I rented a DVD from Blockbusters today, and on the box somebody had written "3.142 stars out of 5".
I think it may be a pirated copy!
EFA. I think it may be a pirated copy!

M Ward does a brilliant cover of that song; it craps on the terrible bowie version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbxQ9bvdZgU

(I do, tragically, have a vague idea as to why it the copying time changes)
I thought it was because it bases it's time estimate on the number of files left vs. number copied, whereas it would be more accurate if it measured on file size, not number? Am I close?Instead of taking average transfer speed, which would take a while to "stabilize", it takes the current transfer speed, which could jump up and down every couple of seconds.
They fixed this for a big part in Win 7, it's much less "twitchy" in 7 ime.
It's brilliant, and absolute blows the built-in Windows file copy into the weeds. Has pause and resume functions as well, and is far more accurate on transfer times. It also offers a number of features if one file is corrupted, eg. skip and continue with the rest (rather than aborting the entire operation like Windows does). I put it on all the machines I use.
