How to speed up file transfer in Vista ?

You’ll observe that windows vista is very slow at file copy and file transfer. Why windows vista takes more time to move files ? There are some legitimate reasons that makes windows take too much time to transfer files in vista.

First windows vista takes time to check the files and folders and security credentials. This delays your file copying or moving operation. UAC is responsible for the most of the delay in the file transfer. If you want to speed up file transfer in vista then you need to use external file managers or file copying softwares. I’ve managed to find two softwares that will let you copy files instantly (and even faster than default windows vista file transfer speed).

- Terracopy
- Creative element powertools
