At times, the file transfer process becomes ridiculously slow.\u00a0<\/span>The usual file transfer speed of 300 kbps higher drops down to a mere 20kbps! Interestingly, it is easy to get a much better file transfer speed with a few little tweaks. This tutorial contains solutions to\u00a0optimize your system and get higher speed during local and over-the-network transfers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can try the automatic way of cleaning Windows 10 for extra-fast file transfer speed. Use ST Cleaner<\/strong> to boost your computer by performing in-depth cleaning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disable Thumbnails<\/b><\/h3>\n

Every time you organize files using <\/span>File Explorer<\/b>, earlier known as <\/span>Windows Explorer<\/b>, the OS automatically generates a thumbnail of each file. This mechanism is a good one for previewing file contents, however it has its own drawbacks. It slows down the file operations to a great extent. File Explorer spends too much time generating thumbnail previews of different media files that are selected for either copying, moving or deleting.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click the <\/span>File Explorer<\/b> icon on the Taskbar.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Click the <\/span>View <\/b>tab on the Ribbon interface.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. You will see several layout, pane and other settings. Click the <\/span>Options<\/b> icon on the far-right corner.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. This will open up a new dialog called <\/span>Folder Options<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Click the <\/span>View<\/b> tab, check the box named <\/span>Always show icons, never thumbnails<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Click <\/span>Apply<\/b> | <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Disable Remote Differential Compression<\/b><\/h3>\n

    The Remote Differential Compression enables syncing data using compression techniques. This reduces the size of data sent across the network. Speed up the file copying, moving and deletion process by turning off the RDC.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Type <\/span>Windows Features<\/b> in the <\/span>Search<\/b> box on the taskbar.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Open <\/span>Turn Windows Features On or Off<\/b> from the Search Results.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. You have a new dialog consisting of a list of all Windows features. Uncheck the box labelled <\/span>Remote Differential Compression<\/b> and then click <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. In order to finish the process, a system reboot is required.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Replace Bad Ethernet Cable<\/b><\/h3>\n

      A bad Ethernet cable can also be held responsible for slow data transfer. Here is what you can do in such a scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. To determine whether this is the case indeed, fire up <\/span>Task Manager<\/b> using <\/span>Ctrl <\/b>+ <\/span>Alt<\/b> + <\/span>Delete<\/b> keys simultaneously.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Click the <\/span>More Details <\/b>icon.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Click <\/span>Performance<\/b> tab > <\/span>Ethernet<\/b> sub tab. (<\/span>Not Connected <\/b>message will be displayed and the sub-tab will be greyed out in case no Ethernet cable is used during file transfer operations).<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Determine the transfer speed in terms of network utilization. If the speed is ridiculously slow, for example, 20 kbps, replace the damaged Ethernet cable.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Optimize HDD for Best Performance<\/b><\/h3>\n

        Turn on write caching on the partition that contains the files that you\u2019re copying, moving or deleting. The steps are as under:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Double click the <\/span>This PC <\/b>icon on<\/span> your Desktop.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Right click the <\/span>Source Partition<\/b>. (Source Partition refers to the drive from where you\u2019re trying to copy\/ move\/ delete files).<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Select <\/span>Properties<\/b> from the context menu.<\/span><\/li>\n
        4. You have a new dialog named <\/span>Drive Properties<\/span><\/i>. Click the <\/span>Hardware <\/b>tab.<\/span><\/li>\n
        5. Select the disk drive in question among the list of DVD ROM, Hard Disk Drive and Removable Medias, if any. Here, select the Hard Disk containing your Source Partition.<\/span><\/li>\n
        6. Click the <\/span>Properties<\/b> button.<\/span><\/li>\n
        7. In the subsequent dialog that appears, click <\/span>Change Settings<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
        8. Click the <\/span>Policies<\/b> tab.<\/span><\/li>\n
        9. Check the box labelled <\/span>Enable write caching on the device<\/b>. It is highly recommended to keep the <\/span>Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device<\/b> checkbox unchecked in order to safeguard your data from accidental loss in case of power surges and other uncertain factors.<\/span><\/li>\n
        10. Alongside the above mentioned options, in earlier versions of Windows, you\u2019ll find an option called <\/span>Optimize for performance<\/b> in the same <\/span>Policies<\/b> tab. Select that option to optimize your hard disk drive for best performance.<\/span><\/li>\n
        11. Click <\/span>OK<\/b> | <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          3. Right-click the network card in use, select <\/span>Properties<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          4. Click the <\/span>Advanced<\/b> tab in the Properties dialog box.<\/span><\/li>\n
          5. Select <\/span>Large Send Offload V2 (IPv4)<\/b> from the <\/span>Property<\/b> list box, and set it to <\/span>Disabled<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          6. Select <\/span>Large Send Offload V2 (IPv6)<\/b> from the <\/span>Property<\/b> list box, and set it to <\/span>Disabled<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          7. Click <\/span>OK<\/b>, exit the Device Manager window.<\/span><\/li>\n
          8. This change of settings will improve the file receiving speed once you restart the PC.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Stop Background Intelligent Transfer Service<\/b><\/h3>\n

            Turning off Background Intelligent Transfer service to get best transfer speed has worked a super brain technique for many people. Use the <\/span>Services<\/b> tool to terminate it as below:<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Press <\/span>Windows Key<\/b> + <\/span>R<\/b>; type <\/span>Services.msc<\/b> and then click <\/span>OK<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n

              Disable Indexing of your Drives<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Windows automatically records file changes using a special service. Temporarily disable the <\/span>Windows Search <\/b>service using the <\/span>Services<\/b> tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              Update Drivers<\/b><\/h3>\n

              Download the latest drivers for your BIOS, Chipset and other devices. Visit the manufacturer’s website and navigate to the <\/span>Downloads<\/b>\/ <\/span>Drivers<\/b> section.

              Disable TCP AutoTuning & Receive Side Scaling<\/b><\/h3>\n

              TCP AutoTuning<\/b> and <\/span>Receive Side Scaling<\/b> can drastically slow down data transfer over the network. Use the command-lines given below to turn both of these features off.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
