Not a biggie, but is there a way of limiting the amound of bandwidth or the priority during the File Sync as I find FFS takes all the bandwidth and the HTPC sutters when trying to play video at the same time from the same source drive over the NW. I have tried setting "RunWithBackgroundPriority" to "true" but it is the same result.
Great Prog by the way!
Thanks

There is one indeed: Edit GlobalSettings.xml and set "RunWithBackgroundPriority" to "true". This will make sure that foreground tasks are not impeded by the sync job.

I take it this setting is read each time FFS starts (eg no reboot is required)?

Yes, there's no reboot required. This setting will "lower the resource scheduling priorities of the process (and its threads) so that it can perform background work without significantly affecting activity in the foreground."- MS
