Blade Transfer Services 6000 - Sharepoint Portal Server - Nil

Dontcha just love Sharepoint Portal Server (SPS)? (NOT)...

I'm currently using Blade Transfer Server (BTS)to transfer 6 GB of data to a remote server across the world using http. No problems... Not one error, in fact the file got there in 6 hrs!

However... I'm struggling with SPS to get 6 word docs no larger than 800k each transftered to a remote SPS server. Does anyone use SPS seriously across the internet? I have no end of problems with it. (I'm really sorry to say)...

Perhaps we need to add some Document Managment attributes to BTS ;-)

Why YOU need Blade Transfer Services

Today has been a strange day. Floods in Seattle, network interuptions here in Wellington. All in all it led to a day where you couldn't trust a computer would be running, let alone network be relient and available.
Here's where BTS came to my aid and saved the day (again)....

We all use software that we think we know, but then there is always that moment (it's akin to the bomb defuser cutting the wire) where we say to ourselves "Is this really going to work, and if it doesn't have I wasted hours of my time?"....
Today I was so happy to use BTS to upload 4GB a data from here in Wellington New Zealand to Microsoft USA. I knew for a fact that if it broke 5% of the way through the upload could resume. I knew for a fact that if it broke 80% of the way through the upload could resume. I knew for a fact that if it broke 99% of the way through the upload could resume.
To cut a long story short, the data got to Redmond and the job got done against all odds!

I'm so happy we've got BTS (even if we did have to write it ourselves!)...
