File Copying on Diamond

I am copying some podcasts from my PC to Diamond, and it is so slow. I tried via cable and Bluetooth, both very slow. What gives? Is there a way to speed things up?

how big are the files?

They're around 30MB. I haven't timed it, but seems like its taking around minutes or so for each file. I was going to copy these podcasts plus some other music and stuff for my 6 hour drive and back, but it will take all night.

Are you transferring while connected through Activesync? Or Hard Disk mode? You should be transferring while in Hard Disk mode for faster speeds.

Wow, thank you. This is WAY faster. I saw that option when I got my phone last week, but never thought to use it here.
