Recommended SyncToy 2.0 will corrupt .jpg and .mp3 files

SyncToy 2.0 WILL randomly corrupt .jpg and .mp3 files when copying to a network NAS. Possibly other file types and on other network related copying tasks also. SyncToy authors have acknowledged the problem and claim to have a fix, but it won't be fixed until the next SyncToy release. No indication on when that will be. In the meantime, I'd suggest sticking with SyncToy 1.4 if you are copying across a network. You can find threads on the topic at the SyncToy forum.

SyncToy 2.0 cannot handle FAT32 drives (1.4 and 2.0beta could). Something to watch out for.
