Want to copy files fast? Meet CopyHandler!
Few posts before I’ve suggested using TeraCopy as a file copy handler Windows.
After a while I’ve noticed its cons. The major one is that it takes
TeraCopy a few seconds to initiate the file transfer. This caused copying or moving a bunch of links for example the take a lot more then it should.
Now I have a new favorite, an open-source software called CopyHandler. although it has an ugly GUI, it’s fast and highly configurable as opposed to TeraCopy.
Copy Handler program is a small tool designed for copy/move files and folders between different storage medias (hard disks, floppy disks, local networks, CD-ROMs and many other).
Advantages of the program:
-
copying data at rates up to 6-7 times faster than standard MS Windows copying (when copying data from one partiton to another on the same physical hard disk);
-
allow full-control over the copying/moving process by pause, resume, restart and cancel features;
-
fully customizable - over 60 detailed options - from setting language (multiple languages) through auto-resume on error, shutting down system after copying finished to very detailed and technical (customizing copy/move thread - buffer sizes, thread priority, …) ending on sounds on specific events;
-
multiple languages support - and more may appear, since the translation process is quite easy;
-
provides detailed informations about copy/move process (currect file, buffer sizes, priority, progress by size and visual bar, status, current and average speed, time elapsed/left, …);
-
can automatically resume all unfinished operations when system starts;
-
limiting count of simultaneously processing tasks (copyings/movings) - tasks are set into a queue and are processed in order it was inserted into queue;
-
integration with system - adds additional commands to context menus of folders and drag&drop menus;
-
this program is open source - just download and use…
