Q: Connection lost while migrating in Mavericks

Hi! Had problem with migration. As soon as the target computer start to search for data on the source computer they loose connection. I'm updating from via ethernet cable directly between the two computers. Sounds familiar? Any idea what's going on?

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Migrating from MacPro via ethernet.

    I had the exact same issue yesterday. I upgraded to a new MBP with Retina, coming from a 2007 MBP. I had to upgrade to Mavericks on the old one and then started Migration assitant over wifi because neither MBP have the same connections, so I'm forced to use wifi. 16hrs was the estimate I received, and with 4hrs remaining it lost connection. The new MBP showed that roughly 100GB of info was taken up by my music and movies, but I could not find any of it using Spotlight nor iTunes. So I reinstalled Mavericks and I got my space back, but I don't want to waste another 16hrs+ with this.....
