deleting files is slow

Hello,

i am using FreeFileSync to synchronize two network storages over the www. Now i have to delete a lot of files and this software is only deleting 1-2 files per second. Is there way to speed this up like using multiple connections/workers at the same time?

That sounds good. In my case i have only one physical unit on each site. The limitation for me is the sequential processing because it takes a lot of time to perform a task when the source and the target are on different networks.

For example i have 10 MBit/s upload. It is no problem when there are only a few huge files but when there a many little files i can only achive around 0.5 Mbit/s. Multiple transfers at the same time would speed this up a lot.

When will this be ready?

I have two more ideas for you.

1. my dsl connection is disconnecting every 24 hours due to limitations of my isp. It would be great if FreeFileSync could retry synchronization after a user seted amount of time then.

2. it would be nice to have bandwith limitation in freefilesync to save up some upload bandwith for other users in the network.
