LapLink for Windows employs a new technology called SpeedSync, which transfers only those portions of a file that have been changed. A 1-MB test file took 18.48 minutes to transfer via modem the first time. When SpeedSync was applied after part of the file was changed, transfer times dropped drastically, though not in direct proportion to the number of bytes.
