File transfer wizard problem

I'm running the file and settings transfer window with a
direct connection between computers (seral to serial,
with a null modem cable). It runs for hours (more than 4
hours so far) and won't finish the transfer. Am I doing
something wrong?
 
"Direct Cable" means via serial port, which will be very, very slow. Use this at the risk of many
very frustrating hours of waiting, since F.A.S.T. data (.dat) files can be very large.

At times, particularly on large migrations, the Status Bar may appear to be frozen. As long as the
hard drive light is flashing, all is probably well.
