Bought a new computer with windows 7 and am using easy file transfer over a wireless network. It has been 13 hours and counting to transfer 5.2GB of info (and still says 3 hours and 20 minutes to go). Why is this so slow? Would I have been better off transferring files to an external drive and then to the new computer?

Transfers over wireless are NEVER fast. You'll probably get something like 30kb/s...
So it's normal it's so slow.

Make sure you enable file transfer with 40 and 56 bit encryption. Can make quite a difference.
