Fast Data Transfer 0.6.8

Fast Data Transfer is an application for efficient data transfers that is capable of reading and writing at disk speed over wide area networks (with standard TCP).

It can be used to stream a large set of files across the network, so a large dataset composed of thousands of files can be sent or received at full speed, without the network transfer restarting between files.

The project is written in Java, runs an all major platforms, and is easy to use.


key features of "Fast Data Transfer":
· Streams a dataset (list of files) continuously, using a managed pool of buffers through one or more TCP sockets.
· Uses independent threads to read and write on each physical device
· Transfers data in parallel on multiple TCP streams, when necessary
· Uses appropriate-sized buffers for disk I/O and for the network
· Restores the files from buffers asynchronously
· Resumes a file transfer session without loss, when needed

Requirements:
· Sun Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java 5 branch)
· Sun Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java 6 branch) (recommended)

What's New in This Release:
· This release adds -rCount and -wCount flags to specify the number of readers/writers per partition.
· The default is 1 thread per partition.
· A -silent option has been added to not ask for confirmation if an update is available.
