Hey there. I'm just wondering- what's your average bluetooth file transfer speeds? My friend and I are sitting about 4 feet apart (both have MacBook Pros), and he's transferring a pretty large file. The speed is ranging from 15-45KB/sec, usually floating around the higher range.
Is this normal? What about everybody else?
Thanks!
Question about
Bluetooth MBP-to-MBP speeds?
Because of the way bluetooth works, it is not the most efficient form of transferring files wirelessly. (It uses different frequencies for different types of data trasmissions.) I recommend you update your Mac to Lion and use the AirDrop feature which sets up an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi connection that is much faster than bluetooth in comparison. Let me know how it goes. Have a great one!
