Slow file transfers

I just purchased a 3TB MYBOOK Live, when I copy files over the files transfer quickly until they reach the last 5 seconds of file transfer.  It can then take up to 6 hours for it complete the final write to occure and the copy window to close.  This only seems to be an issue of files of a 200k and larger.  When I first upgraded the firmware everything work great but by the next day it had slowed to this.  I have tried reseting the drive to see if that was the issue. 

That may be related to a WebDAV issue.

Try browsing the WebDAV FAQ to see if that applies.

Thanks so much, that seems to have fixed it.

Hi!

I’m new to this board and have a similar issue, except that I have slow file transfers throughout the process. Unfortunately, the page you linked to is not accessible from my account. I suspect WD have put the same level of thought, care, and craftsmanship into this website as they have into their products. Any suggestions on how to get to that FAQ?
