	Errors transferring large files over slow connection?

Article Q: If you have a largish file, (mine was 8Mb), and you are transferring it to a much slower network, an error message will occur, and your file won't get synced.

If you're having this problem, what worked for me was to ensure the max speed in the advanced options is set to less than the speed of the slower network. (Sounds obvious maybe, but it took me a while to realise why there was a problem - and other programs don't suffer from this problem)

Ans: If you are moving large size files over a slow network, simply make sure the maximum speed in the advanced options is set to less than the speed of the slowest network.

That is indeed the purpose of us making the speed control feature since v1.87.

Thanks for bringing it up and anybody who benefits from this tip and we should give you three cheers to the air. Too bad you didn't leave your name here.

>and other programs don't suffer from this problem

Are your other programs transfer big files?

BTW, in case some people may not know yet, from version 1.86 the program is capable to transfer file bigger than 2GB, and the upper limit is in par with the Window OS a machine is running.
