Comment (by AishaDracoGryph):

 Replying to [comment:5 deryni]:
 > Have you tried using file compression tools before doing the copy? That
 might help significantly (depending on too many factors to name). Also, if
 you copy back and forth as a way to synchronize multiple
 machines/directories you should look into tools that perform this job
 better than standard copy does, that is tools like rsync and unison.

 Well I prefer not to compress my files on my backups, so I can easily
 access them, that's why I have lots of space. I use synctoy, but due to
 the immense number of files I found I have to purge my log directory (on
 both ends) manually to avoid locking the program up.
