Comments on: Vista file copying showdown: RTM vs SP1 (updated2) http://www.istartedsomething.com/20070928/vista-file-copy-sp1-comparison/ All the stuff about Microsoft and technology you haven't read anywhere else. Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:06:26 +1100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: BiGBang http://www.istartedsomething.com/20070928/vista-file-copy-sp1-comparison/comment-page-1/#comment-63559 BiGBang Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:03:03 +0000 http://www.istartedsomething.com/20070928/vista-file-copy-sp1-comparison/#comment-63559 There's this alternative way which i read in some post: You can use a third party app. In the post the author introduced Teracopy and claimed that it's even faster the Windows XP Default copy. The comments approved the claim as well. (Haven't got time to test it myself). Works with Drag and Drop system. No Ads. You can uninstall it and get back to Windows's default copying system whenever you want. +It's free. ;) http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.asp Cheers, BiGBang.

BTW: The bug seems to manifest when you've got 2 drives in the system... those with only one don't seem to have the problem. :-) BTW: It was even slower before SP1… so it’s a big improvement.

Unfortunately it doesn't always seems to fix the problem. I just copied 8GB of data from my C directory on one drive to a second storage drive and it took around 30 min!!!! That's way too slow. These are 7200RPM 500GB seagate drives with 32MB and SATA II!!! They're not slow... and the processor is a Phenom 9500!!!! 2GB memory!!! I've benchmarked the drives using ghost and they got 2GB/min transfer rates!!!! That means about 4 min for the copy not 30!!!! I someone has some ideas please feel free to speculate. :-) Hi,

Try it with http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/. Download the silk icons and unzip. It takes AGES :) Hey,

I will try Altap Salamander. It isn't the speed I care about it is more the info. When keeping an eye on the copying of my many project folders I need to know from the copy dialogue boxes what files are copying at any particular time and which folders they are copying from, rather than just knowing which folder the folder I am copying is from! as all the sub folders I'm copying are from the same parent. Vista doesn't really give any useful copy info and XP was better at this. Now I have no idea what's going on...I haven't explained myself well..so I'm sure you guys don't know what going on either.lol I'll just try Salamander =) Thanks guys. I will try Altap Salamander.

I don't know if it uses some low level api or what, but it copies files way faster and with flawless time remaining. It also lets you queue transfers so they don't all happen at once, which is a huge plus for me. I use Altap Salamander (dual pane file manager) to manage large file operations in Vista.

With XP it takes me about 2 1/2 minutes to copy the same 7GB file to the same computer I don’t get it, I had RTM, and I never ever had any problems copying files over the network, i tried 7GB files and they copied within a minute, I recently upgraded to SP1 and it’s just faster.

I make music and move sub folders around a lot from disk to disk when organising my work. If I copy a folder (which contains many other song folders and related files) from one disk to another it doesn't tell me which files/folders are currently copying! it simply states which parent folders it is moving from/to which is really useless information. I am sure XP used to tell me what folder/file was presently copying,rather than just the parent destination/source, even if the estimated time was always wrong (as still the case in Vista!). 'More info' in Vista Copy dialog just tells you the'Speed' and 'items remaining', i.e. more pretty useless info. I like to have the full info, as I can then go organise/copy other folders from the parent folder and keep an eye on what has finished copying what is still outstanding, in Vista I have no info other than that I have lots of folders copying to and from the same parent, which I know already!! Useless. Anyone know a fix to this? thanks guys, does anyone else have the following problem with Vista copying?

It's painfully slow with RTM to move even something like a 12K file. Be nice to see if it’s any quicker over a VPN. It’s painfully slow with RTM to move even something like a 12K file.
