USB Flash drive transfers (copy to) very slow in Ubuntu

Been this way in 9.04 and now in 10.04...

Anybody got a solution?
 
Well, my Transcend + Corsair flash drives are slow with Windows 7 and the same or a leetle bit faster with Ubuntu.

Have you got one of those fast readyboost certified flash drives?
 
Which file system is on the flash drive? I had the same problem, changed the FS to NTFS.
 
I have the same problem with my little 2G stick. it starts with a bang and then it slows down to about 400kbps. Can take about 20 minutes to transfer 1.7 gig. I thought its just me having this problem...glad to see I am not alone. It has FAT file system on the stick.

I think we all missed a crucial thing here.

Fat32 has some restrictions with larger files, maybe try using NTFS?
 
But i use to to put AVI files on and then watch it on my Al Cheapo DVD player. Dont know if it supports NTFS. Will try and give it a shot.
 
The problem is not the transfer as such, but ending or closing the session, those last few bits. I have ignored this and just carried on working while I waited for the session to close. And I can confirm that it is not just Gnome, I only use KDE and have this issue. Will try CLi when I have a chance to see if it works better.
