Windows Performance and Filesize Limit

This weekend I had the chance to test DavDrive's performance when running Widows 7 (32bit).
I tested with Windows Explorer and BitKinex. The latter gave me a nice performance graph. My test file was a video file that was approx. 900MB in size.
The first things I notices was that Windows 7 seems to have a file size limit when it comes to WebDAV downloads. Therefore I immediately continued to test with BitKinex because I had no clue how to fix the size limit by that time. You'll find the solution for this after the BitKinex test.
BitKiney worked like charm. The graph shows the download speed.

DavDrive - BitKinex Performance

Speed was quite good (1,48 MB/s) and by far not as bad as many users have reported when using DavDrive on Windows.
So if you fix your Internet Explorer settings and the size limit, DavDrive should run fine and with reasonable speed on Windows.

Windows Size Limit
To fix the size limit you have to use the registry editor and edit the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\FileSizeLimitInBytes

Windows 7 WebDAV Performance

This bugged me for a while...
DavDrive's WebDAV performance seems o.k. on almost all platforms, except for Windows 7 (and especially the 64 bit version).
I have no Windows 7 at home, so I could not really test.

Today I stumbled over a blog entry by Chief Oddball which suggests a fix.
To make it short, here is the possible fix (quoted form the blog entry):

1. In Internet Explorer, open the Tools menu, then click Internet Options.
2. Select the Connections tab.
3. Click the LAN Settings button.
4. Uncheck the “Automatically detect settings” box.
5. Click OK until you’re out of dialog hell.

I'm really interested if this is working.
