What program makes you copy files faster?

[boramk]

I don't want any of those programs where you manually choose files to copy, what program offers me automatic copying thats faster then the conventional Windows one when i say "paste"

If you are still using XP you can try Total copy, a little faster than windows + has a pause function

You can also test out YCopy... or Allway Sync

killcopy ftw you can even tell it to be the default copier in explorer

Vista is known to be slow in File Copying. I Thought SP1 was supposed to fix that?

Copy Handler seems to speed up copying also,

doing a search it looks like killcopy works in vista sp1

Editor's review...

The Good

Interface is very easy to handle and integrates perfectly in Windows Shell. The application will not interrupt the copying/moving process if it bumps into corrupted files, it will simply not deal with them, leaving you a chance to fix them.

The Bad

It stays on top of all the other windows which is kind of uncomfortable (but at least it minimizes in taskbar).

Clean up option does not work, neither on Vista nor on XP, unless the task is completed. It does not handle folders too well as it displays all the files as having errors (dropping only the files results in absolutely no problem at all).

The Truth

It will not copy the files faster, but it will complete the transfer by skipping any corrupted files. The application integrates perfectly in Explorer's shell and behaves as if it were a part of Windows.

The final conclusions show that Tera Copy is a lot faster than Windows Explorer on XP is, but only with proper defragmentation. On Vista, it moves a tad slower even if defragmentation of the disk has been performed.

Ya it is a bit buggy as well. Sometimes it skips a file or two when copying multiple files. I guess I'll need to get killcopy or totalcopy.

Totalcopy is fastest but crashes often. Doesn't do vista afaik.

I've had good luck with copy handler...dunno whether it works on vista.
