I need to transfer large number of files (<4GB ea., totaling nearly 1TB) from an NTFS drive to an HFS+ drive. Things worked magnificently yesterday, and I don't know what happened. I used to get speeds faster than 1GB/min. Now, I get 100MB/min. How can I remedy this?

The HFS+ drive is external USB. Disconnecting and reconnecting brought back the original speed, for a short while. Mid-transfer of 4.6GB, it started to choke and dropped down to the 100MB/min throughput.

Is there some service I should enable or disable? I have everything related to file transfers set to automatic along with almost everything else. A bit is on manual, and I have started the ones I think may be relevant. I'm baffled.

Restart computer? Could just be something in the background taking CPU load.

Thus far, I have restarted, reinstalled the USB drivers, and tried different USB ports. Also, explorer is the CPU hog when this happens.

It works fine when I transfer less than, say, 1GB at a time. As soon as I try to transfer more, these problems crop-up and do not go away until I restart.

I tried increasing the page file size to 4GB. I'm about to increase the number of page table entries. I have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.

Filling up a 1TB drive 1GB at a time is retarded.

edit: UGH. Even small transfers eventually get cause this problem!!!! This is why I bought Apple, damnit, to get away from this.

edit2: file transfers cause explorer to consume 100% cpu. this is a primary symptom.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
