There is a tool out there that lets you adjust the amount of processing power that FileSharing can draw on. By default it is set rather low, to prevent FileSharing from loading down the local workstation too much. I think the name is PowerShare. What kind of network are you using (LocalTalk, Ethernet)? If it's Ethernet and you can setup IP addresses, use the IP option in the FileSharing cp. IP is more efficient as it uses a larger packet size. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
