The *best* way to download pictures from your camera is NOT to connect the camera to the PC.

Get a USB or FireWire Memory Card Reader. and leave it connected to the PC. Then whenever
you want to download the pictures remove your memory Card from the camera and insert it into
yoy Memory Card Reader. You will then access the card as a drive letter like "E:" or "F:".
Usually this method is faster than using the camera's USB port and you will save battery
power.

I use a SanDisk 6 -in- 1 Memory Card Reader for my Digital Rebel's Compact Flash cards. It
will alse read my parents SmartMedia cards and friebs SD cards.

You will find this is the advice you'll get in photography News Groups such as;
