Are you getting any error in the console if the transfer got hung?.

I'm advising you to tail the system logs while transferring the file. This will help you to trace out the actual issue.

I am assuming you are transferring from VISTA go your Linux box.
You didn't say how you were doing it.
You might what to consider another protocol. Perhaps rsync or robocopy.

Logs are in /var/log directory. Check files messages.log, syslog, daemon.log, dmesg. You can also run your file transfer application from command line (run program "gnome-terminal") to see errors.
