It should work well even on lines +on which TCP completely chokes. The transmission is performed at +user-preprogrammed fixed data rate with no flow control, only with lost-packet +retransmits. Brutalcopy always transfers the file without error, even on +erroneous lines. It uses a CRC-32 checksum algorithm together with the checksum +in the UDP packets. + +Warning: using this utility can cause total line congestion. Don't use it on +with high transfer rates unless you know what you do. On some routers, the +UDP is artificially throttled in order to prevent such practices. Use +FSP for more user and bandwidth friendly file transfers. + +WWW: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/bcp/ |
