Copy speed calculation display

[Hacker]

I tried to copy a large (~600MB) file to another drive, testing CopyHugeBlockSizeOther. I noticed that when specifying 4096 (+/- some KB) as the value, the copy speed isn't always being calculated. Sometimes it is shown, but in about 80% it isn't.
I have AlwaysCopyInBackground=1, copy was from one physical drive (C:) to another (D:), standard F5, Enter; system is W98SE.

Can anyone reproduce this?

TIA

I tried to reproduce it, but unfortunately I do not have another harddisk nor partition (well, I have linux partitions, but not readable under Windows).
But I tried to copy to mapped network drive
ini settings:
AlwaysCopyInBackground=1
CopyBlockSize=8192
CopyBlockSizeOther=10240
CopyHugeBlockSize=20224
CopyHugeBlockSizeOther=10240
I have selected "Also use big file copy mode" and I do not use compatibility mode.
My background thread shows the transfer rate when copying from HDD to mapped network drive a file with size of ~649MB.
That is all I can do for know.

Could you try selecting CopyHugeBlockSizeOther=4096, as suggested in my first post?
And maybe also CopyHugeBlockSize=4096?

Sorry, I mixed-up something, I understood that problem is when values are >= 4096. I don't know why.
Now I fixed that:
CopyBlockSize=4096
CopyBlockSizeOther=4096
CopyHugeBlockSize=4096
CopyHugeBlockSizeOther=4096
But the rusult is tha same. My background thread shows the transfer rate when copying from HDD to mapped network drive a file with size of ~649MB. Copy speed is always calculated only it needs a few seconds to determine the speed. BTW, I use WinXP and TC 6.02. Mapped drive is a novell disk.

BTW: Have you noticed funny effect when you type drive in parenthesis, eg. (C:) instead of ( C: ) . I made that mistake when typing keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F8) instead of (Ctrl+F8 ). That's disadvantage of emoticons - we need to be careful .

  Hi Chris!
• To avoid such problems, I often use my HTML editor, in which I patched a BB-code profile...

IGL,
OK, thanks nevertheless. The "problem" isn't always reproducible, just very often. And I tried to find an exact blocksize using which this happens and it was somewhere around 4096, however, TC somehow kept changing the exact values I typed in, ie 3100 to 3076, etc.
Just FYI.

Please remember that I was copying from HDD to network drive. Maybe HDD to HDD being much faster will reveal the problem again?
Will anybody else try to join us and to perform the test?
