I had a catastrophic data loss of my music collection on my PC, and I need to copy all the files from my Rio back to my PC hard drive. However, I keep getting Connection Timed Out messages on USB or Ethernet connections when performing this operation.

Does anyone know what the problem could be, or if I might get better results with FTP?

The size of music database is about 30 GB, and I am trying to move the whole thing at once. Connection always times out after successfully transfering about 2GBs of files.
