Re: NT Trans, NT NOTIFY

yeah

iis is pretty broken in this regard and it is common to have these
thundering herds of notify eating up all bandwidth and cpu.

i would either
1, replace it with apache which is not broken in this regard
2, disable file notifications on the client    but that has other
sideeffects due to iis stupidity

there is a reason why people dont use iis + fileservers on popular websites.
