The New Microsoft File Transfer Manager is a Pain in the A**!

I am sure any potential kinks in the new FTM are exacerbated by the
exceptional hammering the servers are experiencing downloading Vista. As I
watch my transfer rate crawl to 35KB/sec or sometimes stop altogether, I
can't help but wonder if a BitTorrent-style approach from Microsoft might
have been a nifty inclusion for releases like this.

I've put a bug on Connect:
https://connect.microsoft.com/feedb...eedbackID=43943

Basically the upload percent counter goes up 10x to much, so it ends up
being 1000% at the end of it... it's just a bit of a pain!

Not here. It looks normal and ends at 100%

It looks like the new FTM is having issues with my Windows One Care Live
Firewall. I turned the Firewall Off and it is now downloading normally. I
apoligize for the Foul Language.

I wouldn't say it's a bug because I can't know what's committed
functionality. But I think there would be much more use of this
revolutionary download software if it was actively trying to re-establish
the link. Once something goes wrong, it comes to the "Interrupted" state and
then a human intervention necessary to continue the process. With the whole
intelligence attempt of Vista it looks a bit odd.
