I deal with this problem almost every other week. Sometimes up to 30 times
a week (large graphics files)
I have a 100% solution (so far on my side)
Robocopy from the NT resource kit.
robocopy c:\source\files\ o:\mapped\drive\ /V /E /Z /R:50 /W:5
/v = verbose logging
/e = all sub-directories even if empty
/z = RESTARTABLE MODE restarts the download if there are problems
/r:x = retry x number of times (default is 1million if not specified)
/w:y = wait y seconds between retries (default is 30 seconds)
At the end it gives a nice little report as follows: (view in Courier font)
