slow-file transfer
I have been struggling for months now with slow file transfer (Vista Home
Premium SP1 to Vista Home Premium SP1). Currently, I am trying to transfer a 2.95 GB file. The last ten minutes have been met with "Calculating Time Remaining". If the trend holds once the calculation is done it will tell me that the transfer will take around 15 hours. I stand corrected it is 1 Day and 15 hours. Remote Differential Compression is off. Hardware is Wireless N Router (Dlink) and USB Wireless G USB adapters on both computers. Wireless connection is three bars on one PC and five on the other PC. Rick

Part of the problem is the USB wireless adapters. You are being hit with two
things that are slow - USB and wireless. That said the transfer should still be much faster that what you are experiencing.

But aren't your changes for Internet speed. My Internet speed is fine. It
is the file transfer from computer to computer. "Kerry Brown" wrote: Part of the problem is the USB wireless adapters. You are being hit with two things that are slow - USB and wireless.

The changes affect the way Vista talks to other other computers, both on the
local network and on the Internet. The changes essentially turn off the advanced networking features in Vista. Some network hardware doesn't work properly with these advanced features and causes problems which can include the slowdown you are seeing. If the changes don't fix the problem the article also tells you how to reverse them. Make the changes, reboot, see if the problem is any better. If it's not reverse the changes and reboot once again. -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ http://vistahelpca.blogspot.com/ "RICK" wrote in message ...

slow-file transfer
Should I be upgrading my adapters to Wireless-N as well. How much will this
help? Has anyone used a system where you create a wireless telephone adapter near your computer. Can you hook DSL up to a wireless telephone adapter? Is this even a possiblity. Of course wired would be the best but currently I don't see any way to hook things up wired; older home with addition and no basement.

Rick I'm not sure about the networking issues but I'm having very good luck using the TeraCopy beta in Vista. It lets you adjust file buffer sizes in the Options.ini file. I have a 10/100 wired network XP Pro to Vista Home Premium 32 bit and my copies over the Lan with TeraCopy are in the range of 8 to 11 MB/sec. Using the Windows shell copy it's usually around 6 MB/sec max. Also I use FreeCommander file manager and use TeraCopy beta for the copy and moves instead of the Windows shell copy! No hanging "calculating" dialog. At the bottom of this page is the download link: 'Code Sector Blog » Blog Archive » TeraCopy 2.0 beta 4' (http://blog.codesector.com/2008/08/0...opy-20-beta-4/) If you use FreeCommander see their forum for how to set up to use TeraCopy as the default copy/move program. -- MilesAhead "Why is half the world named after a guy I never heard of?"
