I've had bad experiences with this one... my iLiad is getting quite flaky when i've copied large amounts of files using USB cable. Could be my memory card, though.
Anyways, I prefer downloading files using wget or scp and unzipping on the iLiad. For some reason, zip doesn't work on the iLiad so tar.gz releases would be appreciated. If the zip-file is created by a build script, adding tar.gz support should be easy.
And for XP-users: The built-in zip functionality is extremely crappy. 7-zip is a free/open alternative which is a
lot faster and has lots more functionality as well as a vastly superior interface (i.e. no wizard!).
