You mean scping from your desktop pc to the freerunner? This would be slow 
because of USB 1.1, but it should still be faster than 5 k.
Are you still using the 2007.2 release, which comes with the stock freerunner? 
If yes try to upgrade to FSO or Om 2008.8 (is Om 2008.9 already out?) and test 
again.
