PC to PC transfer

I'm trying to transfer some things from one PC to another on my home network, but it seems very slow.

5gb taking 1hour+ to transfer.

Is this right?

5GB in an hour is a transfer speed of 1.4MB/s that is slooooow!

My main PC is connected to a virgin super hub via Cat5 cable.
The laptop i'm trying to transfer to is connect wirelessly to the hub.

do you have a spare Cat5 cable to plug into your laptop so they are both wired?

not too hand no

Guessing you don't have a USB stick to hand either?

How far away from the hub are you?

the laptop is sat about 3 feet away, the pc about 30 feet in a bedroom.

I think if i cant some how improve the speed i'll have to transfer using Memory cards

the transfer speed is only 1.61mb/sec

The internet via the superhub is well of 20mb/sec

Mixing up bits and bytes? 1.61 MB/sec = 12.88 Mb/sec, still slow but nearer to your 20 Mb/sec to the Internet.
