    Hi i have 2 computers connected togehter via a wireless home network. I download movies etc on 1 pc (Laptop) and store and view on another. I currently transfer via the home network but this seems very slow way of doing it? Is it the best way or is there another option?

    Howdy,

    You can use a cross over cable (normally yellow and looks the same as a standard network cable) and connect the two machine directly,
    Or
    Update your network to N,

    It's a type of wifi. You are probably using the g standard right now. The n standard offers much better speeds than g.
