This was not necessary, you only need it in the folder containing Altair.
Suggest you remove from Windows\System32

My brother has watched Zulu over 50 times (and that was 5 years ago). From what I remember, it always has the same ending!

The first person to be shot at was Will.
( The sergeant obviously didn't like him as he said... "Fire At Will" )
Ok all done now thanks for ALL your help.

It has been suggested that selecting a menu that kills the picture and sound before beginning the transfer can also speed it up. Although I haven't timed it, it does seem faster. |

I've just added the U and Uu patches to both my Toppies and got a huge speed increase in transfer rates.
I'm going to have to test more to check my figures aren't wrong but I used to get 2.44MB/s (might have been higher), now I'm getting at least 4.18MB/s.
I tested using a 1GB file. It took around 7 minutes without the patches, it's now around 4 minutes.
This is running it in Turbo Mode. When not in Turbo Mode, the 1GB file transfers in around 7 minutes.
I can't believe I waited this long to test these patches, IMO they are essential. |

USB Upload Accelerator + MacTF?
Hi, I'm trying to increase my upload speed using the TAPs in PatchPack. I installed usb_upload.TAP into Program Files and ran it on my Toppy. I then tried uploading a 1 Gbyte file with MacTF in Turbo mode. The transfer speed was not obviously different from without usb_upload. About 12 mins for 1 Gbyte = 1.4 Mbyte/sec, so about the same as before.
Questions:-
- what kind of improvement to upload speed could I expect to see?
- did I do anything wrong?
- do I need to run both TAPs to get just an upload improvement?
- there are some comments about "special" settings for MacTF. Not clear what these might be?
thanks in advance |

I've answered some of my own questions
- about 40% improvement
- just the upload TAP (I'm using the TAP so far, not the patch)
- it doesn't seem to work with MacTF. Works fine with Altair and the new .dll though. |

I would still have expected the [U] patch to have shown an effect when transferring files to the Mac.
The accelerator patches work by disabling software CRC checking when transmitting data [U] from the toppy or sending data [Uu] to the toppy. These patches only disable the CRC checks on the toppy end - you also need to make the host computer aware that CRC checks should not be performed. For windows, this is done by using a modified DLL. I've no idea what happens on the mac - it may be there is no such modification or it may be that the modification has always been present. This may explain why you saw no change in performance.

I don't use MacTF but MPEG Streamclip on the Mac does support USB acceleration. |

MPEGStreamClip is nicer and more stable as well. The only thing I miss from MacTF is drag and drop. Thanks. |

just found out about these patches. Have questions: - Altair wont run on my W10 laptop so I use Antatres. Will these patches speed up transfers with Antares, ot are they solely for Altair? |
