Windows Server - Any recommendations?

The company that I work for has a DFS replication setup (Win2003 SR2 SP2);
which works when it wants. The problem I am facing is that replication
scheduled is dependent on AD replication, so changes do not replicate quick
enough for my users.

Can any of you recommend another software that can do a better job at
replicating files among two servers (160GB of data)?

Thanks!
