The trouble with USB 2.0 ports is that they are often (on older
computers) NOT USB 2.0 'hi-speed' ports, but rather USB 1.1 speed ports
that are 'USB 2.0 compatible'. Also, if you have a device on the port
that is USB 1.1, ALL transfers will go at the slower speed. That said,
your speeds are abysmal, even for USB 1.1. What are the specs on the
computer in use, as to RAM, Processor speed, and OS?

The computer in question has an Abit BE7 mainboard which has USB 2.0 ports
only. A USB 1.1 hub is plugged into one of the ports. It has a P4 2.4 GHz
processor with 1 GB of ram installed. The OS is Mandrake Linux 10.1.


Make sure you have the most current USB drivers for this OS. The speeds you report are well below the slowest values I have seen for any USB device. It may also be that something is set wrong in the USB driver setup.
