to extarnal cards and it has a file manager to allowes you to manage the file on multiple cards with ease).

Is there a way to mave apps to the external storage?

I am curious if there is a way to move installed apps the the external storage? Thanks

Haven't tried but I believe there is an option in titanium backup to move to external... give that a shot

may i ask why you want to do this? it usually causes more harm than good on the newer devices with HUGE internal memories. it was useful back in teh day of the OG droid with 512MB of internal storage but with the TF300T you have TONS of space.
unless you are doing it for a specific reason other than to save internal storage space, i wouldn't do it.

U can use ZDbox from the market. Has the option to move apps to storage.

For me, the only thing that seems to work is GL to SD. Other applications seem to not recognize the external storage like App to SD. Also to answer the question as to Why we want to do this? I have the 16GB version and still ran out of storage, heavy gaming especially from gameloft applications can take a heavy burden on storage.

Easy Way to free up some sd card space.

Anybody know of an easy way to clean up my sd card, as far as some space. The my phone is slowing down considerably.

Download a file manager and start deleting what u don't need.

Download File Analyser from the play store and find out which files are hogging up the most space that aren't useful and delete.

Your phone shouldn't slow down "considerably" because of a full sd card... Are you rooted? Do u have anitivirus software? Av softwares are resource hogs and should be used temporarily and uninstalled after scans. If u are using a task killer or RAM manager, you will see adverse affects as well. What apps are running when you hold the home button to view currently running tasks?
If you still do believe it is a result of a full sd card, i like astro file manager. The stock file manager to delete sd contents should suffice though.

Also any games you don't use,uninstall them, that too take alot of space, as.videos take up a ton too.
