Speed Up Network File Copying in Vista

Speed Up Network File Copying While Playing Audio in Windows Vista SP1

Windows Vista restricts network traffic to 10 packets per millisecond while playing multimedia to prevent skipping. Unfortunately this causes network speed to be pitiful on a gigabit network, especially during file copies over the network.

Service Pack 1 includes a new registry tweak that can be used to change the throttling percentage so you can at least partially fix this problem, but you should be careful to test it out, because you don't want your audio to skip either.

Note: This setting is only really useful if you are on a gigabit network - the default values should be fine for a Wireless network.
