When I drag a file into one of my idisk folders the transfer window pops up....but it acts as though it is copying the file to a local disk. i.e. the transfer speed is incredibly fast and the progress bar moves all the way across. It then sits there while the file is actually uploaded.

I am unable to see exactly how fast my file is transfering to the idisk. Is this a common issue?

Mines the same, usually copies very fast then sits there with "Closing file..." for the time it takes to upload.

Yes, I have a slow dsl and that is how it behaves… I can even recall it when my connection was via 56kbps modem… nevertheless, it was always kinda slow so I use Goliath to copy stuff from/to my iDisk since a long time ago.

Do you have iDisk syncing turned on? Won't it first copy it to the local iDisk, the sync in the background?

Apple has an article about this in their knowledge base which may help explain what is happening during an idisk file transfer.
