OH how I wish WiFi weren't offered for setup and migration assistan or that a warning about it popped up when the option was chosen. WiFi is too slow for migrating more than a few GB of data. Since everyone should be using some sort of backup strategy and TimeMachine is built in to the Mac OS, I recommend users use their TimeMachine backup to migrate to a new computer.
