Answer 1

The transfer of a domain process is immediate, yet you can expect a 24-48 hours minimum for the registry to be updated, this is due to the updating of search engine as to where you domain name is pointing, unfortunately there is no way of speeding up the process as it is up to Google, Yahoo and other to perform the update.

I have transfered several domain name to several register and must say that the process was painless and, counting with the above, fairly speedy.

The downtime should allow you to ensure that your site is up and operational, while the registry is being updated does not prevent you from uploading your site and working on your site
