Specifically from a network source to a USB stick?
Is it faster if it is to a local hard drive?
Is it 600MB of files, or a single 600MB file?

Even from a W2K3 x86 server running under Virtual Server I get ~17MB/s throughput to my Vista x64 SP1 client to my local disk, and ~4.5MB/s when saving directly to my USB stick.
Copying the file from my local disk to the stick gives ~6.5MB/s throughput.
(Sample data was a single 170MB WMV file.)

There is no IRL... only AFK
