I have sometimes had my 350D take ages to save files to the PC. Normal time is under 1 sec (but will vary greatly based on the quality of memory card in your camera and USB capabilities).

I have been racking my brain trying to think what caused it Eric. Fixes/thigns to try that come to mind:
- rebooting the computer, starting a fresh connection to the camera through DSLRFocus
- manual mode on the camera
- disable mirror lock

Ahhhh! I know..... noise reduction on the 350D! !! that was it most of the time I think. Turn it off (under the functions menu somewhere). With it on, it'll sit there for the same time as the exposure doing a dark frame before it downloads the file, it'll just say "Busy.." or whatever while it does that.
