rename large html file is very slow

Hi.

I found this issue. I downloaded a large file in chunks from rapidshare. The file is named
a.part1.rar.html to a.part5.rar.html

When I click F2 in order to rename the file (take away the .html) to .rar ths thing is this process is very slow. Takes about 20-30 seconds to regain control of Windows Explorer.

The last file (a.part5.rar.html) is 2MB large and this one takes a couple of seconds (not immediately) to be renamed but the rest are 100MB each.

If I "return" the .rar to .rar.html is done almost immediately. This happens only renaming large html file (as far as I know)

I found another issue as well. If I transfer a rar file to my machine takes for example 10 seconds but if the file is the original .rar.html takes at least 3 times (30 seconds).

I received some tip in another forum regarding this as follows:

So I tested and apparently NOD is the cause. When I disable the AV, the rename is in a blink.

This happens with any file. I renamed a large 300MB .avi file to .rar.html and then rename it to .rar only and the result was more time waiting more than 60 seconds and the machine almost frozen.

EDIT>>>
I just tested this in an XP with NOD V3 also and the same result
Also I tested with an exe file instead of a .rar and the same result

Any idea is appreciatted,

 

Hi guest, thanks for your answer but I have to said that my installation is pretty new and no changes were made to NOD. I review each screen of the procedure you mentioned and did it but no changes made by the DEFAULT button.

So I am in the same situation.

Any other ideas?

 

No, I don't have any other.

As I mentioned, the file originally is a .RAR downloaded as .RAR.HTML This is the extension I see .rar.html

Did you tried on your machine? Rename any large 100MB+ .rar to .rar.html and back again to .rar and you will notice the difference and the behavior I am describing. Also if I disable NOD this rename thing is as expected.

Regards

 

Could you please PM me the link to the file in question so that I can check it myself? Only SFX archives are scanned internally when being copied.

 

Hi Marcos.

Code:

The private messaging system is currently unavailable.

But this doesn't matter. As I mentioned, any file can do. I just made another test. I rar an avi file and repeated the process...the same

So If you have any .rar (preferable 100MB+) repeat the procedure.

I'll wait until the messaging system is available and send you the last file I created.

Thanks
