Sluggish file transfer causes major problems in Windows Vista, as compared with Windows XP, simply because
Do not get us wrong here, Vista performs very fast on advanced networking environment, but was introduced too much overhead in a normal home office environment, you just have to disable some settings two reduce overhead, all done in two simple steps.
Unless you are equipped with advanced PC and network devices can expect your results decreased by 20 ~ 50% over the file transfer as comparing two XP, so lets' find the causes and resolve the problem now:
1: a Remote Differential Compression - This protocol calculator, compress and only transfer files with the updated version, and thus files synchronization works extremely well on lower bandwidth networks, but the brakes normal network with extra overheads in compression. Using a faster processor can improve Remote Differential Compression as Vista-trade processing of network bandwidth by compressing the data before they are transferred. You should always disable this feature on older and slower computer, because you have more bandwidth than processing power!
2: a TCP Auto-Tuning Features - This feature will maximize your gigabit network by automatically and continuously adjust the two adjusting to the maximum bandwidth available from your hardware; It performs very well on high-bandwidth environment, but not very good with low bandwidth network dove two additional costs of detection and also went bad when using supported hardware such as firewall or routers.
You can disable these features to speed up
To disable Remote Differential Compression, go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off, uncheck Remote Differential Compression and press the OK button.
To disable TCP Auto Tuning, Windows key and type "CMD press. Exe" and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run as administrator and type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning = disabled", now type "exit "To return to Windows.
If you have decided two activate this feature when upgrading your hardware, do the same, but type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning = normal" to turn the TCP autotuning feature.
You can try to send some files now, you should notice several improvements in your file transmission, your file is sent across networks or disk much faster!
