I too am experiencing lockups on large file transfers.

I am trying to transfer several gigs from an external hard drive (FAT32) to a secondary internal hard drive (ext3) mounted at /home.

The progress bar comes up and says 2 hours remaining, but shortly after, the system completely locks; the clock doesn't even change.

I thought that I might have install some package that corrupted Ubuntu's ability to successfully complete large file transfers, so I did a full reinstall. After the re-installation and immediately after my first login, I attempted to do the same file transfer again. It again locked the system as it did before.
