Just thought y'all would get a kick out of this: On my business laptop, I'm running Vista with an openSUSE 10.3 VM appliance.
I downloaded about 21G of files from our corporate network for me to use at home. I have a 500G USB drive here that I use to store stuff on.
Well, I copied the files and went to paste them on the USB drive in Vista. After about ten minutes, I noticed the progress bar was still calculating the time to copy and had a current estimate of 74 hours.
I cancelled the process and fired up the VMWare session of openSUSE. I then opened up the host drive via smb and the usb drive. I started copying.
40 minutes later, the process was complete.
Go openSUSE!

Slow copying of files to USB devices seems to be a bug in Vista ( probably one of millions ). I found using Teracopy helped a great deal. I takes over the copying of files from vasta and copies them much quicker! http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php Richard G. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
