I have the same experience as 'bluebugblazin (openevan)': copying a number of files (in my case: 100 - 1000 jpg pictures from an sd-card to one of my HDDs (NTFS formatted)) initially works OK, but after some time (a certain number of GBs transferred??) not only nautilus freezes, but the whole system becomes non-responsive (force shutdown only).

Every time copying stops after about 30 mb. Nautilus doesn't crash, it just stops. No more harddrive activity, no lights, noone home. Copying a single 1.6 Gb file gave the same problem although it did copy the whole 1.6 Gb it froze at the very end. Only option is Force Quit. Nautilus also falls over trying to change file permissions, this does cause crash with no error message. Has only been doing this since system updates a few days ago. Using Gnome-commander all operations work perfectly.
