Started testing my most recent side project today... Renaming 1.1TB of movie files according to proper naming conventions over a 100Mbs network. Been running for 11hours already and not even a quarter of the way through

    Just renaming? Should only take less than one minute

    I wish, then it would have been done hours ago. This is process takes time...probably partly the size of it, the speed of the network or maybe my crappy slow algo

    Sounds like you have set your movie collection on fire a few hours ago!

    Are you copying files over a network just to rename them?

    I think your "renaming"-process copies every file and deletes the old one internally. You should use a better solution next time!

    Yeah that is exactly whats happening,
    the files are being copied before being renamed. And that is why it takes so long. Ill check what I can do later on when I get the chance
