[quote name='lilman']Another thing I found is that if you transfer files to your iPad through the app file share in iTunes, the transfer speed will slow to a crawl once you transfer a lot of files to a single app. For example, after I transferred a few hundred chapters of manga to ComicZeal, disconnected the iPad, then reconnected to transfer more chapters, I noticed that the transfer speed was very slow. What's really happening though is not that the transfer speed is slow, it's that every time you transfer a file iTunes refreshes the file list for that share. Since my file share was full of comics, this was taking forever. A trick to get around this is as soon as you start a transfer (like drag and drop a folders worth of files to the file share), immediately click another app in the file share area that doesn't have many files in it. That way iTunes won't keep refreshing the file list for the big file share and the transfer speed returns to normal.[/QUOTE]
Great tip, thanks!
