How long do transfers take from TiVo to PC?

Because TiVo Desktop is transcoding the TiVo file on the fly, it takes a bit longer than one would expect for the file to transfer to your PC. In general, it takes about 50% the length of the programme for a transfer over Ethernet and 75% the length of the program for a transfer over the wireless network. So, a 30 minute program will transfer in around 10-15 minutes, an hour long program in about 30 minutes, and so on.
