MTP on Ubuntu

I installed btsync on my wife's galaxy ace, but even of the computer and
the phone are on the same wifi network, upload rates from the phone to
notebook are close to 10kbps. Yes, kbps... My Galaxy S2 fared better, but
not that better: close to 600kbps. And drained battery pretty fast too.
On the other hand, AirDroid drops GBs of music on my phone as fast as my
card can write (~10mbps).
