Copying Large Files Over The Network....Extreamly SLOW
I am experiencing incredibly poor performance when copying and moving files,
and yes, even calculating the time to move the files takes just as long as actually moving the damn files! As this is one of the most basic features of an OS, you'd think they would ensured it would work correctly. Seems MS spent more time making things look pretty than actually making sure the basics work. I've also noticed that copying files over a network is even worse; on several occasions I've had to leave it copying files overnight as it was going to take 3 hours to move 200Mb of files - ridiculous. XP shifted the files in a couple of minutes. I can't believe that this problem did not exist pre-release........... and MS released Vista anyway. I have tried: 1. Running "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable" (Did Not Work) 2. Installing the hotfix at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/931770 (Did Not Work) 2a. Hotfixes can be found he http://hotfix.xable.net/download/ind...Neutral/Vista/ 3. Tried going to Control Panel - Programs And Features and unchecked "Remote Differential Compression" (Did Not Work) 4. Disabling the Windows Search service "SearchIndexer.exe" (Did Not Work) 5. Tried going to Control panel - Folder options - show icons, never thumbnails (Did Not Work) I am all out of ideas. This is a real MS problem. This is one problem that could take Vista right out of the picture............ for good. Looks like MS dropped the ball on Vista....even more so than with WinME, but that's another story. Randy D |

Let me tell you where I am at with it, at the risk of you thnking I am nuts. For the first week that I had my new Vista box I had a major issue with the slow network copying and tried everyhting you did and as with your experience, nothing worked. I talked to Microsoft about it and they had no solutions other than the steps that you already took. I even upgraded to a gigabit network switch and new router to eliminate any bottlenecks. Suddenly, after a week or so, the problem seemed to go away - I don't know if Vista was indexing everything on the server or why the problem went away but I went from about 5/sec to 25/sec transfer rate - this is copying and pasting the same file (a 500 MB video) from server to local hard drive. I timed the same file transfer both to an XP box and the Vista box and they are almost identical in time. I know that this info probably doesn't help you, but I just wanted to share my experience with the same problem. Dan |
