This is a 3rd party application designed to make copying files for windows become faster. I haven't try it so might wanna ask any of you guys have tried this or any other software as the same as this one. Recommended by my friend using Vista coz he complains bout vista file transfer rate that is really inefficient. So what do y'all think?

Personally I'm contented with XP file transfer. icon_rolleyes.gif But, VIsta? I don't know. Any opinion guys? ohmy.gif

Don't know much about this. But the program says it uses 'dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times'.

My guess:
It is trading CPU time for faster file transfer.

So according to your friend, is the improvement significant?

I use Xcopy. What else do I need? biggrin.gif

My friend is using Vista so he said that it improve a lil bit in terms of calculating time for file transfer and the transfer itself. But significantly increase, I don't think so. I think it will depends on ur CPU too. But maybe helps for Vista users who had trouble with Windows file transfer. icon_rolleyes.gif

It's crap. It slows down my copying significantly. Heck, I'd tested default Vista copying with this and also XP copying, and Vista was even faster than XP on my rig when copying file due to it's nature to ask later, copy first, compared to XP's copy first, then stop to ask, then copy, then stop to ask summore

Well...it depends on ur cpu too..

Yeah, think that too. I'm still stickin' wif Windows XP default file transfer. It serves me ok, and tnx to ur review bout the software. Guess it just suxx after all. hehe. icon_rolleyes.gif
