Just recently picked up a 305 and downloading my files is a major pain in the butt. Why does it take so long to transfer device files that are (presumably) only a couple kbs or mbs in size? Is the data transfer that slow? Have I overlooked a setting somewhere?
How long are you talking? 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes?
25 mins for one ride.
Wow, yea, something’s definitely up. I haven’t had any problems with mine for awhile but there have been times when I couldn’t get courses/workouts to download and had to reset the watch (you will lose your stored data when you do this), which would always fix whatever problem I was having.

get a new watch…
kidding
can you do a software update?
Are you using apple OS X Lion? Don’t know how to fix it, but I got the same problem since a couple of months. I just disconnect the watch, reboot Safari and try again. It usually works after 1 or 2 times
