RDC is for syncronizing altered files over slow networks. You should have put your 4gig file on a remote server over ADSL or dial-up, then changed some stuff inside it, then used RDC to sync the files. You would then have discovered RDC is about 135937500 seconds faster than re-uploading the entire 4gigs a second time to the remote server... (assuming a regular ADSL1 connection) This is a nonsense test.

Service Pack 1 fixed a lot of problems in Vista and now that SP2 is available I recommend everyone install that too.

I feel your pain with the slow network transfers. I'm just on a regular 100mb switch so you can imagine how slow my network is. Have you tried disabling auto tuning yet, I did get a modest speed increase when i disabled it. Follow this link and let me know if it helps. http://www.vistarevisited.com/2007/11/26/disable-vistas-autotuning-to-improve-wireless-connectivity/ Kevin. @ Tarrant,

Both computers used a Gigabit NIC with standard frames across a Gigabit switch. I got a transfer rate of 30 MBytes/sec (= 240 Mbits/sec). I then did a clean install of Vista Ultimate on my HTPC, installed SP1, turned off IPv6 and kept RDC on. Restored my dvr-ms back to the HTPC, and now the transfer rate was only 11 MBytes/sec (88 Mbits/sec). Turned RDC off and essentially still got 11 MBytes/sec. Tried copying a file instead from the HTPC to my XP comp, still got the same transfer rate. Why I am still getting crappy XP Vista transfer rates across a Gigabit LAN?

I was planning on waiting for the final version of SP1 then redoing the test. Thanks for the input. @ Matt MS, That a good idea.
