Default slow-file transfer


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.
