Faster data retrieval

First off, thanks for making a great product guys! It really helps simplify
my life!

Second, is there a way to retrieve small files faster from the peer computers?

The reason I ask, is that I have a great number of tiny files (<100 kb) and
a fair number of large files (>5mb). I want the library to converge as fast
as possible, and it would make sense in my case to download all the files in
order from small to large.

Does anybody else have an opinion on this?

Hello.

Scheduled to be released to the public on 3-18-08, is SP1. Along with that release is rumors that file transfers between folders and drives will be faster.

And for general speeding up of things in vista is this excellent tutorial:

I hope this helps.
