How to adjust buffer size of data write?

Hi all. just curious that is there any option like 'write to disk every ??? KB' in SmartFTP just like Flashget ??

Basically what i wanna do is adjust the disk write buffer size to a higher value in order to protect my hard disk from frequent writing when downloading large files. :wink:

Hi,

The change log (https://www.smartftp.com/forums/smartftp ... t8924.html) :
1.5.988.48



# Added registry settings to change the send and receive buffer. See the .reg file at: https://www.smartftp.com/Products/SmartFTP/Addons/SmartFTP%20Client%20-%20Transfer%20Buffer%20Size.zip

The ZIP file content a REG file (a fragment of the Windows registry) :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00







[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSmartFTPClient1.0Transfer]



"Receive Buffer Size"=dword:00002000



"Send Buffer Size"=dword:00001000



"File Buffer Size"=dword:00008000

So, you need to have the latest SmartFTP build, to merge this file into your registry (only to create the keys) and to adjust the settings (using regedit.exe).

BUT:
- Be sure to know what you do before editing your registry (is like your brain: a wrong operation and your Windows will die)
- I don't know the exact value to put in. I think 0 for "Receive Buffer Size" but I'm not sure.

So, use my answer at your own risk!!!

You cannot change the write file buffer with the method suggested by manaco-o. There is no way to change it.
