Is this Flip way too slow or is this normal?

"It does sound like you're only getting a USB 1.1 connection rather than a USB 2.0 connection.

If you're using all the same equipment (Flip Mino, USB lead etc.) then it's difficult to suggest what might have changed.

Assuming you're using the same lead and that it's not damaged the only other thing I can think of is that it's down to the amount of charge left in the Flip battery. Have you tried the transfer with the Flip attached to the mains charger?

I know that digital cameras need to be powered when transferring."
