shot put pro setup at DVinfo.net

I started using shot put pro instead of sony clip browser to speed up transfers.

Shot put tech support laughed when I said I was using "byte verification" instead of "file size verification".

File size verification is much faster. Do I really need byte verification?

I'm usually burning to at least 2 hard drives and occasionally 3.

Also, the time to go feature seems to be worthless. Anything I can do to get more accurate estimates of time to go? It would be nice to be able to tell a client that we have X minutes for transfers to completion.

I'm using a MacBookPro with SDHC cards in an express card adapter. I'm usually (not always) loading to Lacie rugged portable drives. The Lacie have one 800 & one 400 port so I daisy chain from the MBP 800 port to the first Lacie 800 then to the second Lacie via 400. Wish the MBP had two 800 ports...guess apple are too cheap to provide that.

Is this the best place to discuss Shot Put? it's a popular cross platform data transfer utility.
