I made an application that copy files (bigger than 80 MB)from a local to a network disk throught a dial up connection (33.600 bps). But when the "copy" begin, I lose the control to perform another process (for example: Display a blinking alert like "...copying files...1%,2%," and so on.)<br>
Do you know any way to do this?<br>

Thank you!!!! <br>

When you connect to your network server through a 33.6 connection, you will find that your system resources drop by an equivalent 78%, and since even 2 well known program can take 35% from your resources, you probably jammed up the system as soon as the copy started.
The way round it appears to be a little tougher..

A faster connection will help.. 56k (ADSL or Cable will be better) then maybe more memory (RAM) in your source system..
There unfortunately is no &quot;cheap&quot; way to do it, so get yer hands in those pockets Boy!!! (Or Girl, if apply)
